Prices may varyThe manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet classifies this product with one or more GHS Category 1 health hazards — the most severe tier. The hazard statements in quotes below are the verbatim GHS language from the SDS, as required by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. The line under each statement translates the GHS classification into plain language.
GHS Category 1 eye damage — classified as causing irreversible eye damage on contact.
If splashed in eyes:
Call Poison Control immediately at 1-800-222-1222 (US, 24/7, free) and have the product container with you. Poison Control's standing guidance is to not induce vomiting after chemical exposure; they will direct first-aid steps based on the specific product.
About this product's hazards. This product's Safety Data Sheet uses signal word DANGER.Read the manufacturer's SDS and follow all safety instructions before use. CarCareTruth ratings translate the manufacturer's safety sheet. They do not replace the SDS or substitute for a hazard assessment specific to your task.
Health score is for adult use as intended, per the manufacturer's SDS. It does not model child ingestion, accidental spill cleanup, or off-label use. See the safety panel below for full hazard classification, and /disclaimer for the full editorial scope.

Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 2
H318 (serious eye damage Cat 1) from the trade-secret additive (3-12%) is classified at product §2 mixture level. Full-seal chemical splash goggles are required; H318 is an irreversible injury classification with no downgrade pathway.
U.S. regulatory standard
29 CFR 1910.133(a)(1); 1910.151(c)
“The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from… liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids…”
ANSI Z87.1 (chemical splash protection — incorporated via §1910.6)
OSHA standards apply to workplaces. Cited here as the U.S. reference threshold for the underlying hazard class.

Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 2
H315 (skin irritation Cat 2) is classified at product SDS §2 mixture level -- confirmed directly in the §2.1 classification table and §2.2 hazard-statement list. Per the ceramic-coating rubric, H315 classified in SDS §2 at mixture level is recommended without exception. Nitrile gloves recommended for applicator contact.
U.S. regulatory standard
29 CFR 1910.138(a)
“appropriate hand protection when employees' hands are exposed to hazards such as those from… chemicals which produce an adverse effect on the skin or eyes…”
OSHA standards apply to workplaces. Cited here as the U.S. reference threshold for the underlying hazard class.

Scope of these PPE tiers. The tiers on this page translate the product's Safety Data Sheet where one is published, plus its ingredient chemistry, into a comparable rating. They describe a formulation, not a situation: a tier is not a safety determination for any specific user, task, quantity, or environment. The manufacturer's label and use instructions govern how the product is handled. Where the product is used at work, the employer's PPE program and hazard assessment under 29 CFR 1910.132 decide what protection is selected, not this page.

TL;DR DANGER signal word: a trade-secret additive causes serious eye damage (H318) that can be permanent, so full-seal chemical splash goggles are required. Manufacturer claims 10-year protection via ASTM lab testing, but this 2023 launch still lacks independent durability or hardness data, and the 1-3 minute flash window raises botched-application risk.
This wipe-on graphene coating bonds to the clear coat and cures into a hard film that sheds water and resists contamination. Apply it with a suede applicator panel by panel through the tight flash window, then buff clean; it needs 48 hours before water contact, and 30 ml covers a full-size vehicle. Early owners speak well of the gloss and beading, but the review base is still small and untested past the first year.
Best for experienced home detailers comfortable with DANGER-rated chemistry who want to try a graphene formula ahead of any community track record. Skip it if you need proven multi-year durability: on the evidence available, this is currently the lowest-scoring ceramic coating we've reviewed, and an established coating with 2-3 years of community-confirmed results, or a lower-hazard option, is the safer first buy.
The SDS classifies this as causing serious eye damage (H318), so full-seal splash goggles are the relevant protection when applying it; one of the silicone carriers also carries a suspected reproductive-toxin classification (H361f). It also carries a California Prop 65 warning from trace methanol, which OEHHA lists as a developmental toxin. The silicone carriers are persistent and bioaccumulative per international registries; the formula contains no PFAS. The SDS dates to 2020, six years old, so verify a current SDS before repeated use.
The 10-year claim is backed by ASTM laboratory testing per the listing, not community data. The product launched in December 2023 and the review base is still modest, so there is no independent forum tracking or long-term follow-up to confirm real-world durability. Lab tests and daily-driver conditions are different environments. Build your expectations around the community data gap, not the label claim, until independent long-term reviews accumulate.
The SDS carries a DANGER signal word driven by a trade-secret additive that causes serious eye damage (H318) and by D4 octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (20-40%), which is classified as a suspected reproductive toxin (H361f). Full-seal chemical splash goggles are required; H318 is a Cat 1 irreversible injury classification. Nitrile gloves are appropriate during application due to the graphene oxide resin ingredient. Flash point is 55°C (131°F), so the formula is not flammable at room temperature and normal outdoor or open-garage application is fine.
No. The SDS lists a fluorine-modified silicone fluid (CAS 115361-68-7), but this is a fluorosilicone compound, not a PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance). PFAS require fluorinated aliphatic carbon chains; fluorosilicones are a different chemical family. The SDS §3 does not list any fluorinated aliphatic-chain ingredients, which is the affirmative basis for the PFAS-free classification.
Canadian distributor carzilla.ca lists it as Studios Only, suggesting a professional-grade product. It is sold on Amazon to consumers in 30 ml and 50 ml sizes, and the manufacturer provides consumer application instructions. The tight 1-3 minute flash window and serious eye damage chemistry make it a higher-stakes application than spray-and-wipe graphene products; it is best suited to experienced applicators.
The SDS on file is dated July 30, 2020, which is six years old as of this writing. The product ASIN first appeared December 2023, so the formula may predate the V2.0 branding. Ethos does not publish SDSs on their US Shopify storefront; this version was sourced from an Australian distributor. If you need a current SDS for workplace compliance, contact Ethos directly at their Vista, CA address.
