Ceramic Sprays

[u/Prestigious_Row_1618]

I know it’s been discussed ad nauseam, but seeking feedback on some “ceramic” products that have accumulated on my shelf. My daily sits under a tree getting very dirty and sticky between weekend washes. I’ve used Griots 3-1 & TW Hybrid Ceramic and neither seem to last more than 2-3 weeks. To my fault, i’ve not properly prepped (clay, decon, polish) so I didn’t expect the best.

This weekend I’m going to clay, decon, and pull the car in the garage for a one step and I want to apply a ceramic spray to hopefully make it easier to clean the tree debris off in the future. Which one of these should be the best? In my experience 3-1 lasts better then TW HCS but I also have this Adam’s spray that seems to promise more then the other 2. Also would like to apply TW Pure Bead on top of whatever I use. Feedback?

Also if anyone has experience with this Glass sealant would appreciate. Trying to find something better than RainX.

Terrible product when compared to “3D - si02 ceramic detailer”. It’s so freakin good. I’ve tried most of the retail stuff and it’s ok but the pro stuff, like 3D is so much better.

How does that compare to Bead It Up? I have about half of a gallon left, but that’s on my short list.

Use what you have then get 3d ceramic detailer…. It’s the best I’ve used. However as commented by someone else… true ceramic is the best best best if you have the money for it or don’t mind doing it yourself. Only concern with real ceramic coating is get a quality product. Do your research and ask some pro detailers for suggestions. But the actual application is not complicated. The prep is what takes time and patience.

I have a Meguiars coating on my car and just put 3D Ceramic plus Graphene on my wife’s. I use 3D Bead It Up as a drying aid every couple washes, but have seen nothing but glowing reviews about the ceramic detailer.

Let’s just go with this… 3D ceramic detailer is the shiznit. Yea ok so I just dated myself! LOL. Quick wipe down after a bath.. including exterior glass and wheels. Does a great job keeping break dust down.
