Default Griots

Anyone else besides rlbawk use Griots? I hear it's really good stuff. The guy who parks next to me has an S65 amg and he uses it. Told me it's excellent. My car is black, so it's hard to keep it looking good. Here is the website for anyone that would want to check it out for themself.

I use many Griot's products. I have their ROB and polishes that do a very good job. I also have their clay bar pad for this buffer, with which you can clay bar your car in minutes. I also use their boars hair brush on a pole for my washes, and their shorter handled boars hair brush for my wheels and wheel wells.

I do, however, find their "Best in Show" car wax to be a bit too much of a problem to buff off. But, after all the effort to buff it off, you may find that your labor was well worth it, as the shine is great and long lasting.

Griot's has a policy that will allow you to return anything for full refund that does not work for you.

Bottom line, I think Griot's has some great products and is an ethical company. I've bought from them in the past, and will buy from them in the future.

Default Griot's products

I have had great results with Griot's products. My SLK is obsidian black and really tough to keep clean. My only complaint was like Dolebludger mentioned the Best of Show wax is tough to buff off. With that said my 06 looks new again. Oh, I bought there whole kit with buffer polishes and waxes and polishes. I also bought an oil extractor to do my own oil changes, works like a charm. I highly recommend them.
