Are the CR spotless and the Griots about the same ?

I did some research before pulling the trigger on the Griots and couldn't find anything substantial difference to justify to the cost of the CR system...I am very happy with the Griots system. They make excellent products.

I went with the CR because it came with the cart (it was $400 at Costco at the time), and I had the peace of mind that if it didn't work I could have just returned it.

Our water quality and PH levels for washing are good and I use CR. Had it for years and am happy with it.

This thread brought back good memories. This was taken right after the Smokies spring 2016 trip. Foam wasn't very sticky on the nano coating. House is sold and car is no more. Looking forward to new versions of both.

Thanks to Haku, to motivate me. I got out and wash my car after spending the day at AMP with him and Sean.

woah woah woah. What is this elvish magic you speak of? Wash my car and not have to towel dry? I have never heard of this. I am going to have to look into it. That's literally the part I hate most about washing my car.

Adam's polishes foam gun on regular garden hose, no where near as cool as the foam cannons attached to a pressure washer

best $300 i've ever spent

the best two DI systems are either Griots or CR Spotless, can't go wrong with either one.

the CR spotless system is a game changer. I could never go back. the key is to use it for all water that hits the car, including not only the wash buckets but also the water you sprinkle on it before the wash.

it's easy to see which cars in this thread have the pressure washer foam cannon vs. the hose method. the pressure washer steps up the foam big time. I find it's too much of a pain tho, so I don't bother even though I have the pressure washer cannon. I might pick up a hose-mount foam sprayer just for something extra though.
