Questions before you choose

Is a spray-on ceramic a real coating?

RESIST bonds graphene and SiO2 ceramic to the clear coat as you wipe it on. In Project Farm's independent test of 8 coatings, RESIST needed 2.3 lb of sponge pull after five harsh chemicals, the lowest of the eight (Gyeon won the overall test). Ethos rates one application at 12+ months of stand-alone protection.

Spray or bottle coating for a car parked outside?

Both work outside. RESIST takes about 20 to 30 minutes a car with no cure time, and one application is rated 12+ months. A bottle coating like Graphene Matrix V2 takes longer to apply, needs a cure, and is rated 5+ years. Already coated? Use RESIST on top after washes to keep it slick.

Why the three-bottle pack and not one bottle?

Buy 2, get 1 free: three 16 oz bottles in one checkout, against $34.95 for a single bottle on the RESIST product page. More than 8 in 10 RESIST 16 oz orders are the 3-pack; the extra bottles go to top-ups or a second car.

What is the return policy?

Unopened bottles in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of purchase for a refund. Orders ship from Southern California, and shipping is free over $75.
