I have never even heard of Griots, how do you say their name. Other than here where can you find their products? What country are they from?:dblthumb2:
Griot's Garage comes from Richard Griot, pronounced "Gree-oh" (French?). They are located in the Seattle area. You can buy their products off their website. They also do a lot of catalog business. I've also seen their products on a couple of other sites.
I've used several of their products including odd specialty tools. I would say that, in general, their stuff is pretty good. Of course, for a certain set of criteria, you can find other/better/more specialized products here on AG.
One thing that I've found that no one can touch Griot's on is their packaging. Yes, sounds stupid, but I love the clear bottles with the red push/pull tops. They are so much better than ketchup bottles or other flip-top lids that get lost or break off. You can easily push them closed and keep them inverted when the bottle gets low. Griot's actually sells the bottle (and sprayers and such) directly if you call them. I
WISH AG sold the bottles directly as well. I use their bottles for just about everything I can find. The bottles are also clear, so you can easily see how much product you have left, whether it needs shaking or not, or whether it's stuck to the sides. The labels on their products are also plastic so they peel off and you can reuse the bottles elsewhere. I really love those little bottles. In fact, I just bought a couple bottles of their car wash (mostly for the bottles).
As far as products I like the best among those I've tried, I'd give the nod to their Leather Rejuvinator and also their Glass Polish. I recently used the Glass Polish on my house (shower doors). I have never been able to find something that will clean those with any decent success (used a HT cyan pad). I just bought a bunch of Diamondite products to compare and see how they do (with glass pads).
