    Has anyone tried Griots Garage?

    Anyone try their wax, polishes, or products? I like Zaino, but want to get back to machine polishing. Adams is great as well as Cherry Wet Wax gives the best glow I'v seen, especially at dusk and night.;sfus ;sfus

    I did a comparison of their Hand Polish and Best of Show wax vs. Zaino on my hood. The Zaino was a tiny bit deepr in gloss and what sealed the deal was that the Zaino was 10 times easier to remove.

    What Griot's has that's super nice is the Microfiber towel set for removing wax and polish. I highly recommand them

    I meant it was 10 times easier to wipe off.

    I agree with RobG, the Microfiber towels that Griots sells are great. I also like his 25"x35" Micro Fiber drying towel, great for drying the Harley. I've tried his Best of Show wax, Fine Hand polish, and cleaning clay system. All with good results.

    I found Turtlewax microfiber towels at PepBoys. Don't know if they are comparable or not.

    I just received my shipment from Adams Polishes. I ordered the Detail kit and the Butter wax. One of the guys with a ghost flamed L at Earl's uses Adams and it looked great. He said its better and easier than Zaino. I am waiting on the P/C orbital buffer and pads from griots. I am also trying their "no scratch" chrome polish.

    G.Garage is way over priced. If you guys hit Autopia.org, you will find links to higher quality MF towels over there for literally half of what you would pay at GG.

    I even have 10 special MF just for windows.

    I have found the CA Waterblade to be the best thing so far to dry off the truck with, then use a MF to final buff. Comes out nice and in less time.

    Also another great thing for drying is "The Absorber" -- it's blue and works great...Get one for your rims and one for the paint.

    I almost bought a bucket off of GG until i realized it would cost 90 bucks.
