Pinnacles Paintwork Lotion has been designed to work equally well before a wax or a sealant. You should be able to use this combination as desired. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts and outcome.

Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish

Of these two, which is better? I know they each have a specific job to do, but is the Cleansing Lotion a polish or a pre-wax cleaner? Would you complete your detailing by this process using the lotion:

Wash
Clay
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion
Sealent/Wax

or only one of these two would work? I have SIP, but seem interested in using the Cleansing Lotion, but do not wish to waste money on somthing that is not as good as the ISP or equal to the ISP.

Two completely different products that you would not use in conjunction with each other.

Menzerna Super Intensive Polish is a heavy-cut polish that's designed to remove swirls, scratches, water spots and other paint defects. Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion is a non-abrasive polish designed for vehicles that don't have any flaws.

Correct the paint (if needed) with Menzerna SIP and then when it comes time to detail your vehicle again in a couple months, use the Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. This will safely remove previously applied waxes, sealants, along with below-surface contaminants, leaving the surface squeaky clean and ready for a wax/sealant combo.

Always use the least aggressive method for polishing paint first. If your vehicle doesn't have any swirls or scratches, then there is no need to use a heavy-cut polish on it.

Thanks, you mentioned:

I top it with a coat of PPII Signature Series, so if I am to incorporate this product it would be best to the following sequence: Wash, Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion, Z-CS, topped off with a coat of the PPII Sig Series. I will clay once a year, usually in the Apr time period. I have an excellent paint finish.
