Guessing that should have been CSS, not CCS.

Going to use 3-1 for the first time. Previously used meguiars polish and wax, last was about 3 months ago.

Should I do anything besides wash and dry before using 3-1?

It will work if you just wash/dry/apply but to get longest durability they probably recommend you at least clay the paint but personally if there’s clay involved there’s also polishing going to happen.

You’ll be fine with just wash and dry, worst case scenario you get about 3 or 4 months instead of 6. Just reapply each quarter of the year.

I quite like this stuff. For a spray wax that can be used as a drying aide the protection is tops IMO. Its lasted longer than any Caranuba wax ive ever used, and longer than most sealants. my only complaint is that the depth of gloss doesnt match a car with a good caranuba wax.

It's definitely one of the most durable spray sealants you can buy for the $ and in some cases is better than some of the pricier boutique brands.

Griot's didn't have the manufacturing capability to make an Sio2 spray, so they invested in the equipment and delivered a good product.

Did anyone else that has used 3 in 1 notice that the water behavior didn't produce very tight beads compared to other similar products? While durability is top notch, when I had used 3 in 1 it never produced the real tight beading you see of higher end products, or even HCD for that matter.

The 3 in1 product does a fantastic job though at sheeting water. That I did notice.
