Griot's Garage Best of Show Carnauba Wax — 16oz High-Gloss Liquid Wax for Deep Shine & Paint Protection

Griot's Garage Best of Show Wax is a carnauba-rich liquid wax that delivers a deep, mirror-like gloss and durable surface protection in one easy application.

This premium liquid car wax is formulated to enhance color, clarity, and depth while providing a protective coating that bonds to automotive paint. Designed for enthusiasts and weekend detailers, the 16oz Best of Show Wax brings out a concours-level finish with minimal elbow grease: apply, let cure, and buff off. The updated wipe-off formula makes removal quick and streak-free, and the high carnauba content produces a warm, wet-look shine that improves visual appeal and repels light contaminants.

How does this wax improve paint appearance and gloss?

Best of Show Wax uses a high concentration of carnauba combined with rich oils to amplify color saturation and reflectivity. The result is a deeper-looking finish that resembles freshly painted, wet-to-the-touch surfaces.

• High carnauba blend for warm, wet-look gloss
• Oils that enhance depth and clarity of color
• Produces a mirror-like reflection under sunlight or show lighting

Is it easy to apply and remove for at-home detailers?

The formula is updated to allow fast wipe-off in a single pass, reducing the effort required for cleanup. You can apply by hand with a foam applicator or with an orbital polisher, making it flexible for different experience levels and detailing setups.

• Works on both warm and cool panels without hazing
• Apply in a cross-hatch motion, allow to cure, then buff with a soft cloth
• Removes cleanly for faster, less-fussy detailing sessions

How does it protect paint from the elements?

While primarily a high-gloss finishing wax, the carnauba and oils form a thin, sacrificial coating that helps repel light contaminants and water. It adds a layer of surface protection that can reduce the rate at which pollutants and bird droppings etch the clearcoat.

• Bonding liquid coating helps shield paint from dust and light debris
• Water-shedding properties improve bead and sheeting action
• Ideal as a finishing layer after washing and claying

Will this product work on motorcycles and older cars?

Yes — the formula is versatile enough for motorcycles, classic cars, and modern daily drivers. It enhances both single-stage and clear-coated finishes, making it a practical choice across vehicle types.

• Safe for clear coats and traditional single-stage paints
• Goes on cool or warm surfaces without streaking
• Suitable for show cars and regular weekend maintenance
