Griots Garage ceramic glass cleaner

[Coatingsarecrack]

I really wanted to like this product but I am disappointed. I have many Griots products in my arsenal and I am generally a big fan. I have used their glass polishing and coating products of my vehicles and have been very happy with the results. I used the ceramic glass cleaner on the wife's Buick and I heard complaints after she drove home at night while it was raining. It left terrible streaks when she used the wipers to the point where she could not see. I ended up cleaning the glass with 0000 steel wool and I reapplied the Griots glass coating. Mama is happy now.

Had opposite experience recently. Tried to use glass sealant recently. Found out doesn’t work in under 50 degree weather, doesn’t dry/ haze.

Thought i removed all but streak like a MoFo when i went back out. Clayed, polished and applied CGS and no streaks.

That’s another major problem I have. I need this product most in fall and winter when when my garage temps usually run under 50. A glass sealant that last a month or two i cant apply in winter is just stupid.

The CGS worked fine under 50 degrees.

I'm surprised. Apex did a test and seemed decent.

Seems most of Apex products seem to have favorable reviews lately. I know he use to espouse how he buys the product but don’t remember seeing this recently. Maybe he’s going the paid promo route? Not sure…..

4 carwashes is a test?...I'm a BIG fan of Griots products, but this is one product I'll pass on.
Never been a fan of Apex tests...he rushes thing and never does durable tests over time......TIME.......TIME.......TIME.....is how to test

I agree. I don't put too much into any of the torture tests.

I remember back in the 80's they would light lighter fluid on fire on hoods as a test in commercials...LOL
pretty sure it will burn off on any surface and not cause an issue

Some of those sales-pitch guys still do it. I watched it happen after buying a product back in 2004. I didn't mind, it was so cheap I had planned to buy it anyway. But the lighter fluid trick made me want to ask for a refund

Refresh my memory on how that happened? It made for a sensational ad.

GG Ceramic Glass cleaner FLUNKED today!

Looked fine until I did the side of the car in the setting sun... all it did was smear around when trying to wipe it off. I went over it with a glass towel and the resprayed another glass cleaner on it to try to remove the film. I finally used a wet "magic towel" and dry towel. I then turned the vehicle around and cleaned the mess off that side.

It smeared all over the last time I used it but forgot the mess I saw driving into the morning sun.

This is what they claim the product will do..... This unique formula easily leaves behind a crystal clear, streak-free finish while adding hydrophobic and durable protection to all your glass surfaces

I tried the aerosol version of it and it cleaned well enough and has water beading, but i was dissapointed at how hard i had to work to get rid of all the streaks compared to my normal glass cleaner. I wonder if the spray is better than the aerosol .

IMO....CGC is a product that needs to go back to the drawing board......
