Griot's Garage Best of Show Wax for Car Detailing and Polishing, Carnauba-Packed Wax Coating for High-Gloss Shine and Paint Protection, 11171, 16oz

I have been a Nu-Finish user for many years and after reading a number of positive testimonies about Griots I decided to give it a try. It's easier to apply/remove and the shine is truly amazing. Not sure about longevity yet but it's so easy to use I don't mind a more frequent application. It truly took our car finish to the next level!

I've been using this for years on all my vehicles; both for its ability to repel water and to look great. It's very easy to apply and remove, provided you install it properly. The key is absolutely to NOT USE TOO MUCH. If you apply it too thick its a pain to get off. I use a Griots Garage 6.5" random orbital with the red foam pad. For a mostly garage kept car, that is somewhat regularly washed, it will last for a year. On my 300ZX (black car in pictures), it will last 2+ years and still be super hydrophobic and look great. The Mini Cooper and Volvo Wagon in the pictures were both stored outside for years with faded and oxidized paint. The pictures shown were after a wash and wax. It really does work wonders and is my go-to wax.

Excellent product. Easier to remove than most waxes/polishes. It does last long in the Florida sun. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I had forgotten how careful one must be with the small cracks, nooks, and crannies when applying a natural Carnauba Wax, like Grigot's "Best In Show". If carnauba wax gets in tiny cracks and crannies, the wax can get hard and crusty quickly, and it then takes a fair amount of time and effort to remove it, sometimes requiring special tools. Often the old standard QTip is not enough... In addition, if you use a buffing wheel, and overbuff the black plastic molding once or twice, carnauba stains black plastic molding, and requires more remedial effort. I was careful, but this happened to two small areas when applying "Best in Show" on my vehicle, and I was lucky I noticed the over-buff quickly. It took two attempts to remove the stain, before it was completely eliminated. Years ago, I had switched to Maguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax because this hydrophobic polymer is just so effortless to apply, and buff. If you happen to get some Meguiars where you should not, it is easy to wipe or QTip out, and it does not stain the black plastic panels on your car. The improvement of the lustre of the vehicle's paint, that resulted from applying "Best In Show" was not enough of an upgrade in lustre over the Meguair's Ultimate for me to justify my extra time and effort, in applying the product. "Best In Show" did bring out a great lustre and depth of the paint, and I hope it will last the year for a garaged car, as the Meguair's did. So if your into Carnauba, this is a good one, but for me, I opt for the "path of least resistance" these days. I will attempt to update longevity of the "shine" and "beading", next spring and summer.

Very slick when hand-buffed, and reminds me of Polyglycoat that car dealers used to apply in the 70-80s before manufacturers started using clear coat paints. I suspect this product uses much newer technology, though. It feels like quality when it's being wiped on. Instructions say to let it cure for 20-30 minutes after applying. but I'd say it's more like an hour, at least at a garage temperature of 65 degrees F or lower. I actually forgot to wipe off a section, but it came off easily 5-6 hours later! That means you can do an entire vehicle, instead of a few square feet, without worrying about the wax setting up, getting crusty, and being very hard to remove. I'm looking forward to seeing how it holds up on my old truck compared to the well-known paste wax brands, like Meguiars and Mothers.

Does everything it says. Easy application. Easy Shine!

I have tried a lot of the top rated graphene and ceramic wax. I still got smears on my white car that will not come off.good thing it an old car. Now to my newer black truck the griot wax gave me a mirror like finish after thinking all waxes are the same. I dont clay my cars first, just wash and wax as i like to wax my cars often i cant clay my cars for every wax, griots gave me the best shine with no prep.

I've used Best of Show for over 25 years. It's great wax, easy to apply and buff off. A little goes a long way.

いろいろカーワックスを使って来ましたが、石油系溶剤を使用していない物が無くて、たどり着いたのがグリオズベストショウワックス施工後の輝きが違います。

Easy to apply and wipe off and lasts a long while. We did both our vehicles and trailer, they all look like new again! Love this product!
