Default WAX Comparison and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Twas 2 days before christmas and all through the house.Yada yada yada.You get the picture...Ok i got my new Pinnacle Sovern Liquid wax.

So i put a coat of wax on the car. I will show the pictures you tell .

This is what i saw.First let me say . I am a Wolfgang Fuzion guy. I love to try new stuff all the time though so here we are.

Wolfgang is just a pure carnuba wax with no petroleum cleaners at all.
Wolfgangs is easy on easy off i mean very easy.

Pinnacle Sovern is a little more difficult to put on but easy to get off.
Pinnacle has some petroleum in it.They say put it on over a paint sealant. I wonder with the petroleum will it remove some of the sealant.

The shine on wolfgangs brought out metalflake in my old infiniti that i never saw. I am very impressed with this pinnacle and it has a warm deep shine too. I purchase from autogeek and i am impressed with both of these top of the line waxes..I also uses Do Do Juice.

Here are the new formula Pinnacle pictures.









Few more pictures This is a blue g35 on the next pic with detailers pride DP carnuba wax.

Black g37 after a buff and Detailers Pride.

Black g35 with Detailers Pride.

All of these are great and i use them regularly.. Black looks like a mirror after a buff and wax. Those are my wolfdog shots.
Sorry for rambling on. Bored i guess.

Well the weather was warm again and just wanted to clean here up. Merry Christmas again.

All the "good" polishes & waxes are pretty much the same these days. Just gimmicks & marketing.

Car looks good.

Thanks for the reply about the car.

I do disagree about the waxes. I have been detailing cars
Since I was young. I have gone through lots of brands over the years. I have noticed major differences in some products,and some not so major I have a few five gallon buckets full of waxes that didn't make the cut. That's why I
Have some of these to try.. I have had nothing but good reviews about auto geeks.On the wax and polish, I can pick up on subtle difference pretty quickly that maybe some wont. I did make a comparison on the pinnacle vs Wolfgang fuzion. So it's all good and to each his own. On a 50-120000 dollar car
Put on a good polish or sealant. One of my favorites is meguires cleaner wax in the burgundy bottle.
