Griot's Garage Water Resistant Trunk Bag

[Y2KSVT]

I'd like to start by thanking Meghan and everyone at Autogeek for all of the fun giveaways! Last Monday, I was the lucky winner of the Griot's Garage Water Resistant Trunk Bag. Meghan notified me on Monday that I had won, and it was on my doorstep on Friday when I got home. It probably would have been there on Thursday had it not been Veteran's Day. Even with a FREE GIFT, she still mailed it out the same day! I wanted to post some pictures and talk a little bit about the bag to show everyone what a nice product it is. From the Autogeek.net website:

Griot's Garage Water Resistant Trunk Bag

Carry your detailing supplies safely and securely!​

Griot's Garage Water Resistant Trunk Bag neatly stores your car care products and protects your vehicle from accidental spills and leaks. Made of strong, water-resistant polyester, the Griot's Garage Water Resistant Trunk Bag has multiple, large pockets and an easy-access zippered top.​

You never know when your vehicle might need a touch-up! Carry your Griot's Garage Speed Shine Detailer and a microfiber towel with you on road trips or to car events. Pack a detailing travel kit for car shows. You can also stow your jumper cables, air compressor, a flashlight, and other emergency gear in Griot's Garage Water Resistant Trunk Bag.​

Griot's Garage Water Resistant Trunk Bag has ample room for bottles, tools, towels, and safety gear. On one side are two deep, zippered pockets that are 2 1/2" deep and 5 1/2" across and 8" tall and one large zippered pocket on the other side that is 13" across. Two mesh pockets on the ends provide even more storage space. The dual zipper top opens all the way for easy access.​

Griot's Garage Water Resistant Trunk Bag makes a great gift for any auto enthusiast. Better yet, fill it with quality Griot's Garage products!​

16 1/2" long, 10 1/2" wide and 8" tall​

Looking at the dimensions, I was wondering just how much stuff I could carry. I didn't try to max it out (I don't have enough detailing supplies yet to try and tear the seams out of the bag! :laughing: ) Surprisingly, it's large enough to hold my PC7424XP comfortably with plenty of room for more. There are two nice sized pockets on the front, each of which can easily hold two 8oz. bottles. There is one large pocket in the rear of the bag that could probably hold six or eight 5.5" pads. Not to mention, the two netted pockets on each end! The zippers all move very freely and feel very strong. There's nothing worse than buying a backpack or gym bag and the zipper breaks two days later. These feel very tough. The material is nice and thick, and the black and red look great together. I would say that this bag could be used not only as a trunk bag to carry a few supplies, but it could also be used as a full blown detailing bag. Like I said, there's enough room for my polisher, six to eight pads, four to six bottles of product, and then plenty of room on top of the polisher for an extension chord and a few other odds and ends.

Here are some pictures I took of the bag. I hope you enjoy!

Once again, thank you to Meghan and the entire Autogeek team! They run one heck of a business and really know how to take care of their customers!

Can you fit a flex DA in there?

 

[Y2KSVT]

That's a good question. I don't have any experience with the FLEX. Do you know the dimensions of that DA? If it's much longer than the PCXP, it may not fit unless you have the tail end sticking out of the top a little bit.

Just keep in mind that this bag wasn't really designed to carry a polisher; it just so happens to fit the PCXP nicely. This bag will work perfectly for its intended purpose, which is a trunk bag to carry a some detailing supplies for everyday scenarios. I think it would be perfect for taking to car shows so you can have your tire gel, MF towels, wax, a PCXP and pads to apply the wax, and still have enough room to carry home your trophy! Im the MAN

Great review mark! That bag looks awesome, so jealous.

BTW Do you have a girlfriend or wife that drives your mazda6 sometimes? While I was at work I saw a girl about your age go tanning in the cleanest (Lapis Blue Metallic?) Mazda6 that I've seen in Fort Wayne. She had curly hair.

No, I just ordered it and will get the Flex Thursday, but I am looking for a bag for it. and that Griots looks nice!

Ha! My wife can't drive a manual, so it wouldn't have been her. I do see a girl driving a Lapis Blue non-sport Mazda 6 in our area. I think she works at the KFC on Getz.

Ah, my friends dad has a LBM Mazda6 Grand Touring w/ Sport Package, but his is REALLY in need of a detail. Him and that girl (I'm pretty sure it had the spoiler and wheels) are the only two I've seen in town, I always try to keep an eye out for yours but have yet to see it. That car in that color with those options looks fantastic, its always been one of my favorites.

Mark very nice write up, thank you for sharing with everyone. I haven't had a chance to see if the polishers fit in it yet so glad to see you tried it out. I think its perfect for carrying around all the detailing supplys you might need, also nice to keep in the car for car shows and road trips.
Very glad you are happy with it.

I already have the Griot's detailers tool bag (just like the Autogeek bag) which fits my 3 & 6 inch polishers and quite a bit of other things but I still find I need another bag for additional pads, towels, etc. This looks like it would be perfect for what I need.
