Griot's Garage BOSS Foaming System Review!

[@Melvin-belvin]

I’ve been using this griots foam/polygloss combo for awhile now. Absolutely love it. The best part about polygloss is it’s anti-static properties. My car stays dust free far longer than if I were to apply a wax/sealer by hand.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

I absolutely love it also. That is great information. Thank you

[@TheKelvala]

This is awesome! I cannot wait to get this, thanks! This is less than 1 detail job and I have 3 cars and a truck camper to wash. SWEET videos!

[@ldtriton]

Great review! I love using Poly Gloss when I'm pressed for time. I wonder if anyone else does this trick since I don't see any videos on it... 🤔 With this product in particular since you don't really need a drying aid, try disconnecting the hose from the pressure washer and running free flowing water over the whole vehicle. This takes 95% of the water completely off the panels cutting drying time down to seconds with hardly any surface contact. I actually do this every time I wash any of my vehicles even if I plan on using a drying aid. Its extremely effective with the Poly Gloss.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Thanks! Sounds like a cool little trick. Thanks for the info

[@daytona5.722]

I really like how the cannon can attach right to the bottle! That poly gloss is exactly what I'm looking for to provide some easy protection to my travel trailer. Great video!

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Daytona 5.7 Man PolyGloss would be perfect for your travel trailer! I’ve also heard it works great on the exterior of the house like windows and siding. Thanks brother

[@Phriendlymd]

Very nice! I was very surprised that a foam could leave protection. Nice job Fab! That towel is impressive too!

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Thank you! Yep foam it on and rinse and it leaves a good protection.

[@PapaSmurf918Detail]

Man I have been waiting for this one!! Haha this is a 2 thumbs up LEGIT setup. That Poly Gloss is insane. I literally was just looking at that drying towel in the new monthly Griots catalog I got Haha. Awesome review FAB!!! 👌👍✊

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Legit for sure! 😂 The polygloss for me makes protecting the car easier then anything I have ever tried. The drying towel is awesome! Thanks brother

[@jaykid007]

Those products work very well. Like that poly gloss for sure. Does that poly glass have wax in it? Nice video as usual Fab! 💯👍🤙🔥

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

They work great! Yes it has polymer waxes in it. Thanks

[@SWAGURA]

Foaming surface wash is honestly one of the best matiance soap on the market atm, barley dont need to agitate it ACTUALLY removes the dirt off the panel, it gets the surface about...95% clean without contact wash. At 50 bucks a gallon it's worth it.

[@ldtriton]

...and if you wait for a 25% off code day from Autogeek or Autopia you can scoop it up for $37.50. Exceptional deal!

[@chavezcustomdetailing9540]

I have found a product from Superior Detailing named Rage that you can use it as a pre wash just like the Griots surface wash. It is efficient and effective just have to go to your local Orielys and have them order for you. It only costs 30$ a gallon and with a dilution ratio of 4:1 It's perfect in my own world.

[@SWAGURA]

@@chavezcustomdetailing9540 I'm certain rage will strip your protection.

[@chavezcustomdetailing9540]

@@SWAGURA yeah but with all these spray sealants on the market re-applying protection is easier and enjoyable in my opinion.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

I agree it is a fantastic soap. Even with the dilution ratios a 35 oz bottle goes a long way.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

AppleTechGuy2006 Thank you I really appreciate comments like this.

[@MyGuyKirby]

That is the best kit from Griots, price is excellent for all that they include. We did use their iron remover direct to their cannon, works great to foam the surface. Can do same for engine cleaner. That towel can hold up to 7-pounds or a bit more. Is this the best cannon, no, but it does a great job and quality build. And in the kit price, a smart buy. Disclaimer: I attend Autogeeks Roadshow class last summer in Griots facility and with Mike Phillips teaching and the GG staff. I bought the kit last October.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

I agree! It’s not the best cannon but very high quality made. I have heard that’s a good class. I took a class at the Griot’s Manufacturing and distribution facility here in Indianapolis a few years ago with Jeff Brown. It was a very informative class.

[@bstewartexecutivecarcare6953]

Griots is my personal favorite line of products. However I do try MANY other products and use things like VRT on my tires as I don't particularly care for Griots tire stuff. Nice review 👍✌️🇺🇸

[@Erix7810]

Thanks for the video. I have a boss cannon, but I’m curious, what psi and GPM is your electric power washer? I don’t seem to have the same results you have.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Erix7810 I have a Karcher K1700 pressure washer. 1700 PSI and 1.2 GPM. Water quality has a lot to do with foam. Hard water really hurts the foam. I bought an RV water filter from Walmart and it really helped my foam. It just screws onto the garden hose. Also make sure the knob is all the way to the negative side.

