Has anyone compared Zaino to Pinnacle on Nassau Blue. I have tried Liquid Glass and now use Zaino. I am after the deepest, wettest shine possible, durability is not an issue as I detail often. Please advise.

Thanks

I liked Zaino best on my previous ride, a Maxima Anniversary Edition in Midnight Blue Pearl, as it was highly reflective but not wet looking in the least. I have also detailed a friends Medium Blue Metallic Malibu with Pinnacle Soveran Liquid with great reflectivity and wet-look.

If you want it all (depth, reflectivity, and wet-look) you should try Pinnacle but you will give up durability. Plain and simple it only lasts 6 weeks unless you use a synthetic sealer (Zaino, Klasse, Blackfire) underneath.

As for the Pinnacle route ...the Paste Glaz is what Pinnacle suggests and will provide a warm wet look, but I still prefer Soveran as it appears brighter, provides no dust, and seems to contain more oils or emoilents as it looks wetter IMO.

Contact me as necessary for Pinnacle hints and I suggest purchase at http://www.pinnaclewax.com or http://www.autogeek.com and they offer an internet discount of 10% off even sale prices , just use coupon code "corvetteforum" on checkout. :thumbs:

Can you tell us more about this method? Apply Zaino, and then top coat with Pinnacle? What's the detailed approach, and how do you apply additional Zaino coats in the future?

Thanks in advance...

I have used it over Klasse with great results (Marios Yellow Vert) and find it to be easier than Zaino (1 step product) and to provide the similar results.

I wash car, clay car, then seal the car with Klasse All-In-One. We then put a coat of Pinnacle Soveran over it to provide the wetness and extra depth. For the next 3-4 months he will put a coat of Soveran on when the wetnesses factor drops. At the end of that time, we will go back to Klasse AIO. Since Klasse has cleaners built in it will remove all the old wax. If we ever need to strip the Klasse we will use alcohol or a light compound like Menerza.

You will not want to put Zaino over Pinnacle as it does not bond correctly. So you will need to strip wax first, they suggest Dawn, and a clay.

Because durability is not a factor on my car....I do not use anything but Pinnacle. I dont mind a quick 20-30 minutes monthly to have the deepest, wetest paint on my block.
