Default ....Pics:..Pinnacle Spray Wax!!!!....

I posted a few of these pics in the C5 General section a while back but haven't been over here in while so thought I would go ahead and post them here as well.

I took these shots after a quick going over with 'Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Spray Wax'.

This stuff is truly awesome and is as quick and easy to apply as any of the quick detail sprays out there, with the added benefit of having real carnauba wax in the formula.

Jim,

I've been using the Pinnacle spray wax for quite some time and love it. Unfortunately, I'll never see the shine on my white car that you get on yours. I love the last picture. As always, your car looks awesome.

Thanks Steve.......although it might not be quite as brilliant on white, I have seen some awesome results with it on the lighter colors...

I have the same wax but the solid, not liquid form, that I tried on my '94 Dark Red Metallic after compounding with 3 levels of Menzerna and I did not get anything near that shine. I know dark red still isn't going to look like black but I was a little disappointed. Yours looks great though!

There are three versions of Souveran. The paste wax is designed as a pure wax and considered a show winner. You will need to prep the surface first for best results. The Liquid Souveran is designed for all colors and is a completely different formula, this product can also be applied and allowed to dry before removal. The Spray Souveran is a booster spray for ALL Pinnacles waxes and should be used after each wash. Crystal Mist was once the booster but we changed the product a bit and Souveran Spray is like CM on steriods.

Now with your car being Metallic Red versus flat red, you will likely notice the depth and wetness of Souveran Paste but really would be better served with Pinnacles SigSeries II paste wax. It has newer polymers and really designed to have metal flake amplified.

If you need help or want additional hints just PM me. Menzerna finishes up quite well and should really help any wax look its best.

You're going to love the results on that black finish......even better if you start with a base coat of 'Pinnacle Souverän Carnauba Paste Wax' first........
