Default Griot's Garage car care products?

Anyone ever bought or used any car care products or any other gadgets or trinkets from Griot's Garage? I have a few of their catalogs, and man, I could spend sooooo much money at that place. Their products are a little expensive, but they sure do look high quality. Comments?

I've only read about their products. Never heard anything negative about anything they offer. I don't think you'd be wasting any money at all if you buy their product, seem to be top notch.

looks like some nice products, I would buy that drying microfiber towel, the price isn't actually that bad either....

There's actually a lot of stuff on there I think I will end up ordering pretty soon..

tell them to ease up on the catalogs. made a purchase in june, now a get a catalog every other week.

i bought some clay. more clay for your money compared to others, and comes with a container. works fine, but clay-ing sucks no matter what so idk if it works better then mothers.

still have yet to install my italian horn from them but i plan to soon.

What don't you like about the process? You might try using vinyl gloves. Also use plenty of, um, lubricant.

Just a FYI for you guys, if you want to get some good info on cleaning your car, check out our Detailer's Handbook:

The site (as you might've noticed) is fairly antiquated. We should have a brand new site up and running in a month or so.
