Griot's Garage

Has anyone ever used their products? Is it really that much better than all the other stuff to warrant the additional cost? I use Zymol products now that I buy at stores like Pep Boys (cleaner and wax, along with Meguiars Clay). Someone told me the other day that the formula for Zymol that you buy at Pep Boys is different than the product you buy from them online. When you go to buy the stuff online, its about the same price as Griots. The stuff at the local stores is about a sixth of the cost, so my guess is that there is some truth to that claim.

At least Griots has some nice packages put together with everything you need.

I'd heard the shit was Blitz One Grand, but I've always been curious about the Zymol stuff. Is it just a packaging/marketing ploy for Turtle Wax, or does it actually do a better job?

Oh, but to answer your question about Griot's, my father and uncle buy a few things from them a year. Some of their stuff is decent, but I think a lot of it's sort of overpriced. Kind of the homsey relation of the Sharper Image or Brookstone. You get the idea.


It's the J. Peterman catalogue of car-care. Can you not see Elaine coming up with some of those descriptions?
