Was it topped with Exo?

In your opinion what are the gloss levels like?

P.s the bike looks mega. Any more pics?

This is getting a little technical for me now :D

The car has ceramic only and as far as I know, it has no top up, other than retreatment as seen as necessary.

The bike has Graphene only, looks amazing and I would say maintains itself better than ceramic. I would aloso say it is higher gloss, but the main body panels are painted plastic, so does that have an effect?

I have someone do it for me, so can't be more specific than that, but happy to ask him if you need?

That last video was a long watch !!

It still looks to me like the Ceramic coats are still the better product. However, bearing in mind my car will never see rain and Strangely I still get enjoyment out of pulling the car out, polishing it, waxing it, looking at it, then putting it away again (especially with a few Beers) for me, I just think it might not be worth it.

I am going to have ago at doing the RRS myself soon, and my choice will be the GT Serum light.

That is exactly what I am going for Boba, I found it is cheapest by far on Amazon right now.

I do love a ceramic coat and was interested in Graphene, but as said above, difficult to apply and probably still a little early in use to call it, but I really wanted to test it, so had the bike covered in Graphene. Went the whole hog with plastics, metals, glass etc. The finish is amazing (I wish I took a before photo) and 2,000 miles later it's still as good with no top up.
