IS A CERAMIC COATING RIGHT FOR YOU?
A ceramic coating fills in microscopic irregularities in the topmost layer of your vehicles paint and in turn it restores the gloss and the depth of colour.
This tough ceramic layer then acts as a protective top-coat for your paint with hydrophobic properties, this means rain will not stick to it and is far less likely to deposit dissolved dirt.
Once the coating has been applied the water behaviour on the surface of the paintwork will change, you will be able to see this in the form of visible water beading or sheeting.

Properties which require a different type of surface tension. The original coatings thickness is great at delivering its masking and filling capabilities.
-
Where does the Graphene Coating excel?Water spotting resistance Higher lubricity and slickness of finish Less prone to clogging Sheeting water
-
Could I use both coatings together?We do not recommend layering the two products on top of one another. Though the Graphene Coating can be effectively layered. However, we have seen many instances where imperfections like road rash are only present on discrete areas of the car, e.g., lower front wing and side skirts. At the detailer’s discretion, they have chosen to use the original 5 Year on these areas to utilize the masking and filling properties, then applied the Graphene coating to the remainder of the car.
-
Which product performs better?Each coating performs exceptionally well on its core properties (I.e. hard surface protection, hydrophobic, micro-scratch resistance, and gloss enhancement) over 5 Years. However, each coating has its own characteristics where it will excel, giving Accredited Detailers the tools to prescribe the right coating for the customer’s car and requirements.

-
How is the Graphene Paint Coating different to the original 5 Year Paint Coating?By infusing graphene as a performance additive. This has amplified the coating’s lubricity and slickness of finishing, which in turn has led to greater water-spotting resistance, self-cleaning, and overall aesthetic finish.
-
Where does the original 5 Year Paint Coating excel?Masking and filling Thickness of coating Tight water beading
-
Which product is better for masking surface imperfections?The original 5 Year Paint Coating carries greater masking and filling capabilities, which makes it best placed to treat imperfections like road rash and stone chips.
-
When would you recommend the 5 Year Graphene Paint Coating instead of the original 5 Year Paint Coating?If your vehicle has surface imperfections which are irreparable with machine polishing? For example: road rash or stone chips. Then the original 5 Year Paint Coating is the better option, as it has exceptional masking and filling capabilities. If it doesn't, then selecting the 5 Year Graphene Paint Coating is optimal. Subtle improvements can be seen to the lubricity and slickness of finish, which in turn lead to practical results such as ... An added benefit of the enhanced anti-water-spotting is that the coating is less prone to clogging.
