I only used their natural sea sponges for washing.

They didn't work well so I sent them back.

I bought a boar's hair brush from them when it was on sale for 1/2 price. It's not very effective if the truck is REALLY dirty but I like using it for regular washings.

Bought several items from them including my Porter Cable. Fast service. All items very good but over-priced. The polishing compounds are excellent. Removed all my swirls and scratches. I am sure there are lots of cheaper products that would do the same though. Great towels and MicroFibers. He has some great stuff but I think he would do better if he lowered his prices. I suppose he does fine anyway because his clientelle are Concours de Elegance winners with deep pockets.

Only some of the gadgets that I can't live without and cannot find anywhere else on the net.

He prices are kind of high, but when you see something you didn't know you couldn't live without money takes a back seat.

Never tried any of the cleaners / polishes or waxes myself, have good luck with what I use now, for alot less.

Used a url that Intel provided for MF towels and the likes for alot less then Griots. ( proper auto care I think, I got it bookmarked at home ).

Won't buy any of ther waxes or polishes a bit pricey like others have said . However they do have some REALLY COOL gadgets for the gargae and work area. some resonably priced others a bit high. I would really ove to have the roller thingy that squezes the water out of your towels or chamy I really hate wringing them out by had but the price they want for that is INSANE!

Richard D,

Try a flee market, and look for an old one.

They have been around for years, it is just everyone stopped using them.

If you find one let me know, I have been checking the flee markets around here with no luck.
It just isn't worth that kind of money that they get for it there.

Steve

As everyone else has said, they have some cool stuff, but their prices are way too high.
