Adam's Polishes Graphene Boost

The SDS §15 CA-RTK discloses water as the carrier and amino-alkoxy dimethylsiloxane (CAS 71750-80-6) as the surface modifier — an amino-functional silicone polymer that bonds to paint and glass surfaces to deposit a hydrophobic film. Graphene content is not quantified in the SDS (below the 0.1% CA-RTK disclosure threshold). PCBTF and carbon black appear in the Prop 65 §15 listing at trace concentrations (0.044% and 0.001% respectively) but are not performance ingredients.

The SDS §15 lists two Prop 65 substances: PCBTF (para-chlorobenzotrifluoride, 0.044%) and carbon black (0.001%, in the airborne unbound particles form). Both are listed as potential carcinogens under California Prop 65. At these trace concentrations neither drives the product's hazard classification — the SDS is otherwise fully unclassified with no signal word — but their presence requires the Prop 65 disclosure. This is consistent with the pattern seen across many Adam's Polishes products.

The manufacturer claims 6–9 months. Community testing on daily drivers receiving weekly washes consistently indicates 2–4 weeks of strong beading per application — consistent with maintenance-tier SiO₂ boosters across the category. The longer label claims reflect the best case (lightly used vehicles, infrequent washing). For a daily driver washed weekly, plan to reapply monthly for consistent hydrophobic performance.

Community reviewers report clean application on coated vehicles with no high-spot complaints, and professional detailers use it on a variety of cars. No named third-party coating manufacturer (Gyeon, CARPRO, Gtechniq) has formally endorsed this product for use on their coating — the compatibility evidence is community-derived rather than manufacturer-verified. Brand materials state it is compatible with their own coating line. Based on available evidence it performs without issues on common ceramic coatings, but verify with your specific coating manufacturer if you have concerns.

Detail Spray is a quick detailer — it cleans and adds a light layer of protection in one step; it is a leave-on product. Graphene Boost is a SiO₂ booster — it is specifically designed to refresh the hydrophobic performance of an existing coating or sealant at the wash stage. Graphene Boost applies as a spray-and-wipe drying aid over already-protected paint; it is not a cleaner and does not replace a base coating. For best results use Graphene Boost after washing over a ceramic coating, sealant, or wax layer.
