    I will tell you that the Griot's 3-in-1 is some tenacious stuff.

    I have gotten 3+ months out of it on a test section of my roof. And..... One application on my snow blower augers lasted through 4 snow storms.

    Could it be the Griot's (even in its waning days) was trying to "fight off" the OCW?
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I know one of OPTs claims to fame has always been the synergy between their products, although I have never seen their stuff not play well with others

    It is certainly possible that the Griot's is fighting it

    It would be interesting to see if you could apply a Griot's product equivalent to OCW over their 3 in 1 and see what happened

    I have zero experience with Griot's products

    I should have added the same vehicle in the same situation with the 3 and 1 in the same state of aging

    Just to see if it was an issue of something outside those variables, some contamination or something

    I would EXPECT their spray wax to play well with their 3 in 1

    Well, they have never seen fit to ship stuffs to Alaska or Hawaii by USPS Flat Rate

    They will only ship 2 day air and it's PRICEY

    I tried the other day after you suggested their Correcting products and $67 worth of stuff would be $50 to ship

    I know I can buy it at AG and Amazon these days but I have kind of held a grudge for years over their shipping policies

    Adams is the same way, free shipping over $100 in the CONTINENTAL US ONLY

    I just put a $39.99 gallon of soap in a cart and checked shipping, Fed Ex 2 day for $46.77

    Hard pass

    There are a whole lot of other companies that simply don't care about shipping to the places I live so I simply don't care to do business with them

    Sorry, climbing down off my soap box now...

    I was just kidding.

    I feel your pain with the shipping, and I don't blame you one bit.

    I know you were kidding and I also know you are a big fan of their products and you frequently recommend the BOSS creams

    I see enough top tier detailers use the BOSS correcting cream to know it's gotta be good stuff

    I don't take any offense at all from your suggestions

    Regards

    Michael
