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

Best of Show Wax from Griot's Garage is a carnauba-rich liquid wax that delivers a deep, mirror-like shine and a protective coating in one easy application.

Designed for enthusiasts who demand concours-level gloss without complicated steps, this 16oz formula blends high-quality carnauba with specialty oils to enhance color, clarity, and surface depth. The updated formulation wipes off smoothly after curing, so you can achieve a wet-look finish quickly whether you apply by hand or with an orbital polisher. It bonds to paint surfaces to provide short-term protection from contaminants while improving visual richness.

How does this wax produce a showroom-quality shine?

The combination of concentrated carnauba and a select oil blend fills micro-imperfections and adds reflective depth for the appearance of wet paint. Light refracts across the coated surface more evenly, making colors look richer and edges crisper.

• High carnauba concentration for glossy, warm reflectivity
• Oils that level fine surface irregularities for smoother reflection
• Polishable formula that buffs to a thin, even film without streaks

Will it be difficult to apply on a warm or cool day?

Griot's Garage Best of Show Wax is formulated to perform on both warm and cool surfaces, reducing the haze or streaking that some waxes produce. Application remains manageable in a variety of temperatures, though avoiding direct sun on very hot panels speeds the best outcome.

• Works on warm or cool paint without excessive hazing
• Cures quickly for a one-pass wipe-off in normal conditions
• Compatible with hand application or orbital polishers for faster work

How do I apply and remove the wax for optimum results?

Apply using a foam pad or soft cloth in a cross-hatch pattern, allow the coating to cure to a light haze, then buff off with a clean microfiber or soft towel. For larger surfaces, an orbital polisher with a foam pad speeds the job and helps achieve an even layer.

• Apply thin, even passes in cross-hatch motions
• Let the product cure to a light haze before buffing
• Buff off with a clean microfiber for a streak-free mirror finish

What protection and longevity can I expect from this wax?

This wax provides a sacrificial, glossy coating that helps repel light contaminants and water while enhancing the paint’s visual appeal. Longevity depends on conditions and maintenance—regular washing and dry storage extend the visible benefits.

• Forms a protective surface layer to help shed light contaminants
• Improves water beading and ease of cleaning between waxes
• Best maintained with routine washing and periodic reapplication
