Griots 3-1 Cermaic wax

Cold temps mentioned. Maybe no bond because temps too low??

Can this product effectively replace the Blue Griots "Best of Show" finish spray I have used for years??
 
Just wipe it down with Isopropyl to remove grease , lubricants, surfactants etc. Takes 5 minutes and as I learned, even with the sprays, it is a mandatory step after any type of correction, or in your case, a new car. Gyeon prep for example.

Griots 3in 1 will become my new Griots Best in show. Almost as easy. Just use a second towel to final buff. It does make a difference.
 
Other than the ceramic part is there a difference between BF One Step and Griots 3-1?

Griot's ceramic all-in-one would be the more comparable product to BF One Step. 3in1 doesn't have any correction ability.

That's six months with 3 in 1? Is it boosted with anything?

Interesting. I applied 3 in 1 to my car the last week of January to protect it until I could apply a coating this spring. I washed the car yesterday and after I was done I noticed 0 beading, 0 sheeting. Nada. Nothing. Water just sat on the paint like it was stuck there. Drying was not fun.

It matches my expectations of a normal spray sealant, but I was hoping for better.

Ive had great luck with 3and one, also TW Seal and Shine. I think that they are the the 2 best spray sealants.
 
No, and now having used both Gyeon Can Coat Evo and the Griots ceramic 3 in 1, there is no comparison. The Gyeon is a VASTLY superior product with the same effort required to apply. I did a have water spotting issue with it one time but that came off with the following wash. I had washed car, came in to eat, went out to dry but it had partially dried already. My bad.

I recently spoke directly to Griots about Best in Show v The 3 in 1. 3 in 1 IS NOT a replacement and is not designed for routine touchup use. Therefore, I won't bother with it again. Decent product but the Gyeon is SO much better! The missing link in my SiO2 conversion will be a Ceramic quickie detailer to replace my Best n Show. Something that removes light dust and pollen quickly whilst giving that final tweek to the finish that is nice and slippery. BTW, the 3 in 1 does not feel very slippery if that's your thing.

I'd love to add a pic but the upload function is screwed up

This is the best answer.

In addition to doing the things mentioned, it also has a light cleaning ability so it works great for things like removal of bird droppings and random smudges and sticky fingerprints. It's really economical at QD dilutions and you can also mix it to higher ratios for waterless washes too.
 
I haven’t tried 3-1 wax yet and I have a question

Everything I have seen says apply to a dry surface

Has anyone tried it wet like TWWW or other “drying aids”

Just curious

I have not.

But I doubt it would be "better".

Even DG "AquaWax" works better as a wipe on/off product IMO.

Paul

I have seen spray on to a panel, wipe off, and buff

or

Spray onto a towel or applicator, wipe on, then wipe off with a second towel and buff

Either of those “better”

Thoughts?

I’ve tried as a drying aid and worked well but did need to add a final buff due to some streaks.

Myself, I will just quickly and very lightly spray the panel then wipe & buff.

Thanks Paul

I asked because the very best way I found to apply Megs Ceramic Wax was totally off label so I was wondering if you guys had some tricks up your sleeve on this product

I am not comparing the 2

Just thinking out loud

Cheers

lol

It’s no secret, it’s from Brian at Apex

Roger (Klasse) told me about it at just about the same time

It’s simply slightly dampening a microfiber applicator and spraying just a couple of small sprays on the applicator and then wiping it on dry clean paint like it was wax

Do a quarter of a panel and then wipe and buff

The water on the applicator makes it do it’s thing, a catalyst so to speak I guess

I have done this on paint and wheels and it works great and uses barely any product

There were so many stories from guys using an entire bottle for an initial application that somebody figured out a better way

Part of the story is how absolutely terrible the instructions are on the bottle unless they changed them

For follow up on wheels I used it cut 1:2 with DI water misted on and rinsed off (also from Klasse)

I know Megs came out after the fact and talked about an initial application by a similar method rather than starting out with hosing down your car with product and then rinsing it off

They added an updated or extra video ad well covering the need for an initial base coat so to speak

I think it’s a good but very misunderstood product

Now that I have a bottle of Griots Ceramic AIO and some of their ceramic speed detailing spray I figured I would heed the advice you have tried to pound into my thick head and go Griots

Yes, I’m coming out of the closet…

Well don't take my word over Roger's. (Klasse)

He'll drive out here to LI, kick my a$$, and make me reimburse him for the tolls. (Both ways). ;)

He’s too busy getting ready to drive the dragon’s spine or tail or mullet or whatever that drive is called
