no personal experience yet, but the Griots guy is local and a really good dude. I've heard nothing but good from them.

I have a full Griot's Garage system with both their G8 and G9 orbital D/A buffers and use their BOSS paint correction system for concours preparation. You really can't go wrong with any of their products and their customer service is excellent.

I live near Tacoma, Washington, where they have their flagship retail store which puts on a multitude of car events all year long. Last March 30th, I arranged for Griot's to host a concours preparation Tech Ed for my local PCA region. The goal was to see if and how they could take my already clean and very shiny 914 LE, fresh from an auto museum display to the next level...and they aced it in three steps.
