Griots Garage Detail Equipemtn

Motastic · 12-20-2011, 09:31 AM

Most of you probably read my thread about buying detail equipment and I came across a dealer locally who sell's Griot's Garage's polish's and wax's and all equipment

It seems like top notch stuff, but have any of you worked with it? What are you inputs?

heard so so things about the polish line up

I love their DA though

Motastic · 12-20-2011, 03:40 PM

DA?

I was thinking about picking up there 1 - 4 polish's

I dislike polishes that are labeled by numbers and not what grit they can correct.

You can get much better products that bring more to the table than Griot's.

do you already have the machine to do the work? if so, which one? if not, get the griots DA

Motastic · 12-21-2011, 11:59 AM

I am getting the griots 6" and 3" random orbital

Their D/A is fantastic. You can't beat lifetime warranty.

I'm not so sure about the polishes though. Personally, I'd use other brands before I try Griot's.

meguiars 105
menzerna SIP, 203, 106, 85rd (if you want just two, I'd say 203 and 85rd)
LC pads - orange, black, blue, white
surbuf pads

all pads in 4" and 5.5" with 5" backing plate, and 3.5" backing plate

those products right there will give you a lot of possibilities

Motastic · 12-27-2011, 02:42 PM

i decided to just buy all the griot's....

most people will hate me but just loved the fact how it was all labeled and easy.

i mean for beginner's its good, and than maybe from there I will move forward with other things

Envious Eric · 12-27-2011, 10:01 PM

good luck, fill in with updates on experiences

i've tried gg stuff before and i have nothing to complain about,their da is fantastic (seems a little more powerfull than pc but i think its made by them just in different colors but i could be wrong) but i find myself working with menzerna quite more often because it seems much easier to work with.

Motastic · 12-28-2011, 09:49 AM

I will definately post some pictures once done. I have some time saved up this week, Friday and Monday off from work to work on this stuff.

Lets see how much I can get done

I bought their master kit and like everything so far. I haven't had the need to get into any polishes or clay yet.
