HOW-TO WASH YOUR CAR

SUDS IS THE WORD

Griot's Garage pH balanced washes provide rich suds for a quality clean and lubrication to protect your vehicle's surface while removing contaminants. Washing frequently is essential to maintaining that showroom new appearance.

TRADITIONAL HOSE AND BUCKET

Pour the appropriate Griot’s Garage wash into their Ultimate Car Wash Bucket and dilute with recommended quantity of water. Using one of their many quality wash mitts or pads clean from the top down. Rinse and gather suds frequently to release dirt and debris, while picking up more rich lubricating suds. Do not allow car wash solution to dry on the paint surface. Re-soap as necessary, then rinse with a smooth flow of water to promote sheeting and speed up the drying process.

RINSELESS WASH & WAX

Enjoy dramatic water savings and add enduring gloss and protection to the equation with Rinseless Wash & Wax. Simply add 1 ounce to 2 1/2 gallons of water (320:1) in a bucket, soak a Microfiber Wash Pad or microfiber towel in the solution, and glide it across your paint. Then dry immediately using a PFM® Terry Weave Towel. It safely cleans all exterior surfaces, including paint, glass, wheels, door jambs, glass, clear plastic, chrome, trim, rubber, and more.

SPRAY-ON CAR WASH

When traditional bucket washing is not convenient or compliant to local laws Griot's Garage Spray-On Car Wash provides a safe alternative. Simply pre-saturate a Microfiber Plush Edgeless Towel with Spray-On Car Wash, spray a liberal amount onto your vehicle, gently wipe surface in one direction frequently rotating to a clean area of the cloth, and flash dry with a PFM Terry Weave Towel. An average car can be washed in 10 minutes or less.

FOAMING SYSTEM

The BOSS™ Foaming System gives you a thorough wash while helping to prevent wash-induced scratches, adding gloss and protection, and providing a truly gratifying weekend therapy session. The system consists of two washes, a gloss enhancer, and an innovative foam cannon delivery system. Application can be as easy as screwing a bottle of concentrate onto the cannon and letting the foam fly. The liquids have long dwell times but be sure to rinse before the solution dries on your paint. Once you rinse, dry your ride with one of our PFM towels, like the Extra-Large PFM Edgeless Drying Towel, and you're ready for the road.
THE FOUNDATION OF PERFECTION

Prepping reveals completely clean, bare paint and protects delicate surfaces guaranteeing the best possible results with subsequent steps. Things like above-surface contaminants and old wax or sealant residue can drastically effect results in paint correction or future wax or sealant application. Performing a few quick prep steps will assure full performance from products used later and reduce clean up time.
YOUR FAST LANE TO FLAWLESS PAINT

Polishing or correcting the paint removes defects like swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation adding gloss, depth, and clarity to the finish and enabling you to achieve the paint perfection we all strive for. We have developed a wide range of defect removal products and Griot's Garage Random Orbitals provide plenty of options allowing you to adapt to any paint surface, condition, and defect in order to achieve safe, efficient, professional results each and every time.
REFINE YOUR SHINE

Griot's Garage offers several advanced paint protection formulas which address the specific needs of your paint. Each product focuses on a particular paint condition and treats varying degrees of durability, clarity, longevity, and defect removal capability.

NATURAL WAX FORMULA - CARNAUBA

Carnauba-based formulas offer good durability and exceptional clarity and gloss. For those who enjoy waxing and are willing to do it more often to achieve a truly show-stopping appearance, Carnauba-based waxes are a great solution.

SYNTHETIC FORMULAS - SEALANTS

Synthetic formulas typically offer the best and longest lasting protection and are ideal for daily driven vehicles. Synthetic formulas are ideal for those who prefer to wax less often (1 or 2 times per year).

CLEANER WAX OR "ALL-IN-ONE" FORMULAS

These products gently remove light defects, restore gloss and color, and add a durable layer of protection. They offer time-saving convenience during application but they do, however, need to be applied more often, typically 3 or 4 times per year for the best results.

SPRAY WAXES

Adding a quick pop of color and protection, these wax products feature easy spray-on or foam-on application and can be used as part of your drying ritual or as a stand-alone enhancer that extends the time between major waxings.
ROLL WITH PRIDE

Your rolling stock goes a long way in making a good first impression, and they are here to ensure you announce your arrival with conviction. Dull and slimy wheels are big detractors to the look of your ride. Brake dust and road grime are the bad actors and Griot's Garage has developed an extensive lineup of formidable cleaners, tools, and accessories that will break the bond that these tenacious contaminants have on aluminum, steel, or magnesium wheels with chromed, polished or power coated finishes.

Griot's Garage pH Balanced wheel cleaners are designed to attack brake dust and road grime. A quick spray, light agitation, and spray rinse will quickly remove weeks build up.
PERFECTION IS IN THE DETAILS

With so many different types of trim on cars these days it can be hard to know what to use on what and when. Griot's Garage simple to use and understand products will ensure quality results on just about every surface those car designers can think of. They can help reverse the aging process or prevent the aging from happening at all.
CREATE A CLEAN THAT'S CLEAR TO SEE

Road trips, inclement weather, and environmental contaminants can wreak havoc on your car's glass, and having clean, clear glass is a matter of safety as well as aesthetics. Griot's Garage has produced a comprehensive glass care system that includes numerous cleaners, sealants, scrubbers, polishes, and tools you'll need to attain or maintain streak-free clarity.

REMOVE WATERSPOTS AND RESTORE CLARITY

Restore clarity by removing bonded bugs and residue with our Glass Cleaning Clay, then follow up with our Fine Glass Polish and Glass Polishing Pads for quick removal of water spots and mineral deposits. Your glass will feel as smooth as glass should be.

PROTECT AND INCREASE VISIBILITY

Griot's Garage Glass Sealant penetrates deeply into the pores of glass, creating a hydrophobic surface that repels water instantly. With one treatment, your glass will bead water relentlessly and demonstrate improved release of ice, salt, frost, and bug residue for months.

MAINTAIN STREAK-FREE CLARITY

Pairing one of our preferred Window Cleaners with our specially designed PFM® Dual Weave Glass or Lint-Free Towels will quickly deliver streak-free clarity.
