I've heard of people recommending a leaf blower to dry most of the water and then moving to a microfiber towel to dry. I also think the speed/shine would be best as a drying aid. Wondering if someone does use a leaf blower, if the speed/shine should go on BEFORE or AFTER the leaf blower.
@@davidjykim I would say after the leaf blower. So you first blow as much water off as possible, then go over the entire car with speed shine and a drying towel. Mopping up any drips and adding protection at the same time
I think Griot's calls the scent "Green Apple" but i'm not 100% sure on that one. I do have these products and for the money, you definitely cannot go wrong with these! I really enjoy using Griot's products. They have been putting out some good stuff lately.
Yeah we do but its not Groits garage. I've had Best of show wax and still have 2 bottles left. Cant get it anymore. It has out lasted anything that bowdens ever made.
Enjoy your video's, quick question, rather than using CSS, would you get better longevity using 3 in 1 as a drying aid or quick detail on top of the original application of 3 in1 ?
@seabreezeof I think you would get best longevity by applying 3 in 1 as a base, using CSS as a topper/drying aid and re applying 3 in 1 every 3-6 months.
If you’ve been using the ceramic speed shine as a drying aid on top of the 3 in 1, when you go to apply more 3 in 1 would you fully prep the surface again or just apply the 3 in 1 on top?
Like 20 years ago or whenever it was the original formula of Turtle Wax Ice was a lot thicker product & IMO was very superior to all subsequent formulas of it. From the 2nd formula on it's been way too much like straight water. I find the 3 n 1 Girots to be incredibly more 'warm' & substantive when apply it, removing it & enjoying the results of it.
The main fail here is rinsing with a pressure washer, you are literally blowing off the protection. The surface only needs a low flow stream of water at best to clean it off for a rinse.
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa it is 100% how that works. There is no need to hit that panel with any pressure other than regular hose pressure when rinsing a panel. If you are using high pressure to rinse you are doing it wrong. You use pressure to blow off what you do not want, not what you want. Though if I am wrong, please explain why you need to use high pressure to rinse a clean panel?
@Bob Bob high pressure water does not remove ceramic protection. The chemical is bonding to the surface as a microscopic level. Go ahead and email Griot's and ask for yourself if you dont believe me. Literally there are spray and rinse products that show using pressure washers. I and literally hundreds of others have been detailing vehicles this way professionally for many years. I don't need high pressure, but it works a lot better than a garden hose and uses less water to clean a vehicle and is much faster. Pretty standard thing for professional detailing. Garden hose will also work just fine.
I use those same products. Your top 2 picks. I like the results.
I use the speed shine as an actual drying aid, meaning after you rinse your car you spray the speed shine on the panel before drying with your towel.

Already have a ceramic coating i skip the clay bar .. I wash the car then I use the 3 in 1 griot as drying aid every week is that too much

Yea for sure. Looking forward to that ceramic all in one.
Wish we can get this in Australia.
Bummer! Surprised it's not sold there, but I know Bowden's Own is made down under and they have some killer products as well.

@@BelLavoroAutoSpa Much appreciated 👍
i dont know if this is coincidence but does the big red cap measures up to 1OZ?
@@happyball5503 probably intentionally knowing them
Can I use this as a drying aid? Wash the car with ONR and then spray each panel while wet and dry off.
@@ceeIoc yes you can use the 3 in 1 wax or speed shine as a drying aid

You can re apply 3 in 1 over the ceramic speed shine. They are made to be chemically compatible!
Would I be apple to apply optimum car wax after this ?
If you wanted to yea
What's the yellow microfiber you were using. The Rag Company has the wolfpack ones now...looks similar.
Chemical Guys Gold. Used to be cheap bulk packs on Amazon but price has gone way up.

Yea I think TW has gone through a lot of changes over the years
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa Yes. I swear the 3 n 1 Girot's is like the orginal TW Ice was.
Can I spray the ceramic spray shine and blow dry the car or do I have to use a towel to dry the car?
You can blow dry thr car sure if you mean after you have already applied it via wiping it in and buffing off or spray and rinse.
Never seen these products at Walmart
I believe they are only sold in auto parts stores and online
