Videos: #graphene-coating

A Dodge Ram 1500 V8 belonging to an 87-year-old owner. Door sill holding water, door pillar gaskets previously fitted badly. Gary admits own sealant repair backfired -- James re-does it properly. Full graphene coating + headlight polish added.

Gary cleans his other half's graphene-coated Honda CR-V with a £4 supermarket jet wash. Three months in, washed twice, still shiny. Pressure washer + soft brush, 8 minutes, done.

Brand-new Tesla Model 3 machine-polished and sealed with graphene coating. Less correction needed on new paint, but preparation is still essential -- the coating bonds to the lacquer, not to any residual wax.

Jaguar F-Pace with heavy scratch and paint correction work -- wet sanded and machine polished before graphene coating.

A brand new Mercedes EQC 400 electric SUV. Owner asked not to wash it before arrival. Touchless degreaser wash, full machine polish by James, graphene coating + glass ceramic. Gary notes the complex alloy wheels and trim damage risk from harsh chemicals.

BMW M3 Sport graphene coating -- the same car featured in the "can you tell which is which" 1yr review. Wash marks polished off the bonnet before coating. Gary spotted the owner at a jet wash months later; the car still looked stunning.

Audi S8 2008 with drips from the headlining -- blocked front sunroof drains overflowing into the light fittings. Cassette cleaned, pipes flushed. Graphene coating, ceramic alloys and glass, leather treatment added.

Can you tell which car was coated a year ago and which was done yesterday? Gary puts a graphene-coated BMW M3 next to a freshly coated Ford Focus estate and reveals which is which. The BMW owner previously had a 5 Series with ceramic -- he upgraded to graphene this time.

A Ford Focus estate returns a year after its graphene coating for a wash and review. Gary shows the self-cleaning effect in dry conditions and demonstrates why jet-washing a coated car removes 90% of the dirt before a cloth goes near it.

Audi SQ5 for graphene coating -- the owner's third car with us. Previous ceramic on wife's car, then his own (neighbour bought it), now this. Ex-demo, clay-decontaminated, machine-buffed, graphene on body and alloys. "Newer than it was when it came out the factory."

Jaguar S-Type V8 that had been stored under a sheet -- sandpaper-rough, cobwebs inside, opaque headlights. Four-stage polish by James brought all the character lines back. Upgraded to graphene coating. Owner interview a year later: two washes, 5,000 miles, "oh yeah" pleased.

Three brand-new blue Teslas across three coating levels: Matrix Blue 3-year on a Model 3, Matrix Black 8-year (+ glass + leather) on a second Model 3, and graphene coating on a Model Y. All arrive before first wash; all leave with years of protection.

A Range Rover returns a year after its graphene coating. Gary walks the near side -- no hedge scratches despite country lane driving. A lawnmower scratch on the door is buffed down and the panel recoated. Honest verdict: best coating product we have used.

A nearly-new Ford Focus Estate in for graphene coating from new. We show why protecting untouched paintwork early gives a coating the best possible bond.

Tesla with SiRamik Lustrous GS Graphene Coating. The sustainability case for coatings: extend the life of the car you have rather than replacing it. Less washing, less scratching, paint stays newer.

Land Rover Defender Urban returns for alloy coating that was missed on the first visit (admin error). One of the first graphene-coated vehicles we monitor. Hydrophobic performance shown: water sheeting off with soap still in it.

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.

New Audi TT cabriolet -- two chips touched in, swirl marks polished out from the dealership valet. SiRamik Lustrous GS Graphene Coating. Convertible roof two-year coating applied.

Audi A6 for Lustrous GS Graphene coating. More preparation work than expected: iron fallout removed, previous bad polish stripped out with paintwork correction. Any coating seals in what is underneath -- the prep matters.
