Default Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax
Tried the Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax today, I did notice a slight difference in shine. I do keep my finish up quite often. Did a test with the current detail I had on and the Griots.

Put a strip of masking tape to delineate between old and new. Some may or may not notice the difference between the two, if you see the darker shinier, that would be the 3 in 1.

Just as easy to use as any other detail product. Will stick with this for a while.

Before applying this product, did you strip off any previous treatment?

I really didn't have any treatments on it except the various detail stuff these past 4 years. Will pull out in the sun later to see if there was any streaking I couldn't see in the garage light.

Yes, that one. It is nice, but beyond my budget.

I would be very cautious about putting a thin, beautiful, even coat of poly acrylic on your paint. All plastic breaks down in UV light and you’re stuck with its remnants. They WANT you to keep one step ahead by continually re-applying more layers but it will catch up sooner or later.
Also, I love how some will misuse the product term “ceramic”. Ceramic is a naturally occurring earthen-based product. Bricks or ceramic floors, statues, etc. pretty scratchy stuff, ceramics. Weird association with a paint protectant application that you hope has the exact opposite end effect of an abrasive.

Thank you for that informative information. I will keep that under consideration.
