Default Griots ceramic wax

Spent a couple hours washing and waxing her this morning. Applied Griots Ceramic Wax for the first time. Looks great so far. Will apply a 2nd coat tomorrow. Also showing off a couple new engine dress up parts from AMT Custom Desiigns.



Components from AMT Custom Designs.

I've used that stuff on my cars for a couple of months now. Love it; great beading, good longevity (at least so far) and super easy to use.

Car looks great.

We generally favor Griots products. Bought a bottle of the 3 in 1 a few days ago and have been very happy with the results.

We trudge on.

Not sure if those are the same emblems, but the 2020 Camaro has LT1 emblems available. I bought one and used it as part of my under hood dress up.

I use Griot's 3 in 1 ceramic wax on all my vehicles, easy application, great shine and seems to hold up well. I also like the LT1 emblems on your hood. What kind and year model vehicle do they come on and where did you get them. Thanks

I got the LT1 hood emblems on eBay. They are a little pricy but are high quality and look factory. I used pictures from a ZR1 to try to duplicate location.

Thanks for the info on the hood emblems, will order them. I also use the Griot's Speed Shine as a detailer on my Corvette, does well on the finish as well as the wheels, glass and cleaning the tail pipes.

Got my LT1 emblems in today and just installed them, think they look pretty good. If I can figure out how to post a picture, will do it.

I’m sure it’s similar but I haven’t used the Turtle Wax product. I Previously used the Meguiars Ceramic wax. I prefer the Griots due to ease of application. Jury is still out on longevity.

Sharp looking whip you got there!

I like the Griots product you selected. In general I like Griots products very much. My dedicated pre wash snow foam is made by Griots and I'm very happy with it.
