Re: Griot's Garage

This is why it's important to consider the source before taking action.

I do agree with the last sentence and applies to some of the speculation in this thread. No company, even Meg's cannot control what some "salesman" say about their product...just talk to any car salesman.

A salesman may taint a potential purchaser's desire to make a purchase the product but the product itself is affected. That is, if Griots makes a good wash, it stil is a good wash.

Re: Griot's Garage

From what I remember alot of Griots products are just re-badged products from someone else that they sell. I have used a few of their products and I was impressed with the speed shine and the long-lasting tire gel. Also from what I understand their DA is a unit that is made in Tawain or something. I am not 100% sure on this information but I think what appeals to many consumers about that company is their very nice catalog and how simple it is to purchase what you need since it explains so much and makes it simple to the average consumer.

I have used their Speed Shine (very good) , Spray on Wax (Good, but UQW is world's better IMO), clay bar (one of the best I tried) and Glass Cleaner (likes it but I realized I can make the same product for 1/10 of the cost) That said, they do have nice products but are on the expensive side, especially compared to Meguiar's products.

I agree that at shows like this, the salesmen are sometimes the only tangible link to customers. Improper techniques and attitudes can sour the company in many customer's minds.

Re: Griot's Garage

Yeah, I picked up their catalog. It basically has every product they have with a lengthy description. That would be cool if Meguiar's or ADS made something like that

Re: Griot's Garage

i saw some similar things at the Chicago Auto Show, this one salesman for Pink Wax claimed his wax didnt require the use of a claybar. then he tried to sell me it for 20 bucks and i kindly said no thank you, i didnt want to be rude by telling him his information is incorrect, then he probably would have thought i was some punk 17 year old kid who dosent know anything

I alway call people out on bad info. Your age doesn't matter. You should have set him straight and embarrassed him.
They are Snake Oil Salesmen!
Always stand up for what's right and don't let people put you down because of your age.

Re: Griot's Garage

Time to step in here and remind everyone of our our forum rules that don't allow bashing people, products or companies.

Forum Rules

4. No bashing any company or their products. No bashing other people. If you can't say anything nice about someone, then don't say anything at all.

It can be hard to form your words and thoughts in a way to discuss a topic in a way that doesn't bash but do try...


Thanks!
