Griot’s Garage Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax, SiO2 Spray for Cars, Trucks, and RV’s, Provides Protection and Water Beading on Paint, Wheels, Plastic, Rubber Trim, Chrome, and More, 10978,… by Griot’s Garage

Easy to apply leaving no residue. Shine is extremely good. If your vehicle’s paint is in excellent shape, waxed, this Griot’s will add a “pop” to your vehicle’s exterior shine. Good stuff. Price not bad either. Longevity of shine enhancement, if it’s until my 90 day later prevEinterbwax, I’m good.
I’m convinced the Griot’s will hold both it’s gloss and the one previously laid by hand waxing my vehicles with at least one higher end (Chemical Guys Banana wax) wax.

I can’t tell you guys it is good or bad. But i assure you that I didn’t put wax on my car that well. Someone who has experience or professional can do it well. I watched video a lot. But still made a mistake and whole car has wax spot.. ( when i was doing it. I didn’t have enough light and that was at night) so it is what it is.)

I have used several products from ceramic waxes to polymer seal and so far I liked the ceramics much more that the polymer seals. In my opinion the polymers depending on the color of your car, sometimes you can see a layer of a cloudy “I guess polymer protection”. The ceramics are just very clear and it enhances the evenness on the paint making it very reflective and shinny. As far as comparing the Griot’s Garage 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax with others that I have used, below are some of the pros and cons I have observed.
PROS
1- Easy to apply – Having said that I have to say that I use an applicator because using the sprayer directly on the car does not allow you to control the area that you are applying.
2- It is very hydrophobic.
3- It is very Reflective
4- Helps keep the car clean and look clean for longer.
5-If you have high spots you can use the moist applicator and apply on the high spot area again and it will soften the already dry high spot allowing you to remove it. (the sooner you detect that high spot the better)
6-Price is extremely reasonable especially when you take in consideration the small amount that you will need to provide great protection to your car once every 6 to 12 months.
CONS
1- In my opinion it does not provide as much filler effect and or depth as others like (Chemical Guys Hydro Charge.) NOTE: I have gotten the best of both by applying Hydro Charge as a base and then Griot’s as the top coat and it looks and works great.
2-The beading is very very tight and it works great getting rid of water off of vertical panels but it does not sheet off flat panels like the hood or roof. This creates temporary water spots that will come off on your next wash.
3- It is not as smooth to the touch as other products like toppers but I do not see that lack of smoothness preventing it from doing its job.

OKay…two cars done within 4 days of each other. this and Wolfgang SIO2 sealant. Both cars were washed and clay barred first. I would say they are both beading nicely 3 weeks later in a 3 inch rainstorm. I will say that the Griots water beads..some of them are a little bit larger (less effective???) than the Wolfgang. I am going to say that appearance wise Griot’s is at least 90% as effective at beading as Wolfgang. However, I am knocking it down 1 because the Griot’s is a little more difficult to apply. It’s difficult to keep the spray where you want it and G. says you must clean up over spray immediately. So, I found using a small applicator sponge was more effective. G says to do a small section at a time and buff it off and don’t let it day. Whereas WG’s is applied by sponge to small sections at a time on the whole car, you let it stand for 20 min or so then you wipe off the haze. This is faster and easier than doing one small section at a time. So a 4 for Griots but it does an acceptable job

It streaks a little, but I use my power buffer with the wall pad and it came out beautiful
