My thoughts too. 3 in 1 is so easy to use, I'm not seeing what you would gain by mixing them. If the 3 in 1 is starting to fade, just apply more. If you're after the short term extra boost after a wash that's the whole purpose CSS was created. I might see mixing up some concoction if we were talking about a hard to use product or a QD with no protective abilities, but 3 in 1 is a super easy spray/wipe application and CSS seems to have some protection already built in.

3-1 every 3-4 months, CSS after maintenance washes in between has worked great for me

This was what I found as well. :dblthumb2:

I find 3-1 a tad grabby to remove and just recently used as a drying aid. Worked great.
I see no problem mixing a little 3-1 with CSS. Exactly what were doing when we mix up a batch of Merlins elixir.
Add 3-4oz 3-1 to CSS and try it as a drying aid. Report back with results.

This. I found it to be a bit grabby too and honestly Elixr had me thinking of adding 3-1 to CSS. Maybe its a bit grabby from me over applying it? Not buffing it soon enough?

Over applying with this stuff can be an issue but when I did it on a warmer day (70 degrees). My normal 1.5 sprays per panel wasn’t spreading well and didn’t want to over apply.
Next wash 2 sprays per panel as drying aid and work superbly. Nice gloss.

I wonder if Ceramic Speed Shine changes the water behavior at all when layering it on top of 3 in 1?

Not that I’ve noticed; adds slickness and longevity

This stuff has been on the '11 Camaro (1 coat) for a few days now. It wasn't this shiny when it was new...

I applied Griots 3 in 1 to the truck in June and then I have been topping it off with Ceramic Speed Shine after each bucket or rinseless wash. This is the result. I brought the truck to my little nephew’s birthday party and I got compliments from all of the dads.
Both the 3 in 1 and the Ceramic Speed Shine can be streaky especially on dark paint. I have found that a little product goes a long way and the type of towel you use makes a big difference. The Griots plush edgeless are very good for this task.
