Default 3M Swirl Mark Remover ROCKS!

Pics to follow later on but this stuff for sure is awesome for dark colored cars. Pissed I ran out of time and didn't get to put my final coat of wax on (oh well another day)

Off to get ready for the WCTT Xmas party

Yes it does! Meg's Scratch-X + 3M SMR = no scratches. Well, almost. :-)

Default Griot's garage products too...

I suggest Griot's garage various paint prep/wax processes with their orbital buffer. From black to white and everything in between, it is the best that I've found. Using all of their microfiber drying and polishing cloths also heightens the paint brilliance! I've been buying tools and detailing "stuff" from him since 1991.
They are great people!<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com">http://www.griotsgarage.com</a</li></ul>

Griots stuff is way overpriced for what you get.

What do you use, that is just as good for less?
He has a satsfaction guarantee on everything.If you have purchased from them in the past and are'nt happy, you should return the items for a credit. I've tried lots of stuff in all my years of owning cars, and I have not found anything that works. Some are good,and some are great but not for the "**** retentive" like myself.
I know it sounds like I work for them but I am just a VERY satisfied customer.

Default One Grand stuff mostly, plus a bit from P21S and Menzerna.

Alot of their stuff is way overpriced tho. They've got a hose nozzle in there for something like $60 that I found locally for $20. He doesn't make the stuff, he finds OEMs that do and then resells it with a pretty sizable markup. I have ordered from them in the past and I've been happy with what I got but I typically use their catalog for browsing and then find the OEM to get a better price.

Good call! I thought that alot of their stuff comes from Germany? I'm not familiar with Menzerna. Where does it come from?

Menzerna and P21S are both made in Germany, One Grand is made in USA

Default good call. i hate it when specialty places like this sell the same sh*t for 200% markups...

and think that we're that stupid to buy it. either that or, there are tons of lazy people out there that don't even know better. yes, Griots does carry some unique things...but the more you dig into other places, you can source out quite a bit..or just by doing a Google search.
