You could repost it on the Autopia forum.

Post it over on Autopia. We are brand blind and can talk about all kinds of detailing supplies. I visit Detailing World and the number of waxes they have amazes me.

Re: Experience with Griots Garage Premium Carnuba Paste Wax
I enjoyed working with Premium Carnauba Paste, I did a 2.5 month durability test on the side door and it did hold up better than I thought it would. Solid performer, I probably would prefer a 8-9.5oz tin to match closer to the Best of Show size and a reduction in price out of Premium but I wasn't disappointed. Very easy to work with, great finish and beading, smells extremely good. Felt a little more lubricated than Best of Show when applying it, seemed to outlast it in the durability test as well. The great thing about Griot's is the whole lineup seems very solid now, complement the waxes with Best of Show Detailer and you've got a great combo.
I did a video to showcase the water behavior and durability test compared to Best of Show Paste:

Incredible video. Tons of info.
Thanks for this, man.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Experience with Griots Garage Premium Carnuba Paste Wax
Hello Loach. Excellent video. Thanks. Like I previously stated, I'm reasonably sure I will like the initial results of the GG's Premium Carnuba Paste wax. Nothing looks better on black than Carnuba in my opinion. I am mostly trying to find out if it will last any longer than any other comparable carnuba wax. If you'r getting about 2.5 months...that's pretty good! I have been using Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax and I love the initial look and finish it provides. However, the longevity sucks. I'm lucky to get about a month out of it before it has noticeably lost most of it's shine and glow. I do routinely apply a carnuba based quick detailer in the hopes of extending the look, but still only getting about one month. I'm sure that "technically" the wax is still present on the surface and offering some protection. But, when the shine wears off I think most would agree that it's time to re-wax in order to get back that initial glow.
For the price, I am hoping the GG's product would last longer, but 2.5 months is ok I suppose.
Question about your forum "handle". Loach? Any relation to the OH-6 Helicopter?

It's interesting, isn't it? It's not at all unusual for someone over there to have a fridge full of waxes. Lotsa short-run, custom blends too. Different strokes and all...

It does seem a little on the pricier side, is it worth the "premium"?
I did originally post this in the Griot's forum section but surprisingly, no reviews of it.
In that price range I would choose Collinite 915 over the Griots everyday of the week. 915 is also one of the most durable Nubas out there.

Re: Experience with Griots Garage Premium Carnuba Paste Wax
I remember reading and buying some of the waxes...no disappointments, that is for sure
I’d suggest a repost with a continuation of reviews unless Changes have been made to the wax.
It was an incredible post!!!
Would like to hear your thoughts on PA liquid waxes, the paste will get pricey quick
