The durability of the coating hinges on factors like the coating type and the car's operating and storage conditions, with maintenance playing a pivotal role. Consider Alpha Prime Graphene 10H, meticulously crafted with our patented blend of graphene plus carbon nanotubes, showcasing an impressive lifespan of 9+ years when applied to a well-maintained car. Alpha Prime Graphene 10H exhibits chemical resistance, ensuring its stability against robust car wash shampoos and cleaning agents. However, it's important to note that the product's lifespan can be compromised by aggressive washing techniques, such as brushes or automatic car washes. To optimize longevity, we advocate the use of microfiber cloths for car washing, harnessing the powerful hydrophobic properties of our ceramic coatings that simplify cleanup. Consistent and proper maintenance is imperative for achieving optimal results and ensuring the lasting effectiveness of any of our products. Additionally, it's essential to be mindful that ceramic coatings can be removed through abrasive means like machine polishing, cutting compounds, or cut and polish procedures. Neglecting regular washing can diminish the performance and durability of the product, underscoring the importance of proactive care to preserve the coating's effectiveness over time.
