I am Miss Porsche. I am a sweet young beauty of 24 years with only 29,000 fun-filled, high-RPM, flirting-with-redline, gut-wrenching, exhilaratingly-laugh-out-loud miles; a mere pittance of pleasure for such a spectacular babe, and I am only one of seven imported to the states that year.
Notice how my lines and curves flow slowly and seductively from my soft, removable top to the firm, inviting flanks of my Turbo Wide Body. My dark Guard's Red tan is provokingly clear with a brilliantly vibrant luster that can only result from my master's obsessive use of car products from Griot's Garage... Best of Show, Machine Polish 3, Fine Hand Polish, and Rubber Dressing. Superior car care tools to keep me hot and luscious.
Drool if you must boys, but only when socially expedient.
Warmest regards, Miss Porsche, 1986 (and Mel S.)
Dad's Bowtie Stays in the Family
Dear Griot's,
I have recently taken ownership of a 1994 full size Chevy Blazer from the original owner, my dad. I remember taking road trips in this rig sitting in the back seat as a kid, and now 16 years later I'm behind the wheel. I wanted it to shine like it was when my dad first made that big purchase 16 years ago. I visited the Griot's store in Tacoma, was given a demo of your products by the great staff, and was amazed! Now I am always being asked where I got my new paint job. I tell them, "at the GM plant 16 years ago" and they can't believe me. I used the Paint Cleaning Clay with Speed Shine, then Machine Polishes 1-4, followed by Best of Show Wax. I recently touched it up using One-Step Sealant. Four months later, after every wash it still looks great! Thank you Griot's for keeping it in the family!
Thank you, Xavier Y.
Outshining All the Others
Richard,
I have enjoyed using Griot's Garage products for the past 5 years or so. I enjoy all of the new additions to the handbook such as the Paint Glaze and can't wait to order some and try it out. Keep up the good work.
Attached are two pictures. The black car is a 1951 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe. This car has only 7,000 miles on it and, thanks to all of your products, brought the paint and the whole car back to life. It had sat since 1954 so you can imagine the shape it was in. As you can see by the pictures, that old enamel and chrome really shines! The other car is a 1930 Studebaker FH President Sedan, one of a few left in the country. Both of these cars outshine all of the others at shows, and when people ask what I use to clean them, I pull out the latest handbook and say, "Only the best"!
Thank You, Niall O.
Jim Spreads the Good Word
Since many people ask me at shows what I use on my paint, I always carry my extra Griot's Garage catalogs to hand out. I'm sure there will be many more Griot's Garage customers in the Orlando area shortly! It's easy to endorse a product that you use and believe in.
I've attached a photo of my '66 Mustang GT Convertible that has received nothing but the best from all of Griot's products.
Thanks again! Jim L.
Joe's Caddy Sparkles with Griot's
Hi, I have owned my 1968 Cadillac Deville convertible now for the past 5 years. I owned the same car back in 1972 and it was the same color as this inside and out. When 2009 rolled around I started to purchase all of my cleaners, waxes, towels etc. from The Griot's Garage website. All the other products I purchased and used in previous years never did much for my car. This year with the Best of Show Wax, my car never looked so good, and it was due to your wax and other products. I wish I had your wax back in 1972 for my first Deville.
Thank you, Joe L.
"Never been disappointed..."
Richard,
Thought you might like to see my new Wash Bucket... I have trouble leaving anything stock. By the way the bucket is sitting on the floor you provided. My friend and I did the floor about six years ago, and it still looks great. The car, a 1971 240Z was painted (not restored, just painted) and pinstriped in 1981. I purchased the 350Z new in 2003. My first experience with Paint Cleaning Clay was a few months ago on both of these cars. I purchased your Clay, Speed Shine, and cloths. I was not sure if it did any good on the 350 Z, since the clay still looked clean at the end. The paint originally looked great, and still did. THEN I started to put on the car cover. It quickly slid off the other side of the car. It became obvious that the paint was much smoother.
I purchased the 240Z in 1979. Now remember, the Z was just painted by a local body shop. I was quite afraid of damaging this old paint. The clay did pick up dirt, so it appears that surface did need some work. Again the process was VERY easy, fast, and looked great. I have never been disappointed by one of your products.
Now that we have settled in the Tucson, Arizona area I can have the Guy Garage that I always wanted.
Thanks for your assistance. Ron J.
Dave Discovers Z Finest Car Care
I have heard about Griot's products for years. YEARS.
My recent cars have been a '97 Jeep TJ, 2000 Accord Coupe, '04 Mazdaspeed Miata Turbo, '07 Nissan 350Z, and my newest is an '09 Nissan 370Z. Like most car enthusiasts, I love to detail my cars to make them look good, but have previously used off-the-shelf products.
Well, my friends at a local cleaner are car nuts, too, and really spoke highly of Griot's after they saw my new 370Z. I said, "why not" and ordered a couple of products. I used the Car Wash Kit this afternoon and "WOW" - that yellow really pops! Not only is it the easiest spray on wash product I've ever used, but I can definitely FEEL the difference. Later this week, I'll use the Speed Shine to knock off the light dust.
I'm looking forward to trying out more of Griot's stuff, but I have only one regret - not starting YEARS earlier with your products!

Griot's Goes to Work in NY
Hi Richard! I wanted to drop you a note and some pictures of our trucks. We have an excavating and snow removal business in New York state. Needless to say, the winters here in the Northeast are pretty nasty. That's why I use your products to help protect against snow, ice and salt. I have been using them for years and they are unparelled for protection and shine. People often tell us that the trucks look like they should be in a parade! Even hard working trucks can look amazing with your products!
Keep up the good work, Chris M.
This Camaro's Good as Gold
Hi. Here are a few pictures of my Camaro Z28 detailed by Griot's products, the only products that I use inside and out. A lot of car show fans ask me what I use and I always tell them Griot's Garage, in and outside of the car and under the hood. Thanks Griot's for all the fine products and hope to see you in Columbus again.

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.
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.

Jay's Mustang Shines
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.

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.
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.
