So if a graphene coating is just a ceramic coating with a little something extra, why not just use the ceramic? The answer to that is simple. Everything a good ceramic coating does, a good graphene coating does it even better. A graphene coating takes all the best traits of a ceramic coating and amplifies them. It also helps minimize less desirable tendencies, such as water and soap spots. 

Because graphene oxide’s chemical structure allows it to form a microscopic honeycomb structure, creating a high contact angle and a low sliding angle, graphene coatings are highly water repellent.

This means that instead of just making the water bead on the surface of your vehicle, the high sliding angle causes those beads to roll off easily, and it even rolls off some of the dirt that would otherwise accumulate.

Properly applied graphene coatings are also much more durable than traditional ceramic coatings. Graphene is one of the strongest coatings globally, and even after being reduced to graphene oxide, it retains that high level of strength. Of course, that doesn’t mean that it’s immune to nicks and scratches, but it does make it more resistant to water etching and any debris picked up by your wash mitt or drying towel when you wash your vehicle.

The added graphene makes the finished coating incredibly glossy and slick, leaving a smooth feeling after curing. The kind of sheen achieved by a well-applied graphene coating is unmatched. Today, there are graphene products on the market which offer a glass-like shine that will keep your vehicle looking great all year round.
