Griot's Garage Ceramic Liquid Wax 16oz — SiO2 Infused High-Gloss, Hydrophobic Sealant

Griot's Garage Ceramic Liquid Wax is a 16oz SiO2-infused liquid coating that produces a deep, high-gloss finish and a water-resistant, self-cleaning barrier for automotive paint.

If you want to lift the shine on your car while adding a durable, hydrophobic layer that keeps surfaces cleaner between washes, this liquid wax is designed for that job. The formula blends silica (SiO2) with resins and silane polymers to create a slick, glossy surface that enhances color depth and sheds water. It’s formulated to be safe on all OEM and repainted finishes, and it won’t leave white residue on plastic trim or rubber, making it a practical final step after polishing or paint correction.

How does this product improve my car’s gloss and color?

The ceramic ingredients bond with the surface to amplify light reflection and deepen perceived color. You’ll notice richer tone and a mirror-like clarity that makes paintwork stand out without adding abrasives that could alter the finish. The result reads like a professionally detailed look, whether applied by hand or machine.

• SiO2 and resin blend increases surface reflectivity for added gloss
• Silane polymers enhance color saturation and depth
• Non-abrasive formula preserves original paint integrity

Will it protect my paint from water, dirt, and UV?

Yes — the product forms a hydrophobic, sacrificial layer that repels water and helps grime slide off more easily. While not a ceramic permanent coating, it offers long-lasting resistance against environmental contaminants and helps reduce staining and water spotting. Regular reapplication will maintain the protective properties and keep surfaces easier to clean.

• Creates a water-resistant barrier that beads and sheds moisture
• Helps defend against road grime and light environmental fallout
• Provides UV resistance to slow paint dulling from sun exposure

How do I apply it and remove it cleanly?

Application is straightforward: work on cool, clean paint and spread the liquid thinly by hand with an applicator pad or with a random orbital polisher for faster coverage. Allow a short flash time, then remove residues with a damp microfiber towel for a streak-free finish. The formula is forgiving and formulated to wipe off easily without leaving chalky film on trim or rubber components.

• Works by hand or with a random orbital polisher for speed and consistency
• Wipes off with a damp microfiber for a smooth, streak-free result
• Non-whitening on plastic trim and rubber moldings for cleaner detailing

How long can I expect the protection and shine to last?

Longevity depends on driving conditions and maintenance routine, but this liquid ceramic wax offers extended durability compared with traditional carnauba waxes. Under normal use it keeps paint looking glossy and repelling water for weeks to months; frequent washes and harsh environments will shorten that timeframe. Reapply as part of your regular maintenance to sustain gloss and hydrophobic performance.

• Longer-lasting than conventional waxes, especially under gentle care
• Performance influenced by climate, washing frequency, and contaminants
• Simple reapplication restores gloss and water repellency

Who is this for: Enthusiasts and DIY detailers who want a high-gloss, easy-to-apply topcoat that improves color depth and adds a hydrophobic, self-cleaning layer to their vehicle. It’s suited for anyone finishing a polish session, sealing freshly corrected paint, or those who prefer a glossy, low-maintenance finish without the permanence or prep of professional ceramic coatings.
