Wasn't sure if the Griots would act like Elixr or Cure. From the pictures, it reminds me more of Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax than Cure or Elixr.
I would expect that GG 3-1 has tighter beading on top of a coating, like most coating toppers. Standalone they usually are not as good as coatings. Hopefully on top of coatings they are providing beading close to the base coating.

So when topping a coating i’ve notice most enhance the traits of the coating not mask it.
And yes when I topped My coating performed the same but when i applied to my hood (non coated) it performed like most sio2 toppers. Performed better than Elixer and Cure on bare paint to me.

I dont believe SNS has Sio2. Didn’t see it on SDS. I believe that is major difference to Hybrid Solutions line... addition of Sio2

Agree, no SiO2 or ‘ceramic’-anything in SNS.

Like Coatings=crack, I had only dealt with the original SNS which I recalled didn’t have SiO2. My bad, forgetting that they updated it.

So would you say this is a better topper to use on a ceramic coat vs “traditional” SiO2 toppers like Reload? I’m currently using Reload on my maintenance washes as topper over my ceramic coat, but would like something a little bit more durable.

Yeah that’s what I had used it for and if spending less than $30 for me it’s thr best maintenance product.
Of any price i’m a fan of Polish Angel products (not sold on AG).
Gyeon wax in it’s initial month has been stellar. I have not used as a topper yet but that’s what it was made for.
