Griot's Best Of Show vs. Natty's Blue

Griot's Best Of Show wax vs. Natty's Blue.
Well, only on the hood and front fenders. I split them directly down the middle of the hood.

Here's my steps:

Wash
Clay
Griot's Polish 3 (very mild), random orbital
Griot's sealant, by hand
Waxes, by hand

The drivers side got Griot's Best Of Show (BOS) wax, and the passenger side got Natty's blue paste wax. I can't tell any difference, I'll have to see which lasts longer. The Natty's Blue did come off MUCH easier.

The car also has 1/3 clear bra up front, so that's why it looks a little blurry. I also didn't bother to clean the clear bra very much on the bumper.

1st pic: hood from the front
2nd pic: up close of the hood from the front
3rd pic: drivers side, Griot's BOS wax
4th pic: drivers side, Griot's BOS wax
5th pic: passenger side, Natty's Blue wax
6th pic: full car
7th pic: full car

Overall I like how easy it is to remove the Natty's Blue. I just wanted to try out the Griot's sealant and see if there were any differences between the waxes.

Nice comparo, I love these kind of threads!

I can't see much difference from those pictures either, but it will be interesting to see how long they both last. From what I've read about BOS, it's a finicky product and removal is difficult if you use too much but it provides a very hard coating (lots of protection). Good for use on DD's, I'm guessing it will last about the same amount of time Natty's Blue will. Post back with your results!
