no marring.. at least it is not visible to my eye
so far i have used it on both my old kelisa & 8-months old new car

i strictly follow the guide that i learn from youtube videos
use a lot of soapy water & roll/flatten in after few rounds
throw away the ones that you drop on the floor

That's why real detailers charges a ton! It's an art.
Whether one appreciates the art and fees requested, is another story.

There's a huge difference between cheap ah neh x amount layers (lol) polishing especially those from discount/voucher/coupon websites vs actual detailing centers or even those famous ones, where one detailing session can cost over 5 digits, or even car wash alone (just wash, no wax nothing) can cost 4 digits.

Detailing, just like every skills in life, will have learning curves, and once you're over that hurdle, you can reap the rewards.

Cheap tools/products not to say cannot use, however they may come with drawbacks in favor of cost such as:
- not user friendly (smell, maybe easier to scratch/damage surface, like fake /cheap clay)
- no environmental concerns
- packaging
- effectiveness (maybe a cheap polish can get same end result as expensive ones, but may need to Polish more, and/or be careful not to over polish and damage surface like first point mentioned)

Don't let that scar you bro. 

Learn from the experience.

It's therapeutic to take care of your rides and give them TLC.

3 months update:



Hydrophobic, sleekness and water contact angle still top notch. have faith can last 6 months. 

Just a China unknown brand corded 3800w leaf blower.

Use proper towels no need wring single car 🤣 oh just hose off most of the water even faster. But I just hate washing the cloth after.

Any sifu can advise any good detailing shop that can clean this? Long story short, I parked my car for three mths during MCO and mould started growing inside.

Currently based in KL.

Someone suggested Hoven Clean but they say they can't do it for door to door service.

Hi sifus, are car coatings (interior/exterior/engine bay) really useless and is a waste of money?
Should I just polish and wax my car every 3/6 months instead?

been reading on this topic for a whole day but there's too much information dunno where to start 
will appreciate alot if there is a 'basic guide for noobs'

total newbie here as I just got my first car and it's white so better learn how to keep it looking good ASAP
and white paint easily get dirty watermarks that flowed down from the roof..
not sure if wiping it off a few times with wet cloth is better or just wash it off with water and sponge..

My lexus ES was one of many cars picked to try out Cerakote Graphene. Here are my verdicts entering 6 months. and i have not sent my car for maintenance yet, as required by the warranty from Cerakote

Many brands are exploiting Graphene now with their marketing, and most of them are disappointing, therefore a lot of people do not believe in graphene.

tried and tested, 6 months in, very minimal water mark which can be removed without polishing, factoring in 3 months mco without car wash and car left outside exposed to rain and sunlight. it is not just the graphene alone of course, i believe it is Cerakote's coating that does the trick (not sure about this part). this is very different from ceramic coatings. hydrophobic is still like new, and surface is still smooth

I did my so called "research" aka googling    before allowing them to use my car for testing, but those videos from youtubers from USA are mostly using Graphene that is a few years in the market, which is old technology. These so called Graphene coatings uses Graphite Oxide instead of reduced Graphite Oxide, which actually is in fact Graphene, but does not act as coating agent, it is simply a marketing gimmick as other than making the coating looks black, u get nothing else. Reduced Graphite Oxide meanwhile, is itself a coating agent, and it is super hydrophobic, helps with watermark issue too. rGO is extremely difficult to produce and super expensive, and whoever has it, is producing in-house, u cant mass produce rGO yet. Only huge companies like Cerakote can do it.

To say it eliminates watermark alltogether is wrong, it is like saying if u pour minerals on your car it will go missing, no it does not do magic, but with Cerakote's Graphene, u can wash it away without issue. I am washing my car once every 3-4 weeks now (which is wrong, supposed to be 1-2weeks once). During mco, no washing (lazy), after that i get very very few of them, and they removed it using soft 99 and a microfiber cloth, thats all. i know a lot might bash me here for this, because ceramic coating does not behave like this, but bash me after u try it, it is seriously different

As for graphene flex wax, at that price, it is impossible to have rGO, and S&S is still performing better than graphene flex wax, so u do the math
I believe the real Graphene is here, try it out then u will understand. They go with the tagline "Affordable Luxury", it is even cheaper than some brands in the market. There are a lot of recommended detailing shops in cerakote malaysia's fb page, call them up and check the price, i bet u will be surprised.

not sure on this one. need to check with Cerakote or detailer, but i know u can on wrap. anyhow, why u need to apply on PPF?

hi guys..i recently bought a new car and i use rainx on the windshield..i got problem with wiper judder..any ways to prevent this wiper judder thing?

annoying right ahaha..

Glad it works for you, I’m using SnS too but I feel it’s overrated 😆

give Cerakote Graphene Spray Coating a try, u'll love it

if u ever gonna recoat your car, or for those who hasnt done any coating, u guys ought to give Cerakote Graphene Coating a try. 3-4 weeks without washing, parked outside 24/7(hardly drive), rain or shine, 0 watermark

Any further review on cerakote? Buying a used car soon, want to give it a good shine

if u ever gonna recoat your car, or for those who hasnt done any coating, u guys ought to give Cerakote Graphene Coating a try. 3-4 weeks without washing, parked outside 24/7(hardly drive), rain or shine, 0 watermark

Let's say my daily driver(exposed under open air and direct sun 24/7) hasn't been polished or waxed for the past 3-4 years, just weekly/biweekly wash, will the cerakote  graphene coating improve the surface a little?
Not sure if the clear coat on the car is still valid or not, certain surface has become dull and some has minor scratched

Anyone can recommend a good spray on coating that is easy to apply? Something that does not require any muscle or machines to apply..... Thanks!

U are using turtlewax which is like one of the best already..
But price is almost the same as cerakote but cerakote is lesser in amount right?

Need to remove tw layer -> recommended
