GlidecoatAlpha Graphene Ceramic Coating - Pro-Level Coating with Marine Grade Protection for Automotive, Marine, RV and more - Extreme Hydrophobics and Durability - 5 years Protection (Alpha250)

The media could not be loaded. This kit comes with everything you need to get started. Just wash your vehicle, apply a few drops to the included microfiber and sponge. Apply in a crosshatch pattern. Buff dry after 30 seconds or so. Let cure for 24 hours. And then you're good to go. This stuff sheets water quicker than anything I've ever used before. I'm so happy that it's going to last a long time and I won't have to wax my car again!

Saying results are pretty good might mean a 3 star rating to a lot of ppl, but I find that most products on the market are either useless or work decent. At least that's my opinion or maybe I've just not come across that amazing product yet. Anyways.. I've included a picture to showcase what the results were after quite a bit of rain. The picture is of the hood of my vehicle. I cleaned the entire thing thoroughly, buffed and polished it consistent with the instructions, and applied the ALPHA ceramic coat to ONLY the left half of the hood. Unfortunately I didn't quite get to 24hrs before rain exposure which may or may not have made a huge difference. The instructions indicate it can.. I'll let you be the judge of the attached pic. I did use a little bit of filtering to the image but mainly to enhance the ability to see the difference between the two sides. Due to the color of the vehicle, it's quite difficult to capture the results due to the mirror effect happening when trying to take pictures. With that said, the changes I made to the image only change it to the point where the results I witnessed in person are apparent and visible at least to some extent. Though, neither side is perfect after rain exposure, it is very clear that the side which was not treated with the product appears far dirtier and developed quite a bit of water spots. To me the product works well but it's expensive too. I feel like there are options that are more budget friendly and cost far less than this one, however I have to admit once again that this product is at a slight disadvantage due to the fact that the application process was not 100% followed and the treated area was exposed to rain which has been very unpredictable. Somehow every time I've prepped the surface to test the product, it ended up raining the very next day even if rain was not forecast. So with all that in mind.. I say it works well but like many other products, my experience wasn't something that managed to magically keep my car 100% clean and free of water spots.

Not easy to put on and a real pain to take off. Thi k twice about buying this costing. Also this is a non-returnable non refundable product.

Let me first say that I have no experience with similar ceramic coatings, though I have waxed more than a few cars. The suggested prep to apply this product is fairly involved, but I did my best to prep my vehicle properly. For me this included a strip wash, meticulous regular wash, clay bar treatment, light compounding using cheapie orbital polisher, ashed again and finally applied Alpha coating according to directions. It's only a couple of days later now, so I can't comment on the claimed 5 years of protection, but the results of all that effort certainly made a big difference, water beads on the horizontal surfaces and slides mostly off of the vertical surfaces. Prep is laborious, but application of the ceramic coating is much quicker and easier than any wax product I've ever used. So, 1 week into the claimed 5 years of protection I'm very satisfied. The product costs more than traditional waxes, but is a bargain is it lasts even 25% of the claimed lifespan.

I have tested a few coatings off of Vine, and this is the only one so far that actually works. The only negative to it, is you're going to need a couple bottles. It takes two coats to get full protection, and one bottle will only do a midsize vehicle. You can apply it to everything, your paint, glass, and especially trim if it's faded. It does a great job restoring the trim. It's easy to put on, wipe it on with the applicator up and down side to side, wait about a minute, and buff it off. The prep is the most important. You need to use an IPA, alcohol and water, the wipe the surface down after you've washed and decontaminated the paint, and have done your buffing. When it rains, if I'm driving over 40 miles an hour, I don't even use my windshield wipers, the water just beads and goes off. The vehicle is easier to keep clean, dirt and grime do not stick as well as it did before. As far as shine I didn't really notice much compared to the typical wax I use. I did just buff the vehicle out and put wax on it, and after using this, I didn't see a huge difference in gloss, it was about the same. It also works great on the screen of your cell phone or your tablet, it helps reduce fingerprints and smudges. So far I've been impressed with the performance and I'll keep the review updated if there's any changes.

I have a lot of solar lights on my property, and a few of them have very large solar panels. I knew that the small bottle would never cover my SUV, so the next best thing was to use it on my solar panels.The kit comes with instructions, a double-sided sponge, a couple of rubber gloves, and a 30ml bottle of Glidecoat Alpha Graphene Ceramic Coating. The instructions are thorough and easy to understand.It was easy to do, and I like that it has a dropper bottle to help control how much you use. I've done one of my panels so far, and it looks really good. Now, it will be protected.It's certainly pricey, so I couldn't afford to do my whole SUV. However, I've seen videos about using Graphene Ceramic coatings on cell phones, so I might just try it.Overall, it's a very good product if you can afford it.
