Love this topic! I think graphene is more of a “hot” and “trendy” thing as there would be no way to string together graphene particles in such a way to make them any stronger or last longer than your standard cermamic coating. As stated before prep is key. The photos below were a wash, clay bar, rubbing compound cut, glaze polish and finally ceramic coating. Overall, about ten hours spread over two days. In professional applications, most of what you’re paying for will be the time involved in prep. In a marine setting, you will not see the multiple years of protection like you would with automotive but you will definitely get a full season out of a ceramic coat with a little maintenance.
Graphene is hot and trendy, but more introduced to combat some of the negatives of your normal Si02 ceramic coatings. I.E. the bad water spotting and some "additional" chemical resistance. It's not necessarily there to add longevity. They switch up chemical compositions all the time on products. However, you're right there's minimal graphene in any of these so called graphene coatings. But for your normal person these spray coatings are decent, cheap, and easy to apply. Won't fix any problems, but if you start with decent gel coat it'll help keep it there.

Absolutely. A clay bar and a spray-on coating is very approachable and the constantly evolving chemistry will produce excellent results with minimal time and effort. Any coating is better than no coating but we have come a long way from carnauba based paste waxes.
Applied Glidecoat ceramic coating. Supposed to last 1.5 years so we will see. New boat and have not spalshed it yet.
Great reviews and the Company is in Florida in a harsh salt environment like I am at the NC coast.
Its expensive, so I hope its worth it....
