Griot's Garage Ceramic Liquid Wax 16 oz — SiO2 High-Gloss, Hydrophobic Protection for Paint

Griot's Garage Ceramic Liquid Wax is a SiO2-enhanced liquid finish that boosts gloss, adds durable hydrophobic protection, and leaves a slick, self-cleaning coating on automotive paint.

Designed for enthusiasts and detailers who want showroom shine without complex procedures, this 16 oz bottle combines silica (SiO2), resin, and silane polymers into an easy-to-apply liquid wax. It lays down a non-abrasive, high-gloss layer that enhances color depth, repels water and grime, and resists wearing effects from weather and road contaminants. Safe for all factory and custom paint types, the formula won’t chalk on plastics or rubber trim and can be applied by hand or with a random orbital polisher.

How does this product improve my car’s appearance?

The blend of SiO2 and polymers increases surface reflectivity and deepens paint color for a richer visual finish. The liquid fills minor surface irregularities to create smoother reflections and a wet-look shine without aggressive rubbing.

• SiO2 and resin boost gloss and depth
• Smooth, non-abrasive formula for safe application
• Removes cleanly for an even, streak-free finish

Will it protect my paint and reduce how often I wash the car?

The product forms a durable, water-resistant barrier that helps keep contaminants from bonding to the paint, so dirt and water bead off instead of sticking. This hydrophobic effect reduces washing frequency and makes routine maintenance faster.

• Creates a ceramic-like barrier to repel water and grime
• Self-cleaning action sheds light dirt and road film
• Helps preserve finish between full washes

How do I apply Griot's Garage Ceramic Liquid Wax for best results?

Apply a thin, even layer to a cool, clean surface; work in small panels if hand-applying or use a random orbital with a finishing pad for speed. The formula wipes off easily with a soft microfiber or a slightly damp towel, leaving behind the protective coating.

• Work on one panel at a time for consistent coverage
• Use an orbital polisher or soft foam applicator for faster results
• Remove residue with a plush microfiber or damp towel

Will it affect plastic or rubber trim around the car?

This ceramic liquid wax is formulated to be abrasive-free so it won’t leave white, chalky residue on plastic or rubber trim pieces. It is safe for use near molded parts and clears clean for a uniform result across painted and unpainted surfaces.

• No white residue on trim or moldings
• Safe for mixed-surface detailing jobs
• Compatible with factory and aftermarket paints

Who is this for: Griot's Garage Ceramic Liquid Wax is aimed at car owners, hobbyist detailers, and professionals who want a high-gloss, long-lasting finish without complicated ceramic-bonding steps. It’s a strong final-step product for vehicles that need enhanced shine, easier maintenance, and extra protection from daily exposure to weather and road contaminants.
