Saw on their IG page a new Ceramic All In One. So far their SEMA products don’t look that interesting. Ceramic glass cleaner? Meh this is where companies start to lose me.

Just to be clear is this a ceramic all-in-one Polish?

It does look like a polish/ceramic wax. Could be good for correction and a ceramic base. They did say it won't be in stock until Jan 1 so we have some time to hear more about it.
 
I sure hope that isn't all they introduce......

Well it looks like there's 6 new products in my catalog. That said, to be fair, they've released alot of new products within the past year

I really don't mind if they don't flood their catalog with new stuff.

If you just keep adding products, you stand to increase your overlap of what products do what job. I've already see people complain about this; an example would be that they have multiple quick detailers.
[As a fan of the brand, I'd argue there's a purpose behind their lineup - they've got one that's your bread and butter QD (Speed Shine), a sun safe QD (Best of Show Detailer), and a Ceramic option (Ceramic Speed Shine),]

I do wonder what happened to their Paint Prep that I saw on a shelf during one of their SEMA videos last year or two years ago - I think it was labeled something like "Foaming Paint Prep" or similar (No, it wasn't the Foaming Surface Prep, that was already out). I wouldn't mind seeing them bring a product like that back out. In my mind a Paint Prep serves differently than the Foaming Surace Prep, and they currently don't offer one.
 
I'm not talking about overlap...I'm talking a product that has not been invented yet...ground breaking technology

What are you looking for from Griot's Garage exactly

Not calling you out with this but they'll never be Adam's with multiple soaps for instance that create overlap

If I knew it would be easy......I'm talking something that hasn't been invented........magic. holy chit type of product.
Maybe I'm out of bounds, but in a modern world I don't rule ANYTHING out when it comes to technology..

Nah your good man

Griots Garage never jumps on trends, I mean we're talking ceramics here while others are on to graphene (which is ceramic based).

As far as ground breaking, who knows who's going to drop the next miracle, stay "tuned".

From what I gather....Griots has always hung back and then refined whatever the latest product to come out and make it better.
I don't think they are trend setters....

Nick Griot could always create a toupee and mustache polishing kit.:dblthumb2:
 
Everything I've used from Griot's was really good. Soap was the only thing I though was just ok.

I don't think Griot's is excessive like some of the other brands. Pretty conservative line.

I'm surprised they don't have a paint prep.

They had one, but they discontinued it a while back - not sure why (never looked into it). It strikes me that it was a little different than the alcohol based ones that are the norm now; I if I remember right you could either wipe it dry with a towel or rinse the area when you were done.

Actually, thinking back to their old "Machine Polish" days (Pre BOSS line/Complete Compound/Polish), they also had a Pre Wax Cleanser - all I remember from the bottle was that it was citrus based. Smelled good, and worked great to help get the old polishes wiped off.

Every once in a while I still think about taking a trip down memory lane and breaking out my bottle of Machine Polish 3 and seeing how it works with what I've learned since I started detailing...

I'm fine if they're not running on the bleeding edge of detailing products - the biggest thing I like about Griot's is how everything I use from them is sooo easy to work with. I have limited time for garage therapy, and it takes the fun out of it if you're stressing about grabbiness/flashing/etc.

Was excited for a second as i thought those small black extensions were ceramic bottles.

The Ceramic AIO will probably be like there 3-1 liquid wax with some ceramic in it. Probably a good base for there ceramic 3-1 wax but not for a coating.

I’m not sure what to think of all the Ceramic products there throwing out. The 3-1 ceramic wax was a ground breaking new product but everyrhing else just seems to be a old product with some green ceramic thrown in.

The Ceramic Speedshine is great but I can tell no difference to the original which was and still is a awesome detailer.

Yeah kind of disappointing to be honest. I was expecting a new sealant, spray or wax (maybe a new Poly Wax but with Sio2?) ...something like Gyeon Wax. Not this year.

I haven't used their latest waxes in a while but they've got their premium wax and I'm sure it's good! I remember when they had their 33% carnuba wax in a deodorant like stick too

Sometimes the best move is no move
