    Griots Garage ceramic glass cleaner

    Application is no a strong suit of any of the Griots products. CSS definitely needs more elbow grease than regular speed shine.

    Their are definitely alot of Sio2 sealants that apply easier than 3-1. People seem to have problems removing the glass cleaner. The all seem to be a bit tacky.

    If your gonna use on glass though this is half the price of CSS. Makes more sense. Of the 3 I find CSS the least impressive due to price.

    The only reason I would recommend would be if you used 3-1 as your LSP.

    3-1 is the best of the bunch and for inexpensive Sio2 sealant class (under $30) i find it is a great sheeter and mediocre beading with solid longevity. It’s family members have potential but there warts also.

    Hopefully the krinkle towels help for removing.

    Re: Griots Garage ceramic glass cleaner

    So tried this with the Griots Crinkle glass towels…..

    1st vehicle got foamed with Bit Hamber AF and then a waterless with Ech20. This hadn’t been washed in 3-4 weeks and still had brine on it from what ever the use to melt the Snow in WA.


    I did foam rinse and then Ech20 windows. The still had a filim on them so was just gonna hit them with Clarify and a normal glass towel and then i remembered i still had yet to use theses towels.

    GCG cleaner normally is grabby and is ok at cleaning.

    Wasn’t expecting much. Towels glided over glass and film was removed to my surprise.

    Did all glass crinkle side and then followed up smooth side. Like butter.

    Wasn’t gonna do inside but decided to after this experience. Again like butter.

    I thought maybe my great experience was to due to pre cleaning ……decided to clean a window on the Camaro as it hadn’t been washed in 10 days and sit outside the last 7 at the dealership.


    Same thing. No grabbiness and a clean and protected window.

    Haven’t used CarPro’s GT but this towel is FAR superior to anything that I have used and better rhan there standard glass PFM.

    I believe these towels will be to glass what regular PFM’s were to paint…… GAMECHANGER!

    Guess I’ll have to pick up some Griot’s CGTs to go with the CGC. Thanks for the review!

    Glad to see it wasn't just me. Only thing that isn't great versus the PFM dual weave is that they're thin so they get saturated pretty easily but you can refold them and use a different part of the towel if need be.

    So i don’t think i’ve re applied or topped up since stRting this thread and stuffs performing pretty well.

    I only applied to passenger side window of the camaro when testing the crinkle on the Rav4.

    Pretty impressed it’s still there. 2months later

    Re: Griots Garage ceramic glass cleaner

    I just had a chance to see the sheeting action of GGCGC yesterday as I didn’t use my wipers leaving the neighborhood and as I got up to 40 or so, the water sheeted right off the windshield and side window. Pretty impressive, especially for the ease of application. It is better than the BF GlassPro Costing I used on several vehicles where I did tons of prep prior and multiple ways of preparing to get a better result but no dice.

    Now to get those Crinkle towels you’ve been gushing about.

    I purchased some "crinkles" last fall at a show and have been happy with them. They were giving out samples of the ceramic glass cleaner at an auction last week. I'm liking that too... very smooth.

    I almost forgot about those tiny PFM glass towels. Too small, my hand rolled off them. I now use them for spot bird dropping pickup towels.
