I might give it a wash this weekend and provide some more input.
No, I think you did it right
This will probably get my man card revoked but I actually read the instructions on the bottle and it says do a 2x2 section and wipe off immediately
My mindset is stuck on 3D Speed and letting it sit for a while for the Poxy component to cure
Apparently the Griot's doesn't require that waiting time
And thanks for the tip on where to find it as well

Re: Griots ceramic all in one
Saw a photo on the Facebook Autogeek group of a bottle of the Ceramic AIO that had separated. I went to check mine and it looked similar.
That's not what it looked like a month ago when I got it.
Also heard that the agreements that they have in place with retailers require product on shelf space previously agreed to or they face penalties to replace lost potential profits. So that's probably why it's not available from Griot's directly yet.

Griots ceramic all in one
That is EXACTLY what mine looked like off the shelf
And exactly what it looked like again 24 hours after I shook the hell out of it for a couple of minutes
Not sure having to do that each time or even for each application to a pad is going to work for me
I always do it anyway but nothing I have used in the last 15 years has separated to that degree either, especially in such a short amount of time

Re: Griots ceramic all in one
I just sent an email to Griot's with the picture posted above and asked them to comment on the situation
I will report back if I learn anything

Re: Griots ceramic all in one
Mine looked similar after a week in the basement.
Shook the hell out of it and it was back to 'normal' consistency.
Couple pics of the hood on my Edge that got a coating of the Ceramic AIO last weekend. Remainder of car has 3-in-1 that's 2, maybe 3 weeks old.
Not the greatest beading, but seems to sheet fairly well. It's a horizontal surface, so can't really judge the sheeting. I'd say it might be just a touch less beading than the 3-in-1 on the rest of the car. Still looks good.

I don’t want to break the inner seal and check in it because it’s going back to Hawaii in my luggage along with the Speed Shine
In double freezer bags of course

Vacuum seal it if you can…. Then in a freezer bag,

I was a little cheesed because the Ceramic Speed Detailing Spray came with the sprayer already installed and not with a plain screw on cap
Not sure I trust sending that at all
I am thinking it would be a better idea to leave what I bought here and just order more for Hawaii
My 4Runner needs a full correction and I think the Griot's Ceramic AIO and some Ceramic Spray wax would be great
But
I was back in storage today grabbing more stuff and my tote with my PC and pads was not with the rest of my stuff
There is also a lot of towels and some Optimum Hyper Compound and Polish "missing in action"
I have a sneaking suspicion my grandson "borrowed" them to work on the TT my wife gave him that he has subsequently wrecked twice
He mentioned something about that a while back
I texted him but no answer yet
I may not be doing any paint work for a while
Not a happy camper at the moment

OK, I heard back from Griot's and this is what they said

That would lead me to believe the bottles we are posting pictures of aren't the way it is supposed to be
I responded with my shipping info and will let you know what happens
Coincidentally there is a revived thread from last year that showed up today about individual bottles of their Perfecting Cream that were very watery

Thaaat's really frustrating. Hopefully when you get your things back they're still in the condition you left them, otherwise I'd be passing along a bill to the Grandson for all those stick-and-debris laden microfibers! (again, hopefully not the case, but you get worried when someone just borrows stuff without asking!)
