Full Description

Autobead Graphene Wax is a hybrid wax with graphene infused as a performance additive. Expect unique water repellency with no water spotting, a stunning depth of colour and durability of 12 months if the finish is maintained.

Graphene is a form of carbon: a single layer of atoms in a hexagonal lattice, the building block of graphite and, Autobead says, approximately 200 times stronger than steel. In the wax it fills the gaps in the matrix for extended durability, and its lubricity leaves a surface so slick that self cleaning improves significantly, while gloss and clarity are amplified.

Expert Notes

Graphene is what sets this wax apart in Autobead's range. It fills the gaps in the wax matrix, which is where the extended durability comes from, and its lubricity makes the surface so slick that dirt and water have little to hold on to.

The 12 months depends on maintenance, so wash with care. Thin layers work best, and a second layer 15 minutes after the first optimises performance and durability, as Autobead's own tip says.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Clear coat
  • Painted panels

Caution: Apply to cool panels out of direct sunlight, and remove the wax once it has cured.

How To Use

Prepare the panel

  1. Wash and dry the car.
  2. Make sure the panel is cool to the touch and out of direct sunlight.

Apply and buff

  1. Apply a thin layer with a dedicated applicator.
  2. Work in a crosshatch, with the final movement in the direction water runs off the panel.
  3. Work one panel at a time, and do not leave the wax on for long once it has cured.
  4. Allow approximately 2 minutes to cure.
  5. Remove with a short pile microfibre towel.
  6. Buff to a high gloss with a separate, clean microfibre towel.
  7. For a second layer, wait 15 minutes and repeat.

Top Tip: Finish each crosshatch in the direction water runs off the panel, as Autobead advises.

Autobead products by job

Pre-wash and wash. Heavy Dirt is a concentrated citrus pre-wash for bugs, bird lime and road grime, and it is safe on wax and sealants: dilute it 25:1 for everyday use or 10:1 for heavy dirt, and it also cleans door shuts, engine bays, plastics and rubber. Snow Foam is mildly alkaline and goes in the lance at 1 part to 4 parts water. Pure Shampoo is a pH-neutral 2300:1 shampoo with no gloss enhancers or waxes, so it will not mask or break down existing protection, and Ceramic Shampoo builds up a layer of ceramic protection with regular use.

Wheels. Alloy Cleaner is a ready-to-use, non-acidic wheel cleaner that is safe on all wheel types, and Alloy Cleaner Concentrate is a concentrate you dilute to suit how dirty the wheels are. For neglected wheels with baked-on brake dust, Acid Wheel Cleaner is a gel used at 1:3, but not on sensitive finishes or damaged wheels. Finish with Tyre Dressing, a gel that does not sling.

Decontamination. Iron Fallout Remover is a pH-neutral gel that turns purple as it dissolves iron particles on paint and wheels, and Tar Gel lifts tar spots with less run-off than a liquid. Keep tar removers off plastics and rubber.

Paint correction. The three compounds are graded by the sanding marks they remove: Heavy Cut up to 1500 grade, Medium Cut up to 2500 grade and Finishing Compound up to 3000 grade, each with a Downforce foam pad of the same cut (heavy, medium, fine) for dual action or rotary machines. Surface Prep removes silicones, wax and sealant before a coating.

Protection. Lance Sealant gives up to three months of protection from a foam lance, Spray Sealant is a silicone polymer and silica resin sealant, and the waxes include a Matte Wax for matt paint and wraps. Between washes, Quick Detailer and Ceramic Quick Detailer top up the gloss.

Interior. Interior Detailer leaves plastics, vinyl and leather with a matt, factory-look finish, Leather Cleaner is a pH-neutral cleaner and conditioner, and All Purpose Cleaner dilutes from 5:1 to 30:1 for everything from carpets to wheel arch liners.

Shop Autobead by type: citrus pre-wash, snow foam, car shampoo, wheel cleaners, compounds and polishes, polishing pads and ceramic coatings.

Choosing an Autobead ceramic coating

Autobead's Silex ceramic coatings come in two families:

  • Silex Series: the 1 Year Paint Coating and 2 Year Paint Coating, titanium ceramic coatings designed to be applied outdoors in a single, self-levelling layer. They resist chemicals from pH 2 to pH 12.
  • Silex Pro: the 3 Year and 5 Year Paint Coatings and the 5 Year Graphene Coating, for longer protection.

Autobead also makes coatings for alloy wheels, glass, leather and fabric.

Autobead's coating warranty matches each paint coating's labelled durability. It applies when the coating is installed by an Autobead Accredited Detailer, the warranty is registered within seven days and the car has a yearly inspection with the installer.

Whoever applies it, the paint needs to be washed, decontaminated and, if needed, polished first, then wiped with Surface Prep so the coating can bond. Do not wash the car with detergent for the first 10 days, then keep it clean with Pure Shampoo or Ceramic Shampoo.

Autobead also trains detailers through its Detail Like a Pro courses (a Foundation Day, an Advanced Day and a four-day Masterclass) and its Silex accreditation for professional coating installers.
