Looking for input on an lsp. I’m not going the coating route just yet. This is for my dd, a 2020 Honda passport in grey. Car gets driven 60 or so miles daily, is garaged, and I try to wash it weekly.

Looking for decent durability, something that has good water behavior and dirt shedding, and frankly I am looking for ease of use. Having two young boys takes up a lot of my time. Lol

id like a drying aid/booster suggestion as well, as I really do like using something at every wash.

the griots 3 in 1 has definitely caught my eye, so thoughts on that are appreciated as well.

fire away. Thanks.
 
Griot's 3 in 1. It does everything at a pretty high level. You can get bump up the hydrophobic quality of it by going a tad heavier with it, on well prepped paint. Strip whatever was on it for max durability, including what the polish leaves behind.

Made in the US too, in-house. You'd be hard pressed to find something better.

This was recently applied and for the first time applied heavier than before. Most of the independent YT testing shows it outlasts most of the comparable products as well.

Griots Garage 3 in 1 is a great base product, no doubt about itThere's also their Ceramic Wash to do those weekly washes, works great in a foam gun for pre-wash, if it's dusty it should be able to do spray/dwell/rinse and dry, haven't used it as a soap during a 2BM though but keep in mind this is NOT going to foam as much as it's got ceramic protection in it. Finally the Griot's Garage Ceramic Speed Shine as a drying aid (if you don't use their Ceramic Wash) is an option and when the truck is just a little dusty. While we're talking Griot's Garage they have GREAT towels for drying the truck, applying Ceramic Speed Shine, etc.

Yeah, I like Griot's Garage as I've been a customer since 2005

303 graphene 2x year followed by car pro elixr 4x year- very happy with this combo, car looks like it’s under glass all the time.
 
There's so much good and GREAT out there right now

Great example was this morning at C&C. My buddy Hectour brought his DD, a Fiesta ST, in black, out to the meet. It was detailed by him and another buddy of ours months ago. This car is outside 24/7 and can go 2 weeks w/o a wash at times. So yesterday he used TWHS ceramic wash and TWHS Wet Wax as a drying aid and when he pulled in I swore he detailed the car, it looked THAT great

Here's a pic he took after C&C somewhere:

I think the TW ice seal & shine would work nicely for you
1) Its inexpensive, around $10 per
2) You can get it anywhere ( Wally world, auto zone etc.. ) & dont have to order / wait on it
3) Easy & fast application and pretty good durability
4) If you try it and dont like it- you have nothing into it ( compared to most everything out there )
 
No arguments here but don't sleep on the ICE wax either To keep them fresh wash with the TWHS ceramic wash and use that same ICE spray wax as a drying aid every other week for the "always fresh look"

Yeah-- its hard to beat the new TW line of products for value and convenience. There are boutique products out there that are better but for the average Joe and your DD -- its hard to beat-- real hard
 
Based upon your desire for "Looking for decent durability, something that has good water behavior and dirt shedding," I'd suggest you use FK-1000 for your LSP and then the TW products for drying aid and spiffer-uppers.
Fk-1000 gives great protection, it's easy on-easy off, and lasts so you'll have time for your boys.
Good luck whatever you choose.
 
I would recommend Wofgang or Adams Spray coatings. Not as stout as a cwramic coating or coating lite product.

Easy to use and ggod durability. Better self cleaning (at least the Adam’s i used) than any sealant or Sio2 spray rhatci’ve used.

Check them out and if not your thing i’d go Griots.

I had good experiences with Megs Hybrid Ceramic Wax. Looked good and had decent durability.

Carpro hydro2 Lite was also good.

Both very easy to use and ‘spray as you rinse’ type products.

3D Bead It Up is one of my personal favorites in that category.

I've been using Optimum Car Wax and Opti-Seal, but need to test it over the winter. The 3D did a great job.

Opti-Seal only lasted 2.5 weeks for me.

I did use the BF on her Escape a few weeks ago. Very easy to use and the results were great!

I was thinking of ordering some of the BF SiO2 Spray Sealant. I noticed that it is much more cost effective to buy the gallon than the 32 ounce bottle. But it would take me a long time to go through a gallon bottle. What is the shelf life of this sealant? I know certain sealants like IGL Premiere say they are supposed to be used within 6 months of opening the bottle. Does the BF sealant have a limit on how long it is good for, or can it sit on my garage shelf indefinitely?

Thank you,

Nothing is forever, however if it’s a solution like blackfire SaO2 or some of their other products and not an emulsion where stuff is suspended in a solvent, it’ll last longer than you will, if kept in your air-conditioned home and not the garage.

I also use 3D Bead it Up.
Easy on and off, great hydrophobics lasts and has a super warm glow.

Use it on top of CSL/EXO.
