Anyone ever use this stuff? Thoughts? Thanks!

Go with CQuartz UK 3.0 or Gtechniq CSL - both are super easy to use, and just wipe on, level, wipe off. - There's a sonax kit available from Canadian Tire too if you want, but I don't know how well it works.

I’ll be applying Adams Polishes new Graphene ceramic coating over the winter. Check them out. The Graphene coatings are the latest tech. 7+ years of protection.

I know this is a bit of an old post, but I sell Kias, this is the brand we offer inhouse. I can't find really any info about it online. That being said, from what I've seen in the back in our shop from our main detailer applying it, it looks difficult. Not your DIY friendly coating. So I guess that can go 2 ways,
1: it's cheap and terrible,
OR 2: It's an actual professional level product, sacrificing ease of use for proper results (although the DIY solutions are good. Like really GOOD)

So I really have no idea. We typically have left over when we do customer cars, I might try and scrounge up some and try it on my car

I'd be curious to know who the actual maker of it is. There really aren't the many companies that actually make their own.

Leaning towards #1 as most Dealer sold products like this are more about the profit margin for the Dealer and less about quality or durability for the customer.

I had a Dealer installed Diamond Kote exterior protection on my Audi when I bought it. It wasn’t a ceramic coating but it also didn’t really seem to do anything. Didn’t bead water or make the car easier to wash. Wouldn’t do it again knowing what I know now.

Well Diamond Kote from what I can tell has 2 main types, their "exterior coating" I'm assuming that's what you had l, and the "NanoCeramic" and that's an actual ceramic coating. Looks and smells and acts like it anyways. That's the one we have here, it's on pair in price to a Ceramic Pro job. Idk the performance however
