What does the UNLOCKD Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene do?
The UNLOCKD Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene adds a slick, glossy and highly hydrophobic protective layer to your vehicle’s exterior. Its formula combines ceramic silica technology with graphene to enhance paint clarity and shine while helping repel water, dirt, road grime and everyday environmental contamination.
Unlike a conventional quick detailer that is primarily used for light cleaning and appearance enhancement, this graphene ceramic spray is designed to leave longer-lasting protection behind. The slicker surface can also make routine washing and maintenance easier because contamination has a harder time adhering to the protected finish. It can be used as standalone paint protection or as a maintenance layer over an existing ceramic coating, making it practical for daily drivers, enthusiasts and professional detailers.
How long does UNLOCKD Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene last?
A properly applied treatment can provide approximately 3–4 months of protection. During that period, the coating is designed to maintain hydrophobic water behaviour, gloss, slickness and an additional barrier against common environmental contaminants.
Actual durability depends on how the vehicle is used and maintained. Frequent washing, harsh cleaning methods, mileage, outdoor storage and exposure to Canadian winter conditions such as road grime and salt can affect how long the protection performs. Surface preparation also matters: removing existing waxes, oils, polishing residue and contamination before application allows the product to make better contact with the surface. When water repellency and slickness noticeably begin to decline, the vehicle can be cleaned and another thin, even application performed.
How many cars can I coat with a 500 mL bottle?
A 500 mL (16.9 oz) bottle provides approximately 4–5 complete treatments for most cars or 3–4 treatments for larger SUVs when the product is applied as directed. Vehicle size, application technique and the amount sprayed onto each panel will affect actual coverage.
More product does not necessarily create better ceramic protection. Applying a light, even amount one section at a time helps achieve consistent coverage while reducing wasted product and making the final buff easier. Oversaturating a panel can also leave unnecessary residue or haze that requires additional buffing. For professional detailers treating multiple vehicles, careful application can therefore improve both product efficiency and consistency from one vehicle to the next.
How do you apply Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene without streaks or haze?
Start with a thoroughly washed, completely dry vehicle and work on a cool surface out of direct sunlight. Shake the bottle well, then work one section at a time using a light, even amount rather than heavily saturating the panel.
Spread the coating evenly with a clean, dry microfiber towel, then use a clean side of the towel or a second dry microfiber to buff away remaining residue until the finish is clear and streak-free. Do not allow excess product to dry on the surface. Oils, old wax, polishing residue and other contamination should be removed beforehand when maximum bonding and finish quality are desired. After completing the vehicle, keep the treated surfaces dry and avoid washing for at least 24 hours while the protection sets.
Can I use UNLOCKD Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene over an existing ceramic coating?
Yes. Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene can be applied over an existing ceramic coating as a maintenance layer to refresh hydrophobic performance, surface slickness and gloss.
This makes it useful when an existing coating is still present but its water behaviour or slick feel has begun to weaken from regular driving and washing. Before applying the spray, thoroughly wash the vehicle so road film, dirt and other contamination are not trapped beneath the maintenance layer. Apply only a thin, even amount and buff the surface completely clear. Using a ceramic spray topper periodically can help maintain the appearance and water-repelling characteristics of a coated vehicle without repeating the more involved process associated with applying a traditional ceramic coating.
What is the difference between a graphene ceramic spray, car wax and a traditional ceramic coating?
A graphene ceramic spray offers a practical middle ground between conventional wax protection and a more involved traditional ceramic coating. UNLOCKD Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene uses ceramic silica technology combined with graphene to provide hydrophobic protection, slickness and enhanced gloss through a straightforward spray-and-wipe application.
Traditional waxes are commonly chosen for shine and easy application, while professional or traditional ceramic coatings typically involve more extensive paint preparation, application and curing procedures. This spray is designed for drivers who want ceramic-style water repellency and approximately 3–4 months of protection without a complicated coating process. It can also function as a maintenance product over an existing ceramic coating, giving enthusiasts and professional detailers flexibility depending on the vehicle and desired detailing process.
Does Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene help protect a car during Canadian winter?
Yes. The hydrophobic and slick protective layer can be particularly useful during Canadian driving conditions because it helps reduce how readily water, road grime and everyday contamination adhere to the vehicle’s exterior. It does not, however, replace regular winter washing or proper removal of road salt.
Before winter, applying the product to properly cleaned and prepared paint can add another protective barrier between the finish and the contamination encountered during normal driving. During winter, continue washing the vehicle as conditions permit rather than allowing salt and road film to accumulate for extended periods. Because severe weather, frequent washing and heavy road contamination can affect durability, monitor the vehicle’s water repellency and slickness and reapply when protection has noticeably diminished.
Why should I prepare the paint before applying a graphene ceramic spray coating?
Proper surface preparation helps the coating make better contact with the paint and can improve the consistency of the finished result. Dirt, road film, oils, polishing residue and old protection can remain on a vehicle even when the paint appears visually clean.
At minimum, thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle before applying UNLOCKD Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene. For the best bonding and finish, remove existing waxes, oils, polishing residue and other surface contamination before application. Paint correction is not automatically required, but existing defects such as swirls or scratches will not be removed by applying the coating. Starting with properly prepared paint allows the ceramic spray to enhance the finish that is already underneath rather than attempting to hide defects or applying protection over contamination.
How often should I apply UNLOCKD Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene?
You generally do not need to apply it after every car wash. One properly applied treatment is designed to provide approximately 3–4 months of protection, although real-world durability varies with driving conditions, washing frequency, storage and environmental exposure.
Instead of following a rigid calendar, pay attention to how the protected surface behaves. A noticeable decline in water beading, slickness or ease of cleaning can indicate that the protection is weakening. Thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle before reapplication, and avoid continuously layering excessive amounts of product. For vehicles exposed to demanding conditions—such as high mileage, outdoor storage or Canadian winter road contamination—protection may require more frequent maintenance than on a garage-kept vehicle driven primarily in mild conditions.
Can beginners use Ceramic Coating Spray with Graphene, or is it only for professional detailers?
It is suitable for beginners, car enthusiasts and professional detailers because it provides ceramic-style protection through a relatively simple spray, spread and buff process. It does not require the more involved application procedure typically associated with traditional ceramic coatings.
The key is applying it correctly rather than applying a large amount. Work on clean, cool and completely dry surfaces out of direct sunlight, treat one section at a time and use clean microfiber towels to spread and buff the coating. Avoid allowing excess product to dry on the surface, and always test an inconspicuous area before full application. Once finished, keep the treated vehicle dry and avoid washing it for at least 24 hours so the protective layer has time to properly set.
