I have used other detailing products over the years but nothing is as easy to use as Griot's. The results are stunning, and being the perfectionist that I am, that says something. The greatest award I've achieved with your products so far was a Gold medal at the Mustang Round-Up in the "concours driven" class. Gold is the highest award you can get... must have been that Best of Show Wax. We've also received a couple first place awards and a Mayor's choice. Not bad for it's first season. You have a customer for life.

David's Mirror-Finish Pontoons
Griots Garage 3" Yellow Scrubbing Pads work well to polish the pontoons of my boat! The pontoons are 20 feet long, by 23 inches in diameter. I have been cleaning and polishing them once a year for the last past 10 years, when I bought the boat new. I clean the pontoons using your 3" Yellow Scrubbing pads on my Griots Garage Professional 3" Random Orbital. After I remove the black oxidation from the cleaning process using your 100% Cotton Wipes, I apply Griot's Garage One-Step Sealant. And again, I use the Cotton Wipes to remove the dried Sealant. I find that the One-Step Sealant not only removes more of the black oxidation, but also leaves an unbelivably reflective, protective finish.
P.S. I wish I had known of your fine brand of products 10 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of work and produced superior results. I have told three friends about your products, and they have all purchased and seen for themselves how great your products are.
P.S.S. The reflective shine in the finish of the aluminum pontoons is so mirror-like, that you could actually use it to shave in. They look like a chrome mirror.

Joanne and Eric's Classy Morgan
I am sure that you can tell from my customer # and purchases over the years, that I love your products. My wife Joanne and my pride and joy is our 1966 Morgan +4 Roadster. Our car has won numerous first place awards, and this year is the Centenary (100th) Anniversary of the Morgan Motor Company. This year our car (by invitation only) was selected to show at the world renowned, prestigious, Greenwich Concours in Greenwich, CT. I swear by your products.

Bill's BMW shines on the lawn!
Hi all,
Thought you would be interested in the picture my 7 year old son took at the recent 2009 BMW Concours! Caught me doing some last minute touch ups in the morning LOL! I bought the detail bag at the recent E30 picnic session, on the Saturday prior to the picnic. I love the bag. It holds all the stuff I need to keep the car looking great when I show it. I use it at home and on the road.
Cheers, Bill B.
Al's Speedster in "Griot's Red"
Richard,
Your products blow away all of the competition. They are in a class all their own. Other products advertise themselves as being the best, but Griot's takes perfection in auto care to new levels. My 1956 Intermeccanica Porsche Recreation consistently crushes the competition at car shows. I am convinced that your Best Of Show Wax and Speed Shine detailer are the mainstay of my show winning arsenal.
Thanks for making the most superior car care products in the industry. I am Griot's spoiled for life.

Rejuvenator to the Rescue!
I have a 1989 BMW 325i Convertible that I have owned sinced 1994. The car has 75K original miles and is the proverbial "cream puff". Due to age, I've replaced the leather seats and top, but have not been able to replace the thin leather cover on the back shelf. I've tried a number of commercial leather conditioners in an effort to restore its original look. None of them worked. I purchased your Leather Rejuvenator and I'm very pleased to tell you that it worked perfectly!
Thank you for selling such a great product!

