I am impressed with the 303 Graphene. Today I did the F430. It did not really need much prep work, so it was polish and buff, I spent more time on the stuff that don't get done like plastic polished the lights, tail pipes, fed the leather, door shuts, arches, engine bay etc.

Then it was out for a blast and took some shots it really does not look like a 13 year old car !!




Love the way this shot came out

You can see a real depth of shine on the bonnet on that second pic. Looks very nice indeed.

It’s good stuff, I bet it’s amazing on a black car!
I had my boot done in Graphene as it's a big flat surface with a spoiler keeping all the water on it so to speak as a test.

It performs well, better than ceramic, but wouldn't say the finish (deep shine) is quite as good.

That said, it is still pretty experimental, but I've got the car booked in for a real good going over in the next couple of weeks. Even though the ceramic is maintained, it just isn't as good as it was when first applied 18 months ago.

Look forward to some pictures matey.

Given the 303 is just £15 and its done 3 cars already and used a quarter of the bottle, its great value for money.

Thanks, It came out well, it has a very deep gloss wet look, the only downside I found, is the finish is a little grabby and does not feel as nice to touch like a quality slick wax.

It will harden mate, especially in this weather, but I bet it's in the garage seeing no sun :ROFLMAO:

It is, but its tempting to dig it out again today, I've used it to much this bank holiday (y)

Was out having a go in this beast Yesterday (I must remember to clean my phone lens) Its a 620R I just about fitted in the seat and its bruised both my sides, you just can't go quicker, bonkers car and loved it, just not brave enough to own one !!
