Pinnacle imppresions..
Early this summer purchased Pinnacle kit. I'm a regular buff and wax guy..Zaino seemed like alot of effort, though I never tried it.
First off..my car has been repainted with Spies-Ziegler paint. And it came out very nice..started getting spider webs..minor scratches..the usual. Today I thought I'd piddle around a little bit..first I buffed with 3M Swirl mark Remover (thanks Joe :D ) my imppresion of that product is great..loved it. Then I used the paint cleanser in the Pinnacle kit and then the carnuba paste..definitely gave it the look I wanted. :eek: Was not alot of work..I only did one side and 3M'd the whole car..you can really not tell the difference. My wife thinks it's "shinier" than before..daughter thinks it looks like a mirror, (I agree) I believe it does have a richer "wet" look..and with that.. it's the look I was after. :thumbs: Thanks Pinnacle!! :cheers: (Not a current pic :D )

I think the Pinnacle paint cleaner which is citrus based is about the best product going. I haven't found any product that will prep the surface as good and not do damage to it.