[@_goodwin10k73]

[@chicagomike2111]

Great video Fab! I am also super impressed with these two products. I have been using them for about 6 months and can say I wont wash with out them. I use Adams detail spray as a drying aid and then a coat of Bead maker. It has been so good on my Black Town car that I have not applied the ceramic coating I purchased yet.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

[@jamietyler3377]

What Karcher pressure washer u have what is the psi n what would you recommend for cars and drive way..

[@RCFlyer85]

Should have gotten the SunJoe SPX-4000 pressure washer... I got mine 2 weeks ago on sale at Wal-Mart for $120. I feel it would do a lot better than that Karcher since it's selectable PSI and 1.7 gpm

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

RCFlyer85 I watched all of Obsessed Garage’s pressure washer series videos. The Karcher K1700 was by far the best as far as pressure and actual GPM other then obviously Kranzle. I’m really happy with it and it cost about the same as the Sunjoe. In fact you can find it on sale sometimes for $99!

[@Bean-sz7sr]

Good video! What gun are you using? I'm having a hard time finding a hose and short gun that will work with my electric pressure washer. I have one that works with my gas pressure washer but it will not work on my new AR electric one. Thanks!! 👍👍

Rlph580 delga Thank you! Yes it is part of the kit.

[@kbstoy1913]

FYI A pressure washer featuring a minimum of 1.8 GPM flow and 1,100 psi or 1,980 CU (Cleaning Units = gpm x psi) is required for the cannon to function as intended. Warning: Check to ensure the tool is compatible with your pressure washer’s operating specifications. Must not exceed the maximum pressure, flow, and temperatur

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

I appreciate this information. I have seen this pressure washer produce thick foam on other videos. The water where I live is extremely hard and I think that has a lot to do with it. Regardless the foam is good enough for me and works as intended.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Chris Veach Polygloss works great as a topper to extend the base protections life. No you can spray it on right after rinsing the wash off.

Try using Rage from Superior Detailing. All you have to do is order it from your local orielys for $30 a gallon. It's a damn good product to use for a pre wash.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

I have never used reset but I have used Surface wash a few times and it’s good stuff.

[@ronbenit3060]

It looks like you switched pressure washers again. Can you tell us why you are no longer using the Ryobi and what is this new yellow washer you are now using?

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Well the original electric Ryobi crapped out just shy of a year so I returned it and got the gas unit. I love the gas pressure washer but it’s to loud for videos and has to much power to wash cars. So I kept the gas for around the house and bought a Karcher k1700 that was recommended by Matt Morman at Obsessed Garage. I really like this Karcher. It’s quiet and has just enough power for washing cars.

[@markevanado9463]

What sidze is the orifice that comes with it? Not the 1.1

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

It comes with a 1.2 installed and a 1.1 if you need to switch it out

[@cbruno12180]

Hey brian have u tried these both in your mtm yet?? I use these both all the time and its amazin i dont even do contact wash anymore unless its really neccesary... the polygloss is proven best product wax and wash product on the markey...

How did you set up that short gun on an electric pressure washer? The fittings are always off for me

I bought a hose with 3/8 fittings. Some pressure washers you can’t do it unfortunately. If you look in my Amazon store I have the hose, wand and fittings needed.

[@RCFlyer85]

There's always adapters to get the setup you want. I bought a short gun that came with 2 wand extensions and the adapter I needed for my SunJoe pressure washer

[@scottdelacruz2353]

Can you let me know what pressure washer and the gun you are useing and the hose you said

You can find them in my Amazon store there is a link in the description of the video. If not it’s the Karcher K1700 pressure washer, Uberflex 50ft Hose and MTM SG28 wand.

about 3 minutes in as the details got started, were swapping out a 1.1 mm something for some reason that wasn't explained, not sure what or why you were swapping something out, why it's necessary, or if all parts included.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Tom W5VLT Sorry I wasn’t more clear. If you have a low gallons per minute pressure washer you swap the 1.2mm orifice with a 1.1 to get better foam. Most electric pressure washers need the 1.1. It comes with this foam cannon but not all foam cannons come with the orifice.
