Griots 3-1 Cermaic wax

So would you say this is a better topper to use on a ceramic coat vs “traditional” SiO2 toppers like Reload? I’m currently using Reload on my maintenance washes as topper over my ceramic coat, but would like something a little bit more durable.

My GLI is coated with CQuartz TiO2 and I recently used GG 3-1 as a topper for it as I used up my small bottle of reload. It definitely amped up the gloss, but it's a pretty thick product and not something to be used every wash. The water behavior still acts like a fresh coating afterwards. It's about due for another wash as it's been parked outside for a week while I was working on my other vehicle in the garage, but it seems to have survived a Reset wash once so far. Still feels really slick to the touch.

Yeah that’s what I had used it for and if spending less than $30 for me it’s thr best maintenance product.

Of any price i’m a fan of Polish Angel products (not sold on AG).

Gyeon wax in it’s initial month has been stellar. I have not used as a topper yet but that’s what it was made for.

When you say “thick product”, are you saying it’s hard to wipe off and leaves streaks? I have Black car and I know Reload gives streaks if I’m not careful with amount used (especially on black cars). Is this product even more difficult to use?

I used it on a black car with no problem.

Just remember a little goes along way. 2-3 sprays per panel 4-5 on hood and roof. Wipe down with ine MF cloth and buff with another. Was pretty easy to use.

Sure have! Pro4x started a thread of this product a few months back. I really like the product. Not worth it in a foam gun.

Also ive noticed you can use tgis product every third wash and still reap the benefits of it. Kind of a waste to use every wash.

Beware suds are non existent no matter how much product you dump in the bucket lol. Dilute as directed.
 
Nice. The wash plus 3 in 1 spray seems like a nice combo.
 
I just got my first bottle of GG 3-in-1 Wax. Is this a wipe-on, wipe-off product, or should you wipe it on, let it haze, and then wipe off? If you don't wipe it off right away, how long do you let it sit on the paint before wiping it off? I plan to apply it in the shade in 65 degree temp.

Thank you,

Wipe on, wipe off. It's extremely easy to apply. Easier than Turtle Wax Seal N Shine IMO. Both work well. Can be used on glass/plastics as well.
 
Hi there, how is the longevity of 3-1 Ceramic wax? I plan to use this on a customer's car with one application and I want to give a fair estimate how long the sealant lasts. Thanks!

I have had good durability, but granted my car is garaged. I've seen 4-6 months.
 
My car also garaged. In rainy season in NorthWest I got 3 months.

Longevity is subjective to your client’s weather, environment, what’s in their area’s traffic film....

Also some will call it done when it is 80% still their some may see the very last traces of protection....

I would give a range of 3-5 months myself.

These products, under the best conditions, usually only last 6 months at best.
 
Thanks everyone for the feedback! As a quick wash clay and wax, 4 months is good for me.

Griot's did last quite a long time (in one case over 1.5 years) on a youtube comparison I've seen. I think 3 in 1 and Megs HCW lasted longer than lots of ceramic coatings even. Perhaps a fluke, but their strong performance -- at least half a year and often well over a year in various tests on a truck panel left outside 24/7 seemed impressive.

Granted, but better a test I can see than all the endorsements by professionals and amateurs based on vague comparisons I can neither see, nor verify on the forum. Especially when touting high priced brands.

I don’t believe ceramic 3-1 has been out a year....
