Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 is a standout performer in ease of use and slickness, earning perfect 10s in both categories, with an exceptionally low friction coefficient of 0.07 making it one of the slickest products tested.
Durability is respectable at 7/10 for a spray sealant, but hydrophobicity is a genuine weakness, scoring 0/10 with a contact angle of just 80.3 degrees. It's not technically hydrophobic since that starts at 90 degrees. It also produced a notable loss in specular reflectivity, which is a measure of shine. This one is best suited for detailers who prioritize a quick, effortless application and a slick surface feel over water-beading performance or massive optical enhancement.
