Griots Surface prep wash

[Bill1234]

Needed a strip wash and found griots basically checked alot of hypothetical boxes so went with it from autopia. I most likely will be using 10:1 as directed in a foam cannon. Just want to know if anyone had experiences with it. Does it strip easy? How long did you wait? Did you follow up with a 2 bucket wash or went straight to iron decon?

Why did you buy it from them when Autogeek sells it?

It didn’t work for me. It streaked every time.

I have alot of experience with it, been through 2 bottles of it since it basically came out. On my coated car it makes the paint bead like crazy, so it cleans VERY well, leaving the surface C L E A N. I'm not sure what the pH is but as stated it's to be used to strip clean lesser products so you can add something new or use it in the early process of a full detail.

I'd use this as the pre-wash, inspect your paint to determine how much decon is needed, maybe both and then paint correction and finally an LSP.

Now on my own car I'd follow up with a topper of my chosing and I've even used Griot's Garage surface wash next and then Poly Gloss for the triple play

Can't argue with Roger's results.

His car always looks stunning.

Autopia is the same parent company as Autogeek.

Well in my old CG's foam gun I'd just fill it to the line and add water but in my IK 1.5 I think I added 2-3 ounces and topped with water. I thought this worked best since the foam gun was more watery while the IK 1.5 produces a thicker foam

I really do like all 3 products from Griot's here I'm not someone who puts a priority on smell but the Surface wash smells like pinacolada, Poly Gloss is strawberries and Prep is just a cleaner smell, all enjoyable to deal with

The Surface Wash and PolyGloss work great for me. I’ve been using them since they first came out, along with the original Griots foam gun. The Surface Prep doesn’t play well with my FK1000p. So be it, no big deal. However, I won’t buy it again.
