What a fun way to spend the afternoon on a beautiful Fall-like day. I couldn't ask for better company than Bruce, Marc, Cubby, and Richard Griot (founder and owner.) Bruce was particularly happy that Richard spent so much time with us. Yes, Marc, I now have professional wheel care products. I also have a stand mixer, fondue pot, and a bicycle.

Here are some pics. Oh, Cubby had a little trouble finding some of the things he was looking for and found the staff VERY helpful. He just brings out the best in people!

THE FALL DRIVE WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!!!

We had a lot of fun @ Griot's Garage open house today. A huge warehouse full of car care products...it doesn't get any better. Marc, made good use of the free food provided. It was a real honor to meet Richard Griot,a great guy.
Here's a picture of one of the "Big Ass Fans" in the warehouse;

Default Griot's Spray-On car wash part #11285

I used the car wash kit last night on our Corvette. It worked well, the car wasn't too dirty but it did get rained on last weekend @ BobFest. It will work well when traveling, attending car shows. I haven't tryed it on a dark colored car as of yet.

Cubby, have you used your new 3" random orbital?

The plastic polish (part #11186) works really well...and the scissors (part #77596).
