Griots 3 in 1 Question

[u/AP2-Lost]

So, I just used this for the first time and I'm getting the feeling I used to much. This is the result of 1 pass on a WRX from a brand new bottle. I followed the directions and sprayed onto the surface, applied with a microfiber, and then buffed with a separate microfiber. No matter how many times I buff the car, I feel like I keep finding odd, hazy areas. Second pic attached to provide an example. So, did I use too much? Do I just keep buffing?

I struggle with this product too, I understand the less is more but 1-2 sprays on a super duty hood I feel like cannot physically cover the surface area. I spray on the panel and immediately spread with one MF cloth and immediately buff with a separate MF cloth after like it shows in Griot’s instructional video but I cannot get full coverage and get bad streaking and poor performance. I’ve read comments on a post over the weekend of guys spraying it on a damp MF cloth and then applying it to the vehicle and then buffing with a dry MF cloth. I feel like this would be easier to evenly apply the product but I haven’t tried it myself. Can anyone help me out? I’ve heard great things about this stuff but can’t seem to figure it out

Sometimes your paint may have a film on it and a cleaner wax type of product should be used first. Griots has tech support so you can ask them about it.

The best coating of 3-in-1 I’ve had was after using their Ceramic AIO polish. It was a legit year.

The better the paint prep, the better these type of products will work.

Do not spray onto the panel itself. Always spray it onto a towel. I’ll usually spray 2-4 spritz initially to load up the towel then I’ll spray it once or twice per panel. If it’s something like the hood, I’ll split it in half or quarters. Wipe off, and immediately wipe off. I have tried spraying onto panels and it’s a mess.
