How to Use Ethos Resist Graphene Spray Coating

Ethos Resist is a graphene spray coating and paint sealant designed to add instant gloss, slickness, and long-lasting protection to your vehicle. It’s easy to use, safe on multiple surfaces, and works as both a standalone protectant and a maintenance topper for ceramic or graphene coatings.

This guide walks you through how to use Ethos Resist properly for the best results.

What Is Ethos Resist?

Ethos Resist is a graphene + ceramic based spray coating that provides up to 6+ months of protection with a simple spray-and-wipe application. It enhances gloss, improves water beading, and helps protect against UV exposure, dirt, and road grime.

Resist can be used on:

• Paint and clear coat

• Glass and mirrors

• Plastic trim and headlights

• Wheels and chrome

• As a topper for ceramic or graphene coatings

When Should You Use Ethos Resist?

Use Ethos Resist:

• After washing your vehicle

• As a maintenance product for ceramic or graphene coatings

• To boost gloss and protection between full details

• On lightly used daily drivers or garage-kept vehicles

Resist works best on clean, cool surfaces and should not be applied to heavy dirt or mud.

How to Apply Ethos Resist (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Wash and Dry the Vehicle

Start with a clean surface. Wash your vehicle using a pH-neutral shampoo and dry it completely. Resist bonds best to clean paint.

Step 2: Work in the Shade

Apply Ethos Resist on a cool surface, out of direct sunlight, to prevent streaking.

Step 3: Spray Lightly

Spray 1–2 light sprays per panel directly onto the surface or onto a clean microfiber towel. A little goes a long way.

Step 4: Spread Evenly

Using a soft microfiber towel, spread the product evenly across the surface in straight lines.

Step 5: Buff to a Finish

Flip to a clean side of the towel and lightly buff until the surface is streak-free and glossy.

Step 6: Repeat Panel by Panel

Continue around the vehicle, switching to fresh microfiber towels as needed.

How Long Does Ethos Resist Last?

Ethos Resist provides:

• Up to 6+ months of protection when applied to clean paint

• Shorter durability when used as a maintenance topper (recommended every 1–3 months)

Durability depends on:

• Surface preparation

• Driving conditions

• Wash frequency

Is Ethos Resist Safe for Ceramic or Graphene Coatings?

Yes. Ethos Resist is 100% safe to use on:

• Ceramic coated vehicles

• Graphene coated vehicles

• Waxed or sealed paint

It’s commonly used as a maintenance topper to restore slickness, gloss, and hydrophobic performance.

Can Ethos Resist Be Used on Glass and Trim?

Yes. Ethos Resist works great on:

• Exterior glass (improves water beading)

• Plastic trim

• Headlights

• Chrome

Avoid applying to interior surfaces or surfaces where slickness is not desired.

How Often Should I Apply Ethos Resist?

• Standalone protection: Every 4–6 months

• Maintenance/topper use: Every 1–3 months or after washes

• Show prep or gloss boost: As needed

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Use high-quality microfiber towels and switch towels frequently

• Do not over-apply — streaking is usually caused by too much product

• If streaking occurs, lightly re-buff with a clean towel

• For maximum performance, prep paint with decontamination or polishing before application

Can Ethos Resist be used on wheels?
