ETHOS GRAPHENE MATRIX COATING V2 KITS

V2.0 was a complete redesign of our original Graphene Matrix Coating. We are always looking for additional performance from our products. So we traveled up the supply chain and approached our raw material manufacturers to find a way to further increase the performance and usability of our coatings. Doing this led us to significant breakthroughs, enabling large improvements in our coating across the board.

Graphene Matrix V2.0 utilizes the latest in nano coating technology to create an incredibly strong and flexible coating that anyone can use. This breakthrough technology can be applied to just about any surface, including painted surfaces, glass surfaces, plastic trim, while enabling greater versatility and a true one–size–fits–all application.

Whether you are a first-time coating user or a professional detailer, Graphene Matrix Coating V2.0 is guaranteed to perform month after month.

5+ Years of Protection

Graphene Matrix Coating V2.0’s durability is rated in years, not months like many spray-on conventional Ceramic Coatings. Once applied, this coating forms a permanent bond to the finish, protecting from and repelling dirt and contaminants.

How to Prep for Application

1. Clean any loose dust, dirt and contaminants from the surface.
2. Clay any rough embedded contaminants from the surface to ensure no impurities interfere with the coating’s properties.
3. Polish/Compound to remove any paint defects in the form of scratches, swirl marks and oxidation. Graphene Matrix is a semi permanent coating so once applied any defects will remain sealed underneath.
4. Deep clean any polish oils or residues from the surface that could inhibit the bonding process using Ethos Detox.
5. Remove any residual water that can be hiding underneath panel gaps, headlights or taillights which could drip out and affect the coatings curing process.

How To Apply

Make sure the surface has been completely cleaned and decontaminated with Ethos Detox. The cleaner the surface, the better the bond!

• Shake bottle well.
• Apply a few drops of Graphene Matrix onto your applicator until evenly covered.
• Starting with horizontal / top surfaces first, applying in straight lines slightly overlapping from one line to the next. Work in small areas approximately 60cm x 60cm or the size of a door or half a hood at a time. Temperature and humidity will determine coverage areas allowable between application and removal.
• Applicators should glide smoothly on the surface while laying down an even layer of coating. If the applicator starts to drag or the application becomes inconsistent, apply additional drops to the applicator.
• Immediately after application, you will notice a “Rainbow Effect” (More prevalent on dark colors) while the applied coating bonds to the surface. Roughly 1-3 min after application, the “Rainbowing” will start to turn into a haze/fog, this means the coating is ready for removal. (Temperature and humidity will expedite the flash time. Test a small area first before continuing onto the rest of the vehicle)
• Using premium microfiber towels – The Rag Company’s Edgeless 365, thoroughly wipe down the section to remove the Graphene Coating residue. Your first wipe should remove about 80% of the residue, and your second wipe should easily remove the remainder. Use small, circular motions and little to no pressure during removal.
• IMPORTANT: Be sure to check adjacent panels to make sure you haven’t “pushed” excess coating to other areas. (We recommend using a flashlight or smartphone light for inspection to make sure every bit of residue is gone. If you fail to remove all of the residue during the flash time, it will become a dark spot once it cures and can require polishing or compounding to remove) So be thorough and continue to check your work before moving onto the next step.
• Repeat these steps as you move along the rest of your vehicle. Coating the paint, plastics, trim and glass surfaces in the same manner. When layering one hour minimum is required between coats.
• Let the coating fully dry/cure for at least 48 hours before allowing it to get wet. The longer it stays dry the better, as it will continue to cure for about 5 days (you CAN drive the car during this time).
