Default Pics: Menzerna & Pinnacle Souverän Results

I know I post a lot of these reflection shots but just can't help it..
These pics are form a local show this past weekend I attended near KY Lake in Western Kentucky.
I've been wanting to try my Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze that's been sitting around un-opened for a while so I figured this would be a great time to break the seal on the bottle..
Using my FLEX Polisher I first went over the entire car with 'Menzerna Final Polish II' to eliminate all the light swirls ,scratches and minor imperfections.
Next step was a quick going over with the 'Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze', again using the FLEX machine.
For the Grand Finale, I applied a coat of 'Pinnacle Souverän Carnauba Paste Wax' by hand...
I was amazed with results, here's a couple pics:





One interior shot just for fun

Your car looks awesome as usual. I tried Pinnacle spray wax on top of Souveran today and I'll post some pics to tomorrow.

Pinnacle Souveran does look great on black.

I just found this on another forum I guess I need to work on my pronunciation.


Souverän pronunciation: http://www.leo.org/dict/aussprache/s/souveraen.wav

Carnauba (sp!) pronunciation: http://cougar.eb.com/sound/c/carnau01.wav
