    About a year ago I got this Griot's sampler to check their stuff out. Car Wash is pretty good, comparable to Prima's Mystique. Their interior cleaner is close to Prima's Nero, I'd give Prima the nod. Same with their window cleaner vs. Clarity

    What sat around till about 6 weeks ago was the Wheel Cleaner. "who needs that?" I asked myself. Up to then I'd use the car wash suds after rinsing the wheels and using some tools I had amassed. http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/detailing/2435-great-wheel-tools.html
    Worked OK

    Finally decided to try it one of the first warm days this year and WOW. Spray it on and let it sit for approx 1-2 min and then take your normal wheel cleaning tools with some clean water and boom, done. Probably about half the time as using car wash suds, seriously

    Does not remove wheel wax.

    Granted you could continue to use regular car wash but this is a real time saver

    Great find, highly recommended.

    Our sponsor at Out Motoring carries it. Check it out

    Thanks for the review. I guess I'll have to add that to my detailing arsenal.

    Tim, I agree that this stuff works great! In fact, I have had good success with every Griot's product that I've used. I too get my Griot products from Aaron at Outmotoring.

    I get my Girot's products at Girot's Garage in Tacoma.

    It is definitely worth visiting, it's about a half an hour from my house.

    I get most of my main polishing stuff from Prima in addition to the QD (Hydro) and glass cleaner (Clarity). Their Epic synthetic wax is a awesome base wax that last a long time

    I like a carnuaba wax look so I have tried Griot's Best in Show on top of the Epic. Very nice, you have to watch your application as it dries real quick as with most of the higher quality carnauba's I've tried. Zymol is prob the best so far

    Pretty much anything that Prima does not make I fill it in with Griot's.

    Besides the Wheel Cleaner their plastic cleaner is alos very good

    Let's not forget OG's Black and Pre-Wow

    Any furhter and I will have totally derailed my own post! :eek6:
