View Full Version : A real ceramic AIO?
Always looking to up my AIO game. Current products last 2-4 months outdoors 24*7. Are there any Ceramic AIOs that are worth checking out? The TW and Griots products have my attention. Anything else out there?

Brian from FAB automotive detailing does a Youtube video on the Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic AIO. He actually showcases its cutting ability....which is pretty impressive in his video.

I know for many cutting in an AIO is important but my preference is chemical cleaning and durable protection. If I need cut, I can use a dedicated polish and follow up with a spray wax that will give me at least two real months.

The longest claims that i know of are rupes uno advanced and carpro essence. Both claim up to a year...
Via carpro-us:
- How long does CARPRO Essence last?
We expect 1 year on its own BUT we recommend applying Reload or CQUARTZ over top for the much better hydrophobics and dirt resistance. This will provide 115+ deg contact angle instead of 90 deg contact angle (not so good) with Essence alone.

I use Griots 3in1 spray wax and it`s amazing 6 months +. Super easy to apply. I haven`t tried the 3in1 AIO yet but if it`s similar to the spray, I`m excited to try it.

But *which* orange pad was it? While many of us automatically think "Orange Foam" = "Light Cutting Pad", that`s not always the case, at least not functionally speaking. Griot`s has sold a number of Orange Foam pads over the years, and the ones I`ve used all finished out fine (at least on not-stupid-soft clear).

I was also thinking that maybe e it helps with the cleaning part.
Anyone try Dr. Beasley`s Z1? Looks promising too.

As I stated if you like sheeting then this is a winner. If you are one that likes beading you won’t like it. Pad dependent for defect removal. Doesn’t feel super slick but more smooth.
