Triphene vs Graphene vs Ceramic Coatings – What's Real and What's Hype?
About this episode
In this episode I'm breaking down one of the most confusing and overhyped topics in the detailing world right now—Triphene vs Graphene vs Ceramic Coatings.
What even is Triphene? Is Graphene really better than ceramic? And do any of these coatings actually do what they say on the label—or are they just buzzwords made to sell you more bottles?
I've tested it all—from pro-grade ceramics to "next-gen" graphene sprays—and in this episode, I'll walk you through:
-
What each of these technologies really is (without the hype)
-
How ceramic coatings like SiO2 actually work
-
Whether graphene adds any real benefit or is just marketing
-
What Triphene might be (and what it probably isn't)
-
What actually matters when choosing a coating for your vehicle
I'll also share the behind-the-scenes story of how I developed Tough As Shell and Gloss Boss—my two go-to coatings built for real-world results, not buzzwords.
If you've ever been confused about which coating is best—or just want a no-BS take on what's legit—this episode is for you.
