Is Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic Spray Wax still viable?

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Looking to try something else this year. Coatings see out for me as I have no garage and the whole just stay dry for 12 hours kills it. We all get dew on the paint of the cars are left out, so yeah.

Last year I used the 3 in 1 and was decently happy with it. But wondering if that’s still considered the best longevity wise and looks wise.

I do like that it’s easy to apply, for the most part, doesn’t stain trim etc.

But things are always changing and I regretfully don’t keep up on the new stuff anymore, so I’m at a loss.

Thanks!!

I honestly wasn' that impressed with it. The looks were pretty good, but the beading wasn't all that great. Not very coating or sealant like. I'm not a spray sealant person, but was pleasantly surprised when using the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. it isn't really a coating, but it is a pretty durable spray sealant.

The Meguiars hybrid paint coating seems to get positive comments.

The main strength of 3 in 1 is its unusually high durability, especially for a spray product. Everything else about the product is average to me. The beading is average with a contact angle of only 100 per Griot's. There are so many products out there you really can't go wrong with any of them.

Two that are on my radar lately are Shine Supply Clutch and Koch Chemie S0.02.

You could also consider Can Coat Evo which will outlast any of these.

If you have the urge to try something new, give TWHS Spray coating a look. Been using it for years now with no complaints.

Follow it up with their wet wax as your drying aid to maintain it. Love this combo.

Wouldn’t the 3-1 ceramic detailed from the same line up match it?

[PA DETAILER]

Their 3-1 detailer is more of a waterless wash. But can also be used on dry paint between washes. The wet wax is designed to be used on wet surfaces after washing. Then dry with a MF towel as usual.

Is there a spray wax or something similar, like ceramic speed shine

[PA DETAILER]

They don't have a dedicated spray wax. In theory, the wet wax or 3-1 detailer could be used on a dry vehicle for this purpose.

I would add 1-2oz of 3-1 to Ceramic Speed shine as a maintenance topper.

3-1 looks good. Good longevity for a spray and wipe product. Beading is meh.
