Griot's GarageCeramic Wash and Coat for All Car Exterior Surfaces, Lubricant Rich, Provides Durable Car Paint Protection, 10885, 48oz

The ceramic leaves a nice smooth finish, must wipe dry fast. Do a small section at a time

I have to say this is another excellent Griot's Garage product. I use it on my F150 and Expedition Max. I use it out of a foam cannon and during a bucket wash and it worked great in both instances. I wanted a good protectant that didn't take a lot of time. Don't expect a lot of foam, which is fine, it still works great to move dirt off the trucks. I foam it on, rinse it off and foam it on again. I notice it lasts a good long time, I went for like 9 weeks on the F150 and I still noticed water beading.

As a soap this product is not the best so I took a star for that. The foam is thin and the lubricity is poor, but as a light weight ceramic coating it's extreamly easy to apply, looks great, and lasts longer than it should. I'm using Koch-Chemie GSF to do the actual washing of the car, then use a foam cannon to apply the Griot's and just rinse off after letting it dwell for a couple of minutes. The shine and water beading are very good. Four months with the car always outside and it looks good and still beading. If all I have to do is wash my car and hose it down with this stuff every few months to keep it looking this good, I see no reason to use anything else. If you are hard core this would make a great topper for a traditional ceramic coating. Just don't use it in the direct sunlight or let it dry at all or it will streak.

I use this as a second wash after washing my car which is ceramic coated. I spray this on with a foam cannon and let it sit about 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off. It seems to make my ceramic coating last longer. I have a one year coating on that is going on 18 months old and still looks fabulous.

GMC 3500 LWB, I have to wash and rinse ea panel on black truck to keep product from drying in sun and heat, other than that works pretty good. A lot better and cost effective than another brand spray on ceramic coating I tried at $48/bottle. I've been really pleased with this brand of products so far. I also use the spray on wax on an airplane, that's good stuff as well.

I bought this product because I am a fan of Griot’s. However I must say I am disappointed. The car just went through a snow storm the other day so it was really dirty. Using my foam canon made very little foam and did not stick tot he car. I always use a microfiber mitt and bucket with more product in the bucket to go over the car after the initial spray. After cleaning the car and drying it I noticed streaking on the paint and then, upon a closer look there was still a film of dirt on the car, sort of like when you go through a touch less car wash. This product might work better on not so dirty cars, but if your car is filthy maybe look for another soap.

This product left streaks in the ceramic coating. It normally takes ab 45 mins to wash our suv, it took almost 2 hrs, because we had to use a wax to remove the streaks. We have used this brand before and it was good, however we have never used this particular item. We will not be purchasing this product again.

I bought Griot's Ceramic Wash & Coat for my 1971 Ford Maverick Grabber. I had treated it with their 3-in-1 Ceramic last summer and was looking for a wash that would help maintain it. The Maverick was still in the shop when the order arrived so I tried it on our daily drivers and work vehicles. This was my first time using a ceramic wash. I was surprised by how low suds it was. For the dirtier working vehicles I had to change the wash water once while washing, the water got dirty fast and I found myself washing with dirty water. It made me wonder if other products I used were not removing as much dirt. The hydrophobic beading is instantaneous. These were vehicles that did not have a layer of ceramic coat. Weeks later in the Western Washington rain they are still beading and seem to stay cleaner. My Maverick came home from the shop and the first thing I did was wash her with the ceramic wash and coat. Only had to use one bucket as that car is kept really clean. The water beaded right up, no streaking when I dried it. The wash smells as good as the 3-in-1. I'll be buying more now that I'm using it on all the cars, not just the special one.

I used this product in my foam gun attachment on my pressure washer. My Audi is ceramic coated and the Ceramic wash & coat was awesome/ I use a leaf blower to dry my car right after washing it and the car looked perfect, no water spots and a great shine.

Great for maintaining ceramic finish
