Griot's

What opinions are out there regarding Griot's Garage detailing, washing and waxing products?

I've used the car wash, speed shine, wheel spray without issue.

I've used several Griot's products, and have been happy with them all.

However, I do think that you can find other products that are just as good yet cheaper.

For instance, you may have noticed the cult-like following Zaino has around these forums!

That said, I use Griot's speed shine, clay bar, wax and polish on my C32!

Griots makes excellent products however they are overpriced (my opinion) and do not have the durability of other products and ease of use.

Thumbs up Haze

I have a '97 Dark Blue SL320. Griots was the only product (speed shine) that was able to remove the haze induced by other products.
My neighbor solved same issue with his Black 911.
And this is viewing under fluorescent lighting, the most critical condition.
I swear by Griots!

I've used the Griot's Speed Shine, Tire Dressing and Window Cleaner. All are excellent products, particularly the Window Cleaner. Would agree with other comments regarding expense as well as the fact that other polishes & waxes are probably better, in particular Zaino system and Klasse system.

FYI-I really like the Griot's Microfiber drying towels.
