IMO Griots isn't all that expensive when it comes to wax. Their best of show is $20.00 for 16 oz and Mequiars NXT is about $15.00. NXT is said to have some mild cleaners in it, so that's something to keep in mind. I like NXT because of its ease of use, but it only lasts a short time and thats ok because you can wax your car once a month (if you have to wait that long!) and it doesn't take alot of work. Personally, I've switched to Klasse All in One and Sealant Glaze and can honestly say its the best products I've ever used. Follow it up with a quality carnauba for that depth and your all set. Since price seems to keep coming up I'm not going to suggest that the "average car guy" goes out and gets the Pinnacle "Souveran" at $70.00 a can, but if you've got a black car, THIS IS THE ONE TO GET, PERIOD!
