I'm on their mailing list and get cataloges all the time. I haven't tried their wax, but their products seem to be high quality. Some items are a bit expensive, but others seem price competitive.

I want to try some of their pads for my Porter Cable.....

The one thing Griot's is known for is being expensive.

Some people are fans of their "core" detailing products (waxes, polishes) but they're not magically better or anything. Most people just go with other more readily available stuff.

(Plug ) www.autopia.org You'll find WAY more about Griot's over there than here.

I'm using Griot's products on my Max, and they seem to be pretty good, overall. The Best of Show wax holds up for a few months, and it provides a very nice shine. I use Speed Shine detailing mist between waxings and it also goes on quick and makes the car look nice. Griot's car wash is about the best I've used...it doesn't strip the wax, nor does it leave spots...it feels slippery when you're washing the vehicle. The rubber cleaner is effective, yet gentle on the tires and weather-tech mats. Griot's wheel cleaner is excellent. I had used Zymol paste waxes for years...they do a great job, but it involves a lot of work to remove the wax.

I am using Griots leather care stuff and it is amazing although the smell can be a bit strong but I love how it makes my seats feel just like new
