I called Griots today about something else. I asked if they had any samples of this wax. Much to my disappointment, they do not. Will just have to order some.

Premium Carnauba Paste Wax – I’d say many of the characteristics of this wax on how it looks on the car compare to the Carnauba Wax Stick. It does have an extra month or so of durability, but the hydrophobic technology is what really sets it apart. The tighter water-beading and reduced surface tension is very impressive. This will probably replace Carnauba Wax Stick as the primary wax on my car.
So, if you’re looking specifically for a concours wax, I’d probably still lean toward Best of Show Wax since it has excellent color, depth, and clarity; depth being key. But, every car is different, so trying different options and seeing what works on your will always produce the best results.
Hope this helps!

Thats right from Griot's

This is what Im thinking about too. I think its definitely incorrect

assuming you get 28 applcations out of a can, Even if you apply as often as 4 app per year, this can lasts 7 years. Twice a year, 14 years. Pretty good $ per year value.

I hear you on that one. When I was reading the catalog that brought back nightmares from the best of show wax for me. I threw away a nearly full bottle of that and then a couple years later someone tried to give me another for free and I ran screaming.

But they don't say it will do that just under specific conditions. They say if you leave it on too long you will have to reapply to be able to remove it, period.
For me at least, there are too many brainless waxes out there that I don't have to live in fear of miscalculating the drying time.
For them to list that right in the description is both good on their part that they are upfront but it also still brings back the night sweats that best of show left me with.
