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.

Griot's Garage and ICON
I am a huge fan of your brand. Your products have a hand in our shop (home garage too). ICON relies on many Griot's products to create and maintain our vehicles. If we had to pick favorites, I would say your Magnetic Finger Glove and Convertible Top Cleaning Kit get used the most. The glove fortunately brought an end to the "super-glue the nut to your finger" technique!
Thanks to Griot's Garage for focusing on the little things that make a big difference at the world's best shops and garages!

Jay's Stunning Mustang
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.

Only Griot's is Good Enough
I've been using your products and tools for several years. See for yourself. The attached has been our little darling for almost a decade. Only Griot's products have ever touched it, from tire dressing to polishes, waxes, pneumatic orbital, etc. She's been seen at a lot of "Cruise Nights" during the Summer in New Hampshire, where she now resides. A great ride, and great looks, too, thanks to your products.
Randy & Judy H.
We told you so!
You said I would thank you for supplying me with your gearless ratchets. I've been using your mini 1/4" and 3/8" ratchets and they are great! Thank you.
Hardly a day goes by that I don't use some Griot's tools when working on my Peter Brock Cobra Daytona Coupe.

Scott's Top-Notch Cabriolet
I thoroughly enjoy using your products and especially enjoy the results that I get from using them. My car is a hand-built 1937 Ford Cabriolet that started as a Gibbons body but has been extensively altered. Thanks for helping me keep it in such amazing condition.
Scott J.
"Thanks for the great products!"
I especially like the Speed Shine, Undercarriage Spray, Chrome Polish, Paint Cleaning Clay, Rubber Cleaner, Vinyl & Rubber Dressing, etc. Everything is absolutely the best! I've made my 1999 Road King Classic to resemble a 50's machine and I only use Griot's products on it, and it definitely shows. Thanks again for the great products!

Cole's 911 Scores 297
After nine years of collecting parts and assembling this short wheelbase 911, the national Porsche Parade in Charlotte, NC verified this Porsche 911 as the overall Performance Award winner, scoring over 297 out of 300 possible points.
One of the biggest fans after the awards were passed out was none other than Peter Porsche who took time out from the Historic Display to have his photo taken. The photo may be more treasured than the trophies!
The only detailing products used on this car were from Griot's Garage.

Dave's Low-Mile Pantera
Richard,
Just thought you might like to see how well your products work on my 1974 DeTomaso Pantera L.
My car is all original except for the radiator, tires, and wheels (I have the original tire/wheels with 6,600 miles on them hanging in my garage). All the paint is original... not bad for a 35 year old car. I bought it 5 1/2 years ago with 6,057 miles on it (the previous owner only put 151 miles on it in 22 years).
I especially like the Griot's detailing products (Window Cleaner Set, Wash Mitts, Ultimate Paint Squeegee). I also enjoy the garage products. They work as advertised with no surprises!
Thanks, Dave M.
The Picture of Perfection
Just received a copy of the latest handbook and was delighted to see Romulus on the cover. I know the car well as I was commissioned to do illustrations for a book titled "Racing Green". I've attached an image of the ERA illustration. Very cool car.
I couldn't be more pleased with the results I've gotten using Griot's products - the attached image is of My Jaguar E-type just recently - after a machine polish & Best Of Show Wax (orbital all the way!)

Frederick Gets Great Results
I've been a Griot's customer for the past 11 years, using your car care on everything from vintage Fords to my latest addition, a "new to me" 2003 BMW 330i ZHP. The products easily provide great results. My favorite is Speed Shine as it works great and has so many uses. My wife's favorite is by far the Interior Cleaner. Obviously, someone takes this bottle out of my garage and into the house!
Just recently I branched out and decided to try the Micro Fiber Waffle Weave drying towel. I can't believe I didn't think to buy one earlier! Amazing product with unreal water pickup and an extremely soft touch to the paint.
Thanks again for all the great products and innovative tools. You certainly have a customer for life!

One Red-Hot '32
Awesome stuff guys. This is the latest to be done here at Scott's Custom Car Care, a 1932 Ford, all steel, built by the one and only Boyd Coddington. The awesome shine was produced by using your Machine Polish 3 followed by Best Of Show Wax.
Thanks for the awesome products and great service, Scott J.
Looking Good, Indeed!
With the Griot's Orbital and wax, my 1941 Chevrolet pickup looks great all the time. This is 15 year old paint, and it still looks awesome!

Details Make the Difference
Richard,
I have been using your products for years. My 2001 BULLITT Mustang DHG 1005 has appeared in many magazines. The car is a Ford Special Feature to pay tribute to the 1968 Steve McQueen movie. Only 5,582 were built.
I use your products on the undercarriage as well as the rest of the DHG 1005. In fact, I spend as much time detailing the suspension as I do the rest of my car!
Thanks for your outstanding products, Michael O.
Square is Cool!
Hello friends,
I love your catalog and your products!
I also thoroughly enjoy seeing the councours cars you feature. I am a professional auto detailer here in Hollywood. I work for some wonderful collectors who buy and sell at Monterey during the weekend of the Pebble Beach show. I do attend that concours event myself, and it is the highlight of the year.
I am sending along a photo of my beloved 1965 VW Squareback S.
