Re: Griots best of show paste wax / carnuba wax thoughts
What are you using now? The reason I ask is because I have so many waxes now that it is almost laughable. I gave away of lot more than I have, too. For paste wax I've settled in on 476s and Fuzion. Why? Because they both work in all weather conditions and are very forgiving, they are easy on and easy off and most importantly they are both pretty durable.
I have many other liquid and paste waxes now, all of them competent, all of them pretty decent, all of them providing varying levels of protection.

I used it this past weekend. very easy to work with. I watched the you-tube videos of applying it in a criss cross pattern. worked like a charm. very easy to take off. My Mustang has Deep Impact blue paint. made it very deep and rich looking. liked it so much I applied a second coat next day. Car looks amazing

Well I was using Mothers Carnuba cleaner wax. Till I got on here and was told everytime I put wax on I am striping off old wax and putting on new. I tried Mothers straight carnuba. very hard to take off. Was looking for something That would protect against the intense Florida sun, and maybe help against spotting. never fails in the summer Car looks great. I drive to work. Sun comes car gets hot out gets very hot. then we have a 10-15 minute down pour and the sun comes back out and bakes rain on hood, roofm, trunk. saw very good reviews on Griots and says sheets rain off so I figgured Id try it

Every car is different, every weather condition is different, etc. One of the most durable based on popularity here is Collinite 476s paste. I use it. If I put it on too thick it is a beast to remove, requiring quick detailer to get rid of the streaks. If I put it on very thin it wipes off very easily. It can be applied in direct sunlight, too.

Sounds like this car is a prime candidate for

I will check into it. Thanks very much. Ya know the Griots Garage best in show wax did a great job. Car looks wet. very happy. I even poured a small cup of water to see if the "Beads right up AND ROLLS RIGHT OFF" claim is true. passed cup test but the real test is the rain test. Its a doubled edge sword I want it to rain so i can see the results. but yet it looks so good I dont want it to rain.
