Default Thoughts on Griots?

Any thoughts on Griot's products for detailing. Good, bad, or ugly. I have used several of their products but am also finding out more about Zaino and reading good things.

What are your thoughts on the Griot's product line? Is their stuff all hype?

I personally have never tried any Griots products...........right now its like an explosion with all the different brands of detailing products on the market today.

I personally can say nothing but awesome things about Meguiar's products....from the quality of the products to the customer support, they are a "First Class Company" with fabulous products.

If you decide to go with the Griots, please let us know how they worked for you..........

I've been using Groit's products for ten years or so. Carwash and Speedshine are great products

Pros- Great service and their product quality is second to none. Owned / run by a car guy

Cons- Some re-branded products, which makes them overpriced due to mark-up

Thanks for the responses... I have seen a lot regarding Zaino products which was new to me. Griot's has been around for a very long time & yes they are a bit expensive. I was trying to decide if I needed to explore another brand.

David,
I would be interested in your recommendations on Meguiar's products which you use. I have been a fan of theirs for a long time going back to when I participated in car stereo shows/competition.

For now, I have placed an order with both Griot's and Zaino's to refresh my Griot's products and try out Zaino's.

I've never used Griot's but have heard good stuff from others. Have had good luck personally with Zaino.
