Graphene coating recommendations

I was considering applying a ceramic coating to the paint finish on my new 2021 M550i, but then I started reading about graphene coatings as being superior.

Does anyone have any experiences to share?

I'm curious about this, too. I have never done ceramic; I typically use Zaino products and they have a new clear seal product that has worked great for me.

Curious whether graphene plus that would be beneficial too.
