Griot’s Garage Ceramic All-in-One Wax 10895

This goes on quickly with the random orbital and is easy to wipe off after application. In the harsh Texas sun, it seems to need doing at least twice a year but it’s time well spent to protect your car.

It’s not the most top shelf ceramic, but it is easy to apply, smells great, cleans up nicely and leaves a slick and rich finish. The micropolish claims are a bit dubious. I applied it with a DA. It doesn’t really do much in polishing. Maybe at best a homeopathic amount of polishing. Its in theory a one step, but just look at it as a liquid sealer / glaze. It coordinates nicely with their 3 in 1 spray too. Don’t bank in much polishing. Maybe with 6-8 passes on a DA, but I didn’t spend that much time. I gave it 4 on a polishing pad.

Ok so right off the bat, and shelf, Griots delivers a 1 step easy to understand and use ceramic. It gave show car luster and big depth meant to be appreciated and not so much a pop wow like an overly shiny spray and wipe. It’s still very glossy too, but maintains that traditional freshly waxed look. Very nice on metallics.

It was simple to use though just my opinion, it seemed to need more product vs less, and although it applied super easy, it does not slide for days.

For cut and and polish, they clearly had to find a proper balance and for the most part it’s fine especially to get some quick results. But it loses a star here because of its inability to cut generally. I think it’s designed for a super novice to get close to pro results. And you will.

But, even with an orange foam on a fantastically maintained but not ceramic coated white metallic suv, had to keep upping pad as I didn’t want to be so aggressive due to it not being so slippery. It is super safe so even on bare minimum correction cars, I found you had to be quite aggressive, odd because there wasn’t much going on with the vehicle it appeared generally great (I use Adam’s strip wash, find it perfect but isn’t too strong in the cleaning dept, but def great at getting through a waxed/sealed vehicle). Meguiars Ultimate Compound would probably power through in one pass what would take a couple more aggressive ones or higher cut pads per panel at a min with this. So I’m not sure yet…. but so far, that’s what I notice more than anything, along with amount of product needed. This all is in context obv to whatever your jobs condition is but the theme carried across many. If you are strip washing and doing everything ground up this will eliminate paint work time just a bit weaker on cut than anticipated but they do say fine scratches and that is actually more than accurate. So although I gave it 4 stars for something it comes out and says – maybe I just assumed it would have a tad more bite for a full on one step. If it’s not one, I’d make sure they just be more upfront about potentially needing to correct first/more.

All that, it’s still an awesome off the shelf easily bought slightly one step solution that I can use myself or for anyone. On such a well maintained vehicle just had me scratching my head. A MF might do the job far better, faster. Real easy to wipe off, that was huge actually. Never really needed a spray follow up. Comes right off and no dust. On and off done looks like you did alot more than you did. Hard to ask for more given the rest of its benefits.

My 2023 Tacoma was covered in haze and scratches from long road trips and car washes (although I think most of it came from dealerships washing the truck… grrr). I don’t have a lot of free time these days so anything I can do to save time detailing is helpful – I’m sure many of you can relate. Enter the Griot’s Ceramic All-in-One wax. I did all the normal prep work (wash, claybar, clean paint), masked off with 3M auto tape (although this wax does not stain trim as far as I can tell), then went to work using a Griot’s G9 polisher, orange correcting foam pads, and this wax. Needless to say, the application was great. It doesn’t dust at all and you have very, very long working times with the product. After polishing, the removal was quick and easy. I pulled the truck out into the sun (at the magic time of the day where the swirls/haze show up), and the paint was perfect. No really, it was perfect. All of the haze, scratches and swirls were gone. It even took out moderate scratches that I thought would require Meguiars compound. Time will tell how this holds up to the 1 year protection claim, although I am inclined to believe it. With that said, you probably want to follow up with a dedicated ceramic spray such as the 3 in 1 wax, turtle wax ceramic spray, or something similar, and do that every 3 months. Overall I am impressed. Great job Griot’s.
