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.

Vonixx blend looks nice with their blend spray wax.

Technicians`choice has one too.

Looks interesting but the claim of up to 4 mos means it`s not durable. 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.

it`s also interesting they use a orange pad with griots 3in1

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.

A friend and I were recently discussing just that. He sent me a couple to try out, and I bought one myself. Hopefully soon, I`ll get to compare longevity (that`s his main concern) of the new ones, and compared to some classics.



Rupes UNO Advanced
Sonax Ceramic AIO
HD Speed
Blackfire One Step
Shine Supply Burn Out

Thanks for posting that. I gathered from the GG catalog that it sheets, which I don`t like, but I`m still debating trying it (and their 3-in-1) anyhow.
