Gary checks the result of Matrix Recharge on his own car -- a top-up coating over existing Matrix Black ceramic that left the paint noticeably shinier.

New Tesla S: dealer wax removed, two-stage polish, graphene coating applied. Factory process doesn't include polishing -- we make it shinier than when it left the showroom.

Land Rover Urban Defender -- black, significant swirl marks from previous washing. Four-stage polish (touchless wash, clay, buff, alcohol wipe) then graphene coating. One of our first graphene applications.

Jaguar XK hood clean and reproof. Not very dirty. Hood wear marks visible but cannot be removed -- the coating darkens the fabric and reduces contrast. Steamed-up windows confirmed a leak; drain flush and Krytox on rubbers.

A roundup: Nissan Leaf for Matrix Black, an unusual diesel spill in an electric car, Range Rover with Fireball Super Hydrophobic, and Audi A6 with Lustrous GS Graphene. Four different jobs side by side.
