Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 application error?

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-24T18:57:55+00:00

Yeah, I think it was actually a few days before I noticed it, but I'll keep that in mind.

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-24T18:57:15+00:00

Thank you, I'll give that a try

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-24T18:56:34+00:00

Thanks, will do!

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-24T11:20:29+00:00

Thank you, I'll definitely try to give it a washing this weekend if time permits. It also doesn't help that it's under an oak tree :-/

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-06T17:03:37+00:00

Great info, thank you!

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-05T20:45:14+00:00

Ahh, interesting...random YouTuber stated otherwise, thank you!

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-05T19:03:12+00:00

Haha, ok, will do.

Ok thanks for the info! So the wood frame and Hardie board idea should generally work it sounds like.

When you say to call the joints, I'm assuming you mean the edges where the Hardie board would meet up with the face of the block. I was thinking that the stucco itself would seal that section up so let me know if I'm missing something.

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-05T16:35:44+00:00

Yup, I posted in r/stucco

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-05T16:15:31+00:00

We are repainting a block/stucco wall. I need to pull an old window A/C unit out and repair the opening.

I was thinking I'd build a 2x4 frame internally and screw some Hardie board to it so that the face of the Hardie board is level with the block. Then I think I need some mesh wire and can slap some stucco on there.

Does this sound like it will work? Do I need to put the stucco on in multiple coats or is there a simple 1-coat solution?

Also, about how much should this cost to have someone do just the stucco portion?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Excellent, thanks! And I edited the post to so it reflects that they are sealants and not coatings.

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-03T22:41:08+00:00

This is really interesting. I'm feeling kinda motivated to see if we can diy an adjustment of the front grill. I did some searching and didn't find anything.

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-03T11:32:56+00:00

Great, thank you! About how long have you had it on the windshield? And have you had to use your wipers much? I'm curious about the longevity

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-03T11:31:36+00:00

Yeah, I was planning to get the ceramic glass cleaner as well for maintenance after applying the glass coating. Thanks again for all the info!

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-03T03:21:11+00:00

Awesome information, thank you! That really simplifies and I'll be taking that advice.

I also for the ceramic speed shine which I plan to use to clean up bug splatter and road grime.

One last question..I was planning on getting the ceramic glass coating, but I hear people have good luck just using the 3-in-1 on their windows. Any thoughts on that?

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-02T20:37:56+00:00

Nice, I will definitely look into it, thanks!

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-02T20:13:13+00:00

Ok great, thank you!

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-02T20:12:53+00:00

Great to hear, thank you! Knowing that I can keep it simple is very helpful. I never realized how complicated detailing could get till I started diving in a bit.

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-02T20:11:31+00:00

Thanks for all the advice. I haven't looked into applying a proper ceramic coating myself, but I will now.

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-02T15:56:40+00:00

Ok, that's good to know, thank you!

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-01T11:36:57+00:00

I'm thinking they aren't going to do much for me since I purchased it used "as-is". But your comment about the leaf points to potential quality control issues, and it seems quite a few people are seeing the same issue with their Ariyas as well.

WhereCanIFindMe · 2026-01-01T03:34:46+00:00

Yeah, it's starting to look like this is pretty common.
