Welcome to my life’s work…

We introduced our first Random Orbital in 1992 and what you are holding in your 
hands is four generations of refinements that embody the Griot’s Garage mantra of 

“striving for perfection.” I have worked tirelessly 
on perfecting and refining the correct combination 
of machine, pads, and liquids to produce results 
far better than you could do by hand or with 
other paint correcting systems. Our full array of 
products is designed to help you create an effective, 
satisfying, and most importantly, fun car care 
experience. Let me say “thank you” for putting your 
trust in us to deliver spectacular results. You’ll soon 
be creating a mirror-like finish with little to no prior 
experience… and having a lot of fun in the process. 
Thank you for your purchase… and as always,  
Have fun in your garage!