Thomas' Polished Porsche
I am exceptionally pleased with the Polisher/Sealer that I purchased from you at the recent Porsche Parade. I have discussed the fantastic results that I have achieved on my Porsche with numerous members of the Maverick Region Porsche Club. Take a look for yourself.
PS - I really want to have a polish party in Plano, and will try and get your local distributor to give a live demo of the full product line.
Thanks again, Thomas M.
Only the Best in this Garage
Hello!
I have been using your products for years and have had great success with them. I trust them on my "regular" cars through to my exotics and no other products would ever be found in my garage! I track several of my cars and your items reliably get all of the "tire slag" and "bug splatters" off every time. Thanks for making great products and helping my cars look great in the garage and out on the track!
Thanks again and keep it up! Andrew G.
Is it clearcoat, or Best of Show?
Hello. I used your Best of Show Wax this summer in advance of auto shows and won't be using anything else. The results were superior to all others I have tried. My 1956 Chrysler New Yorker hardtop shined, and some I talked with assumed the car had been clearcoated. I am equally satisfied with your vinyl and rubber dressing and window cleaner.
Thanks - keep up your quest for perfection. Jerry K.
Small sacrifices, big returns...
I'm writing to you as a long-time auto enthusiast, and as someone who takes great pride in his vehicles' appearance. It wasn't long ago that I was driving a '94 Camara Z28 in high-school that I cleaned and waxed religiously. I then upgraded to a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII for several years, and it was my pride and joy. It was kept spotless, waxed and shined on a near weekly basis.
Then my wife decided to go back to Pharmacy school - a four year doctorate program at USC - with student-loans substantial enough to rate as a second mortgage. I felt I had to be a responsible husband, so I sold my Evo VIII to free up some monthly income for my wife's schooling. I am now driving a well-used 1996 Toyota 4-Runner with 180,000 miles while we wait for her to graduate.
I admit it; I felt a little down about selling my "baby", so my 4-Runner became my "beater" car. At first, it received infrequent car washes, rare waxings, even rarer interior detailing. It was almost like I was punishing the truck while I pouted. And then something happened...
I'm happy to say that after receiving your catalog in the mail, I just ordered nearly $400 worth of Griot's products to restock my garage. New bottles of wax, piles of fresh microfiber towels, a shiny new Random Orbital machine, and much more... these are the things auto detailing heaven is certaily made of! I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas day as I wait for my UPS delivery.
Griot's is fully responsible for reawakening my love of auto detailing thanks to the website, descriptions, and photos that made me crave a good weekend therapy session with my trusty 4-Runner. I plan to give my truck the wash, polish and wax of its life next weekend. And once my wife graduates in 2 years, I'll be a Griots detailing pro... and then I might just use my renewed detailing skills to maintain another Evo VIII, or perhaps a shiny new BMW M3.
Thank you for a wonderful website, buying experience, and product line. Your company has revitalized my passion for car detailing. Have I mentioned that I'm anxious for my Griot's order to arrive yet?
Cheers! Stephen B.
A Trio of Top-Shelf Toyota's
Our three daily drivers are now only treated with your super products. I first learned about you from a long time friend in his six bay garage full of his favorite toys. All three of our cars are driven daily, rain or shine. Each of the products we have used have more than proven to be superior to anything I have used in the past. Your full line of car care products were used from wash to the final touch detailing. I think all three Toyotas ('95 4-Runner, '95 Land Cruiser, '96 4-Runner) look as good today as when they were new.

Stan's Awesome '69 Camaro
I have gotten great satisfaction from your car care products. I originally purchased these items to care for my 1969 Camaro which I have had for nearly 30 years. I was so impressed with the results that I used it on my wife's car, my mother-in-law's car, and my sister-in-law's cars (all four of them). I am still amazed at the results with every car I do. My hat's off to you on a job well done!

Griot's Shines Again!
Just wanted to drop a line to say thanks to Griot's Garage for the line of fantastic products. For years I've been holding out on buying an orbital because I was scared of ruining my paint. All those years spent hand waxing my cars. Well, my brother recently got a Griot's Garage Random Orbital, and was singing its praises, so I figured I'd give it a shot. The attached is my new BMW M3, after a once-over with Machine Polish 4 and a coat of Best of Show wax. You can see for yourself that I obviously had nothing to worry about. Griot's shines again!
Thanks, Glenn H.
"I tell everybody who will listen..."
I thought I would share a photo of my stars! The only car care products allowed on my cars are from Griot's Garage, and who can argue with the results? The products get the desired results and are genuinely easy to use. I have been a Mercedes-Benz and Griot's Garage enthusiast since I learned how to drive. I tell everybody who will listen about your products, and have had many people drop into the garage to personally test drive the Griot's Garage product line on their own vehicles (none of them have been disappointed with the results). The diverse product line allows me to tailor what is used for each of the vehicles. The 2006 ML500 is my wife's daily driver and it looks great! The 2003 S55 AMG and the 1984 (Euro) 500SEL are sunny day cars whose deep black finish looks stunning when treated to the Best of Show Wax and a Speed Shine wipe down during drying.
Thank you for the concours-grade products!

Griot's Garage tames the "Beast"
I wanted to email you a picture of the "Beast". The Beast hauls a miniature C-130 aircraft and is used to support Air Force Reserve Recruiting activities in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Just like my personal vehicle, I maintain the truck, trailer, and C-130 specifically with Griot's Garage products. As you can see from the size of the "Beast", your Ultimate Machine Polish and Wax Kit is my favorite product! The Speed Shine always keeps the "Beast" looking its best. In the background of the picture you can see a C-130 of the famed "Hurricane Hunters" assigned to the 403d Wing at Keesler AFB, Mississippi. Thanks again for the great products!
Best regards, David B.
A Pint-Sized Barn Find
I thought the people at Griot's Garage might like to see our latest "barn find". My 4 year-old son and I got word of a "European pedal car" uncovered near our home in NE Florida. We met the seller and came to a deal on the spot. It is a mid-1960's Lotus F1, and that's about all we know. We decided to leave the car stock and try to bring the paint back to life. My son had the privilege of using Griot's Garage Best Of Show Wax for the first time. It definitely brought out a darker shade of red, and as he continues to detail, the car is coming to life again!
We really love the products and always have FUN in our garage!

