Default Will Dawn Remove Pinnacle?

1. Will Dawn remove Pinnacle Souveran? Going to Zaino, the Gurureport put me over the edge!

2. If I have no swirl marks, is there any benefit to using Z5? Was planning on skipping it and going right to the Z2. Opinions?

Thanks!

Dawn will remove Pinnacle.
What color is your car? some people with dark cars like Z5 better, may be worth trying, you can always top with Z2 later.

For silver, I would recommend Z2 Pro.

Is there a noticable difference between the Z2 and Z2 Pro? I have about 1/2 bottle of the old Z2 left.

Depends on how fresh the Souveran coat is. I've Dawn washed a car with a pretty fresh coat of Souveran on it and while the Dawn put a dent in the wax, it didn't remove it all in one wash. A second wash might be in order to make sure all the wax is gone.

*I* feel there is a difference in the old Z2 and Z2 Pro, but there's nothing wrong with your Z2.

Don't forget to prep

This may sound dumb, but how do you know when all the Souveran Wax has been removed?
