I`ve got this Griots Garage $15 GC that has been sitting in my drawer for almost 9 months already.....While the catalogs are pretty, everything in there I could get cheaper somewhere else.



Anything in there worth $15...

jsoto,



Griot`s has some coold stuff. Their Car Wash is pretty good, their window cleaner used with a microfiber towel is great.



Just check out their web site. Most everything is good, just over priced.



Cheers,

If you have leather interior their leather car scent is nice (6.95)

How about the scrub brush for tires (7.95)

Hey, It`s a gift certificate- blow it on something you wouldn`t normally buy. Something fun! :bounce

jsoto- Not sure on the price (can`t find my catalog) but I say it`s an easy choice: get the boar`s hair detail brushes (the small ones that look like paint brushes). They`re PERFECT for cleaning nooks and crannies- gas filler pockets, door jambs, etc. I agree with jsoto, especially about their Car Wash (I believe it`s the best in the business), but $15 doesn`t go too far towards a gallon (most of their products are around $25-30/gallon).

Get 15 8 oz. empty finger pump spray bottles. They are excellent bottles for dispensing your favorite products that are bought in bulk. They are $1 each. I just bought 25 of them!

I second the suggestion for the boars hair brushes. They are great.

A lot of people say you can buy the Griots stuff cheaper else where, but I have only found that to be true for a small number of items. Many items I am yet to see anywhere.

Can`t say many bad things about Griot`s products. I just spent a $100 gift cert. there I had...and an additional $100 or so. :D Can`t wait for the delivery truck!



For $15 or so...get their Rubber and Vinyl Dressing and the 3 finger wash mits. Both are probably my favorite products!