'Vette Club Always Carries Griot's
The Indy Classical Glass Corvette Club members had a great time at your April open house. As usual, we enjoy using and purchasing new Griot's Garage products for our Corvettes. We consistently win top prizes in shows, including Best of Show for some of our members. We attribute this to your great products, which we all use. The Griot's Garage car care kit fit so well in the back of our cars, we customized one for each club member, and we never leave home without all our products. Here are some pics of a few club members on the way to a local show.

Weekend Therapy, Times Two
To the entire Griot's Garage team,
Thank you so much for creating an easy-to-use line of fantastic and integrated products. I recently used my new 6" Professional Orbital, Machine Polish 2 & 3, and Best of Show Wax to detail my parents' much- loved (but much-neglected!) 1998 BMW Z3. The car is a truly unique color; BMW calls it "Turquoise Green," but we call it "Crest." I was so happy with the results, I took the occasion to show off their 11 year-old sparkler next to my very own 1 year-old BMW 128i (for the record, my ride has been treated only to Griot'sGarage products since new).
It was an absolute joy to have a "weekend therapy" wash with two great rides and a brilliant collection of thoughtful Griot's Garage cleaning and detailing tools.
Thanks so much! Stanley W.
Bob Trusts His Treasure to Griot's
I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your stellar products. I am a 23 year old Ohioan who just graduated from college with a degree in education. My treasure is a 2001 Mustang GT. During my college years,I have spent an abundance of time scouring through "over the counter products" at my local automotive stores, trying to maintain and restore my car's paint. Much was left to be desired after using these products that anemically glossed over imperfections rather than dealing with them. It wasn't until I came across one of your articles and visited your website that I became convinced your line of products was worth a try. After requesting your Detailer's Handbook and combing through its highly informative pages, I knew I had found what I was looking for. For my graduation present I asked for your 6" Orbital Bag Kit. Your Paint Cleaning Clay and Speed Shine was the simplest claying system I have ever used. Machine Polish 3 astounded me with its ability to restore and refresh my car's paint to swirl-free, smooth refinement. Best Of Show Wax enhanced the color, depth, and clarity of my Mustang's paint to a showroom finish.
Thank you Griot's Garage. You have set the standard in excellence for automotive care. You certainly have a loyal life-long patron in me.
With Gratitude, Bob B.
Who detailed this car? I did!
I entered my Corvette into the 'Vette Magic Event and thought I'd send a picture to you! I used ALL your products… Engine Bay Dressing, Best of Show Wax, Speed Shine, and Undercarriage Spray around the tire wells. I had a body shop today ask, "Who detailed your car?" I said, "I did!" Yes... a female can detail her own sports car!
Thanks for great products! I've been using them since 1996! Love them!

Her Benz Still Looks New
Attached is a picture of my wife's car. It has had Griot's Garage products used on it since new. The other day in a parking lot, a gentleman approached her and commented on the color and how great the car looked. She told him, "My husband takes care of it, and uses Griot's Garage products." He then said, "Enjoy your new car"! This car is a 2008, is a daily driver, is not garage-kept, is not covered, has gone through a Philadelphia winter (parked under an oak tree that saps), and has approximately 12,500 miles on it! Thanks Griot's Garage for making the car look brand new all the time!

Frederick's Mustang Gets Noticed
As the Ford Mustang turned 45 on April 17th, I decided to make the road trip in my '66 Mustang to the anniversary event held at Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, AL. Knowing the 550 mile roadtrip from St Louis would provide for many bug splatters and countless spots of road grime, I packed up my usual supply of trusty Griot's Garage products!
Prior to leaving St Louis, the Mustang was washed, polished and waxed. After 550 miles and roughly 9 hours of driving, we arrived at Barber and got parked for the event. We immediately went to work using only the best car care products available!
This was my first time using the Spray-On Car Wash and Micro Fiber towels. Wow! Those products made easy work of cleaning the car and ridding it of the dead bug collection and road grime. The Vinyl and Rubber dressing worked great on the interior, adding the perfect shine. Micro Fiber window cloths and Window Cleaner provided streak-free glass with minimal effort. After the application of Long Lasting Tire Dressing and Undercarriage Spray, we had the Mustang ready for 2 days of display!
The outstanding products from Griot's Garage certainly got noticed by other participants. I had several individuals inquire about the Spray-On Car Wash. Hopefully I helped generate a few more "Customers for Life!"

Carl is Sold on Griot's Garage!
Dear Richard and Company,
This sweetheart of a 2008 Z51 looked wonderful when I spotted it at the dealership. Little did I know how beautiful it would be after a full exterior detail using your products. An application of Paint Cleaning Clay, followed by Machine Polish 3 and Best of Show Wax (using the Random Orbital machine) rendered a show quality appearance! I'm sold on Griot's Garager products and use them on all my cars.
