I wanted something more durable and permanent. I was going to use Cquartz Dlux or Solution Finish, but easy availability lead me to the Griot's. All of the aforementioned products are great, so this isn't a comparison.

I cleaned the car, then wiped the plastic trim with a 50/50 IPA mix.

Looks good. I was curious about the product. How is the BISON doing?

I love it. Only has a little over 3k miles on it. Took it off-road this weekend. Very happy with it.

So overall were you happy with the wipes and recommend them? My girlfriend's mom just got a Mazda CX-30 so I was considering these (probably the non-Griot's branded Cerakote wipes).

100% recommend them. Readily available, inexpensive. Just make sure the plastic is extremely clean before application. Also, if you get the Cerakote brand, I'd go with the Satin finish. The Griot's version (made by Cerakote for Griot's) is the glossy.

I got tired of dealing with water/silicone based exterior trim "dressings". Just not worth the hassle and they wash off far too easily.

I used the Cerakote, I didn’t say glossy or satin on bag. Did a quick search and couldn’t find a satin kit online or their site.

Liked the look and ease of use.

Yeah you're right maybe they don't make the satin anymore.

I’ve seen pictures of the small sachets that say satin on them but haven’t been able to find [emoji20]

I have tried both the Griot's and the Cerakote's and unless I'm mistaken, they are the same product, but the Cerakote's are less expensive.

After looking I’m coming up with them both being the same price at around 19.99, and with AG’s sales griots on the cheaper side.

4 wipes in the Griot's kit vs 10 from Cerakote.
