What does anyone think about Griots? Ease of use?

I think Griot's is good, but a little on the overpriced side. They carry a large variety of car care goodies, and have good customer service. Their polishes are good, but made mostly for machine use, which is fine. Their waxes are a little above average IMO. They're better than the store bought carnaubas for sure, but, compared to other boutique carnauba waxes they aren't that great. Waxes like P21S (S100), Blitz, Pinnacle, and even Mother's offer a greater value and more shine among carnaubas. Blinding shine and superior depth isn't the goal with the Griot line. They prefer a softer, darker shine, which is fine I guess, but you can get more shine for less $$ using other waxes. Also, they do not produce their own waxes and polishes, but are a bottler/reseller. So, I think they offer a good line of stuff for any detailer, but IMO, not the best. Check out P21S or S100, Blitz, or Pinnacle for even better carnauba waxes. And, like most other carnaubas out there the durability and protection is average. They do have a nice catalog though that makes for interesting window shopping.
