Review on πŸš— Complete Starter Car Care Kit: Griot's Garage 11131 for Ultimate Car Detailing by Dale Sundet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The 20 year old car was brought back to life.

Love Griot's Garage products. I only took 3 out of 4 steps to restore the paint on my 1996 Land Cruiser FJ80. I washed, painted and used Complete Compound (not included in this kit) along with my Griot's 6" rotating mechanical buffer to bring the paint back to life on my car. I thought my car was cream - no, it's white. The detergent worked well, but the tone made a big difference: it smoothed out the paintwork, removed the accumulated dirt on the paintwork and began to return the car to the white it really is. Then I used the Complete Compound with a 6" mechanical rotary buffer: wow! After I finished the hood I realized this is amazing. There was a clear line where the car was cream and where the car was white. See the pictures - on the first one I glued the car. Look at the reflection to see how the light is distorted on the left (untouched) compared to the right (tone). In the second photo after buffing the hood with Complete Compound, you can clearly see that the untouched fender is off-white and the polished hood is white. I also used a wheel rim cleaner which did the job perfectly. My final step is a best in show wax which I think works flawlessly and makes my 20 year old car look like new again. I still have a lot of product left to finish my other car.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • High price
