Richard Griot is truely a car loving nut.  He hosts regular car "meets" at his house/garage.  There are some regular cars photographed with the products in the catalog/handbook.  I have been a loyal customer since the beginning.

I believe that this is his garage:







A lot of their stuff is overpriced, but I recently bought their machine polish, best of show wax, and polish and wax pads for my random orbital. I used it on the original paint on my '67 and couldn't believe the results. Gentle and really "fed" the dry, old paint. Impressed.

But not cheap.

Griot's has eliminated a lot of good products over the years.  I have one of the round gas cans that fits in the rim of a spare tire and I bought a large tool roll-up that I used on all of my Berg Cruise trips.  It can really hadle a bunch of tools.  I have been considering the ceiling mounted garage fire extinguisher.

I have several products fro Griot's. A little expensive but you get what you pay for. I use their chrome polish for my customer's high end faucets at work, too. Seems very non abrasive. That Bus isn't the first Griot's VW cover car-a Beetle graced one a few months ago.

My local FLAPS (Advance Autoparts) has started to carry some of their car care products and wash equipment.  It's nice to see them/him getting some mainstream play.
