    Looks like Griot's Garage just came out with a new ceramic liquid wax. Anyone try it yet? I'm thinking of ordering some.

  2. Re: Anything new or worth considering LSP wise for 2024?

  6. Re: Which product do you still use by Chemical Guys?

    I am finishing up a gallon bottle of Inner Clean. It cleans decently and I like the pineapple-ish scent.

    Re: Easy to apply ceramic coating

    You are correct, I have no way of knowing. And I do not want to dry without a drying aid and risk scratching my paint to find out.

    I am basing it on hydrophobic properties after a rain as well...

    Re: Easy to apply ceramic coating

    I got over a year with Cancoat Evo on my wife's Honda Accord. It is parked outside 24/7. I wash it once every 2 weeks doing a rinseless wash with Absolute or ONR. I use Xtreme Solutions Topper as a...

    Re: Easy to apply ceramic coating

    If you are looking for an actual ceramic coating that is easy to apply, I would recommend Gyeon's Cancoat Evo. You don't have to wait for it to flash. You just wipe it on in a small section and then...

    Re: Spray Sealants - 3-6 months

    Hey, Mike. Thanks for recommending Armour Detail Supply Ceramic Spray. I applied it to my wife's Mustang MachE and the gloss is outstanding. Definitely glossier than the Griot's Garage 3-in-1 Wax...
  11. Re: Cheap/Cheaper/Economical Products in your stash

    If you need a ceramic detail spray, I highly recommend Technicians Choice Ceramic Detail Spray 582. You can buy a gallon of it for $35-$40. I plan to try Ech20 at the quick detailer dilution which...
  12. Re: Iron Decontamination on Plastic - PPF Staining

  13. Re: Iron Decontamination on Plastic - PPF Staining

    I have PPF on my car and have never felt like I needed to use an iron remover.

    That said, if you feel the need, this FAQ is on the Carpro website (manufacturer of IronX):

    "Is IronX safe to use...

  16. Re: Best way to protect a new car I just brought home with dealer-installed PPF?

    IMO, no need to do anything out of the ordinary, other than just make sure whatever products you use are PPF safe. For example, most water-based ceramic sealants I have used are PPF safe. For...

    Re: glaze

    I personally like using glazes on occasion. The advantage of a glaze is that, unlike a compound or polish, you remove little to no clear coat when you apply it. The disadvantage is that any...

    Re: Griots 3 in 1 not lasting?

    Since 3D Speed is an AIO that contains a wax sealant, maybe the freshly applied wax sealant in the 3D Speed was not completely removed by the Carpro Eraser. As a result, the GG 3-in-1 could not bond...
  21. Re: How do you get sap out of microfiber towel or wash mitt?

    I remember Mike Phillips once suggested that the best way to get rid of sap on a car is to place a dab of alcohol-based hand sanitizer on it. This enabled the alcohol to dwell on the sap for a longer...
