...mostly Griots... but definitely a mix...
Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax
Griots Ceramic Speed Shine
Griots Best in Show Detailer
Griots Spray on Car Wash
Boss line of paint correction(s)
Also have some Gtechniq ceramic on my wheels
Use Gyeon prep for a surface cleaner
Invisible Glass on windows followed by Ceramic Speed Shine

Take care of three different cars... all different colors and different manufacturers.. they like different products.

In today's age, doing ANYTHING yourself is better than the alternative.

Anybody read Classic Motorsports? The latest issue has a top detailer, Tim McNair, discussing the Griot's products. Besides their support for the BMW CCA, I know Griot's very generously supports a local Concours. With so many products so very similar, I'll give the nod to Griot's.

In the detailing world, when a company gets too big, they start transitioning into a marketing company and the products usually suffer because that's when the innovation stops and the gimmicks start.

P+S is my go to for quality products that are affordable especially when purchased in bulk.
What is P + S?

It is P&S actually. See psdetailproducts.com. They make some great products at usually very reasonable prices.

One thing that has not been mentioned in this thread is that no one brand excels at all product types. No one says you have to stick with only one brand. Look at the reviews and comparison tests and pick the best for each task.

I know Adam's is known for great customer service, but I'm wondering if their products and much better/different than Griots.
They’re pretty similar. Griots has a larger selection of products across their line of offerings, Adams kinda newer to the game but I have used and own both Adam’s and griots and use both when washing and detailing my car. Both are great can’t go wrong

I use Griots for buckets, mits, fine tools, etc and sometimes buffing items.

Wash and paint detailing, leather care and tire dressing is Zaino Brothers.

Ceramic applications, wheel cleaners are from Adam’s Polish.
