Griots Poly Gloss

Has anyone used this stuff?
Too cold here now for me to try but am curious none the less. Look like a solid product on some vids

After reading multiple reviews, I'm very curious. Hate to spend $25 testing, but it sounds like it might be worth it. I'll update this post after application.

 

I watched a few videos on this stuff and their foaming surface cleaner.

This stuff seems to work, I ordered a bottle of each to try them out.

 

finally ordered a bottle of surface cleaner and poly gloss.

Now i wait for non freezing temps.

 

I just used the surface cleaner and poly gloss. I used 2 oz of surf cleaner in an almost full foam cannon bottle of water. Would not do that again, probably just fill the foamcannon half way up with water, or if I am going to fill it up all the way I would use 4oz. So I didn’t really get a good foam with just 2 oz. Cannot say how well the product really works.

For the poly gloss I filled the foam cannon with 500 ml of water (half bottle) and 2 oz of poly gloss. It was more than I needed to do the truck, which is not a problem. I could tell it worked because when spraying the product off you could see a film under the surface bubbles that washed away with the high pressure water. As far as water beading it may have added a tiny bit more, but my truck already has a good sealant on it so I am hoping the poly gloss helps protect the sealant even more.

 

Also one thing I forgot to mention with the poly gloss, be careful when spraying it on the truck if the wind is blowing. Very nasty feeling on the skin, can’t be good for you. Or who knows maybe when I take a shower tonight my arms are going to bead water like crazy.

 

Good to know. I am just hoping it's a solid maintenance wash product to cut down on all the handwashes when not 100% needed.

 

You need to use the surface wash then before any dirt can bake onto the paint. Or dont let the dirt get wet and dry a bunch. If you don’t let that happen the surface wash will be perfect. Then I would use a glass cleaner then apply the poly gloss.

 

I usually handwash every weekend if i can so the truck would be fairly spotless. It is also ceramic coated at the moment. I plan to strip, polish and re coat with something in the spring so these 2 products will be solely for maintenance washes.

 

It sounds like these products will work good for you. I use ammo reflex topped with jescar powerlock+, and usually if my truck gets dirty as long as I wash it once a week I could probably get away with just a high pressure rinse off and then dry. It’s been cold so hard to find the will power to wash once a week, but okce it warms up that’s how I’m going to use these products.

Interested to hear how they interact with your ceramic coating, keep us posted.

 

Pic of the water beeding from the rain today. I did top the poly foam with ammo hydrate.

 

Looks good man.

 

their glass polish/ protectant is supposed to be the best you can get.

 

If you're looking for a spray on/ rinse off sealant, just get some Carpro Hydr02.... it's the original and IMO still the best product out there. Now it seems everybody and their mother has a similar offering but I've tried a ton of other ones (only because Hydr02 is so damn expensive) and none of them even come close.

The fact that the Griot's product can't be a standalone sealant and needs re-application every 2-3 weeks says it all for me. Wouldn't even waste my money on it.
