Graphene Coating V2.0 was built from the ground up to enhance every aspect of a coating's performance. We formulated this coating with our ALL NEW Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) resins, additional silicates, and additives. Graphene Matrix Coating V2.0 is a complete evolution in car coating technology, equipped with robust performance while being easy to use.
With the great success of our original Graphene Coating launched in early 2020, the next iteration had large shoes to fill. Good simply wasn't “good enough".
Through countless iterations over MANY months, we have created a Graphene Ceramic Coating that provides greater results and easier application at an even more affordable price point.
More slickness? Check.
Better durability? Check.
Easier application? Check.
More gloss? Out of this world!
How does Graphene Matric Coating V1.0 and Graphene Matric Coating V2.0 compare?
V2.0 was a complete redesign of our original Graphene Matrix Coating. We are always looking for additional performance from our products. So we traveled up the supply chain and approached our raw material manufacturers to find a way to further increase the performance and usability of our coatings. Doing this led us to significant breakthroughs, enabling large improvements in our coating across the board.
With Graphene Matrix Coating V2.0 you can expect:
Increased durability
Increased slickness
Increased ultra high gloss and luster
Increased resistance to water spotting and staining
Higher activity resin (40% Solids)
Low VOC slower flash solvent for quicker application
Graphene Matrix V2.0 utilizes the latest in nano coating technology to create an incredibly strong and flexible coating that anyone can use. This breakthrough technology can be applied to just about any surface, including painted surfaces, glass surfaces, plastic trim, while enabling greater versatility and a true one-size-fits-all application.
Whether you are a first-time coating user or a professional detailer, Graphene Matrix Coating V2.0 is guaranteed to perform month after month.
Graphene Matrix Coating V2.0 utilizes an ALL NEW innovative Reduced Graphene Oxide composite that bonds to form a semi-permanent coating of impenetrable protection. Our unique chemistry makes this coating easier to install than typical ceramic coatings. Since graphene coatings do not harden or crystallize like traditional ceramic coatings, they are less prone to water spots and reduced risks of potentially irreversible high spots or streaking.
Graphene Matrix Coating V2.0’s durability is rated in years, not months like many spray-on conventional Ceramic Coatings. Once applied, this coating forms a permanent bond to the finish, protecting from and repelling dirt and contaminants.
Graphene Matrix Coating V2.0’s unparalleled hydrophobic properties to resist contamination is due to its extremely high water contact angle. Shedding water and contaminants with ease, while greatly reducing the risk of etching, water spots, and staining on the paint surface. In addition to its resistance to swirl marks, scratching, weathering, and oxidation, Graphene Coating V2.0 creates a layer that forms an almost impenetrable barrier on top of the vehicle's paint once applied. Future maintenance, cleaning, and washing of your vehicle will never be easier. Especially when paired with our Graphene Coating Maintenance product line.
Clean any loose dust, dirt, and contaminants from the surface.
Clay bar any rough embedded contaminants from the surface to ensure no impurities interfere with the properties of the coating.
Polish/Compound to remove any paint defects in the form of scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. Graphene Matrix is a semi-permanent coating so once applied any defects will remain sealed underneath.
Deep clean any polish oils or residues from the surface that could inhibit the bonding process using Ethos Detox.
Remove any residual water that can be hiding underneath panel gaps, headlights, or taillights which could drip out and affect the coatings curing process.
Temperature and humidity can play a big factor in “flash” time (Time between application and when the coating is ready to be wiped off). We recommend applying in temperatures between 65-75*. In higher temperatures flash time will be expedited so first test using a small section to determine workability before moving onto the rest of the vehicle.
Graphene Matrix can be applied to any painted, plastic, or glass surface (including windshield).
Make sure the surface has been completely cleaned and decontaminated with Ethos Detox. The cleaner the surface, the better the bond!
Shake bottle well.
Apply a few drops of Graphene Matrix onto your applicator until evenly covered.
Starting with horizontal/top surfaces first, applying in straight lines slightly overlapping from one line to the next. Work in small areas approximately 3'x3' or the size of a door or half a hood at a time. Temperature and humidity will determine coverage areas allowable between application and removal.
Applicators should glide smoothly on the surface while laying down an even layer of coating. If the applicator starts to drag or the application becomes inconsistent, apply additional drops to the applicator.
Immediately after application, you will notice a “Rainbow Effect” (More prevalent on dark colors) while the applied coating bonds to the surface. Roughly 1-3 min after application, the "Rainbowing" will start to turn into a haze/fog, this means the coating is ready for removal. (Temperature and humidity will expedite the flash time. Test a small area first before continuing onto the rest of the vehicle)
Using premium microfiber towels (Preferably our Utility Towels), thoroughly wipe down the section to remove the Graphene Coating residue. Your first wipe should remove about 80% of the residue, and your second wipe should easily remove the remainder. Use small, circular motions and little to no pressure during removal.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check adjacent panels to make sure you haven't "pushed" excess coating to other areas. (We recommend using a flashlight or smartphone light for inspection to make sure every bit of residue is gone. If you fail to remove all of the residues during the flash time, it will become a dark spot once it cures and can require polishing or compounding to remove) So be thorough and continue to check your work before moving on to the next step.
Repeat these steps as you move along the rest of your vehicle. Coating the paint, plastics, trim, and glass surfaces in the same manner. When layering one-hour minimum is required between coats.
Let the coating fully dry/cure for at least 48 hours before allowing it to get wet. The longer it stays dry the better, as it will continue to cure for about 5 days (you CAN drive the car during this time).
Wash and maintain the coating as outlined in our maintenance protocols. ethoscarcare.com/coating-maintenance
Most ceramic coatings on the market are comprised of Sio2 (Silicone Dioxide) which is commonly referred to as Silica, also known as sand or glass. Graphene was discovered in 2004 and won a nobel prize in 2010 due to its incredible attributes which have shown to be 100X stronger than steel while remaining flexible and not breaking.
Graphene Matrix utilizes this innovative technology to make a formula that takes ceramic coatings to the next level. Making them easier to apply while providing additional benefits and results.
Graphene Coatings are an evolution on the tried and true Ceramic Coating and are applied in a very similar manner while reducing some of the risks and potential downsides.
With options ranging from Teflon (PTFE) to Ceramic and Graphene it can be hard to determine which car coating is the best option for your vehicle.
Graphene Matrix Coating was formulated using the latest technologies to provide the professional or DIYer the best performance and easiest installation. This means that just ONE application can last 5 or more years as well as make your maintenance routine as easy as it comes.
Ethos Graphene Coatings provide a protective coating to your vehicle shielding it from UV rays, oxidation and other environmental contaminants.
Due to its incredibly strong Graphene structure, Graphene Coatings have been show to provide a very durable protective layer for any car, truck or boat.
You can expect your Graphene Matrix Coating to last up to 5 years! Compared to Ceramic Coatings, Graphene Matrix performs extremely well in many areas, such as water spot resistance, ability to reject water on contact, and surface hardness.
One of the greatest things about our Graphene Matrix technology is that you can apply it without needing any professional tools or experience. Simply follow the instructions included with each package and you can achieve fantastic results from the comfort of your own home.
