Default Tried Pinnacle Today - WOW!!

I've been using NXT, and it's great stuff. But today I gave Pinnacle Souveran a try. Here's my process.
1) A good wash. No Dawn. Used Gold Class car wash left over from last year.
2) Clay Bar
3) Pinnacle pre-wax polish.
4) Pinnacle Souveran wax.

I was totally blown away! Like I said, NXT is great, but the Souveran looks richer and deeper. Even my neighbor across the street noticed! I'll get some pics posted when the family comes over on Easter. (Yeah, I'm old school & haven't figured out all of this digital crap!)
I have an EB coupe, so the results might not be as dramatic as on a red or black car. But wait till you see this!!
I'll probably stick with carnauba wax now instead of the synthetics.

Yeah, I got the Crystal Mist too.
Used my winnings in our office NCAA b-ball pool and bought the kit with wax, shampoo, polish, QD, and microfiber towels. Really excited about the first-time results.
Thanks again to everyone who recommended Pinnacle. Here's another convert!!

This is the best value going currently. Dont purchase Souveran alone at 59.99 - 69.99 when you can get the soap, and Crystal Mist and you will want them anyways. The Chemical Paint Cleaner and the towels are just added bonus. Add in the free shipping (normally around 10.00) and the couponcode (another 9.95 off) and you got some serious carnuaba power, one that plain and simple with win shows !!!


My fav pic of Souveran from a users car.

Was that pic a result of the Souveran paste wax or liquid wax? Either way, it's the best shine I've ever seen on a black 'Vette.

I have a black vette that I take to shows about every weekend and I think PS blows everything else away. Nothing can equal the warmth and depth of PS. The sealants imitate but can't duplicate the look.
