Griot's Garage Ceramic Speed Shine Detail Spray — One Gallon SiO2, High-Gloss Hydrophobic Finish

Griot's Garage Ceramic Speed Shine is a one-gallon ceramic detail spray that adds a slick, high-gloss SiO2 layer to exterior surfaces for enhanced water beading and easier maintenance.

Designed for enthusiasts and pros alike, this ceramic detailer combines silane polymer chemistry with silica (SiO2) to deliver a fast, hydrophobic finish that both enhances gloss and helps preserve existing coatings. The formula works on paint, glass, plastic, chrome and wheels, removing light dust and smudges while providing an easy-to-apply protective layer. It’s ideal for quick touch-ups, post-wash drying aid, or as a maintenance boost between full ceramic reapplications.

How does Ceramic Speed Shine improve appearance and protection?

When sprayed and wiped, Ceramic Speed Shine lays down a thin silane/silica film that enhances depth of color and mirror-like reflection. The polymer blend increases surface slickness, reducing adhesion of dirt and making future cleaning simpler. Because it’s SiO2-infused, it also strengthens water behavior on the surface, letting droplets bead and roll off.

• SiO2 and silane polymers for durable surface gloss
• Creates a slick, high-reflective finish instantly
• Reduces water spotting through hydrophobic action

Can I use this with my existing ceramic coating or wax?

Yes — Ceramic Speed Shine is formulated to complement existing ceramic coatings or wax layers without stripping them. Use it as a maintenance spray to refresh hydrophobic properties and improve slickness between major services. It will not replace a full cure coating but extends the visual and water-shedding benefits of your current protection.

• Safe on cured ceramic coatings and traditional waxes
• Extends coating performance when applied regularly
• Perfect for touch-ups without full reapplication

What surfaces and situations is this detail spray best for?

Ceramic Speed Shine is versatile across a vehicle’s exterior: paint, glass, trim, chrome and wheels all benefit from the slick, water-resistant finish. It’s especially useful after rinsing or during quick detailing sessions when you want a showroom appearance with minimal effort. Use it as a drying aid, a clay lubricant, or a top-up between washes.

• Works on paint, glass, plastic trim, chrome, and wheels
• Use on wet surfaces as a drying aid or on dry surfaces for quick shine
• Functions as a clay lubricant for safe contaminant removal

How do I apply Griot's Garage Ceramic Speed Shine for best results?

For quick maintenance, mist the spray across a section of the vehicle and immediately wipe with a clean microfiber towel to spread and buff the finish. After washing, use it as a drying aid by applying while panels are wet and squeegeeing or towel-drying off. For lubrication during claying, spray generously on the panel and glide the clay bar to remove embedded contaminants.

• Mist on a wet or dry surface, then wipe with a microfiber towel
• Apply section-by-section for even coverage and easier buffing
• Use as clay lubricant or drying aid as needed

Who is this for? Ceramic Speed Shine (10986) in the one-gallon size is intended for car enthusiasts, detailers, and small shops that want a fast, repeatable way to boost gloss and hydrophobic performance without the time investment of a full coating.
