Griot's Garage Premium Carnauba Paste Wax

I got my catalog last night. Would love to see how it fares. I love the look of their Best of Show wax, but, it is a pain to work with. This might be the answer.
 
My first thought was it must be the same wax as in their carnuba stick but they make it sound like it is new.
 
My impression is that it's designed to be like Pinnacle Souveran in ease of use and performance. If so...and it gives the same results it should be a killer product...especially at that price.

As much as I'd like to try it I need to use up the Best of Show and Carnauba Wax Stick I already have...as well as some Souveran.

All three of those are superior products...it will be interesting to see how the new Griot's wax is. I hope someone uses it soon and gives it a review.
 
For some reason my first opinion was - Meg's NXT :eek: Actually, my birthday is coming up this weekend so I'm going to put it on the list. I'm down for a new wax. :)

its on the AG page now, i find their description of the wax kind of off, i highly doubt it takes 1oz of a paste wax to wax a car. says you can get up to 14 applications from a can i'm betting you will get double that.

Maybe it's like an EULA and you only have a license to apply to no more than 14 different vehicles. :dunno: You can do multiple coats but once you apply it to the 15th vehicle, the Feds will lock you up! :bat:

That's similar to Souveran. That takes less than an ounce to wax a car and the directions say it should get 30-35 cars done from a can. It sounds more and more like the new Griot's is designed to be a Souveran-killer.
 
I'm pretty curious about this one actually. Griot's offers a complete kit and I wonder if Autogeek will do the same? I absolutely love the Griot's Wax Removal Towels and a Polishin Pal would be neat to have. Hmm....
 
It doesn't sound great to me...if you leave it on too long you can't buff it off and have to apply more wax to remove it??

That's necessary to do when you either 1) apply the wax too thick; 2) apply the wax in high heat and humidity or 3) both. It's not just Griot's wax that can do that but many, many carnauba waxes. It's pretty much one of the characteristics of carnauba. Some wax makers add other chemicals to reduce that...some more successfully than others. I've found Griot's Best of Show Wax gives a beautiful appearance and is pretty durable, but it can be a bit of a pain if you don't use it exactly according to instructions. The results are worth the effort, though.

Look at Souveran...it's very, very easy to use and take off...but it has little durability. That may be one of the trade-offs for the superb appearance...short life. I'm guessing the new Griot's is trying to split the difference between durability and appearance.
 
:iagree: Spot on. Use any of the carbnubies wrong and its work time--we all know that. The Best of show actually works best [no flames here] if I mist the surface with some water...and work it till you can't see it. I then go back for a layering. Thats what they recco and it works. We Ami's like the haze...guess it always made us feel like it was ON there. But the thinner BoShow works nice and lasts when suuuper thin. Am anxious to try the new wax. It's going to be on its way this week.
 
I will probably give this stuff a try this spring. Gonna leave the FK1000p on until then.
 
We got some through a "be the first to try offer." It smells great It's easier to use than the Carnuba Stick. We haven't used it much. I will post a better review in a day or two.

I'm looking forward to your review. Saying it's easier to use than the Carnauba Wax Stick is something...that's one of the easiest to use quality waxes I've ever tried...and it gives a great finish as well.

Best of Show can be a little tricky to remove if you apply it too thick. If you use it sparingly, it won't require any elbow grease to remove. If you apply it too thick, try spritzing each panel with Griot's Spray Wax as it will help to soften the wax, making removal much easier. :props:
 
I must say i m a sucker for detailing products,
i was so excited when i saw this new wax last night i couldnt sleep!
this is definitely in my NY wish list, and it will be sweet if Autogeek can give me one to review i will shoot some photos for Autogeek to post in product page to promote it lol
 
Damn you!. LOL.

I just used the majority of my gift certificate (a day ago) and this wasn't available then.

I'll be picking some up for sure.
