In "The Guru Report" Griot's Garage Carnuba Paste Wax was rated #16 and Griot's Best of Show rated # 21 out of the 46 waxes/polymer sealants rated.

The Guru Report is regarded by many as the ultimate comparison when it comes to these products. They rated all 46 using multiple criteria including things like water beading/sheeting, shine, gloss, depth, clarity, reflectivity, slickness, and color enhancement.

In case anyone wanted to know who came in first in this ultimate shootout, all you need to do is look at my sig. line and listen to Yoda!

Promised to give results concerning Griot's products.....After washing car several times w/dawn to remove wax,using the clay bar,hand polishing several surface imperfections,and a final wax
I was amased at the results.These products produced a very
high gloss that left the redline red noticeably deeper in color.
After having finished for several hours we received a driving rain which lasted through the night.I noticed the next day no water spots,and very little dust had settled on the car as well.
I decide to use a polish and wax because I didn't want to coat the paint with a sealer.Also found out a majority of the concourse show cars use Griot's products exclusively,including the alltime winingest Ferari in concourse history,I can now strongly recommend these products to anyone interested based on the gerat results they gave me.
