Default Pinnacle Souveran....What a difference!

I posted in the C5 General section about my experience with Pinnacle Souveran. Simply put, if you have a spiral grey (my color) or any other dark color you should try Pinnacle souveran. Believe me, it is worth the money and I never dreamed I would ever shell out more than $20 for car wax. I'm hooked now. Cost be damned. Money well spent!

Jon over at Pinnacle wants to thank you for the kind words.... use "corvetteforum" in the coupon field for an extra 10% off their prices. http://www.pinnaclewax.com

I have never used souveran but was thinking about trying it on my black vette but will the wax get soft and collect dust when parked in the sun
All waxes that I have tried don't hold up in the hot sun.

Havent met a car that didnt collect some dust, I even cover mine in the garage over the weekend. Pinnacle is made in Florida, and works well in this heat. Never seen it melt away !

I'm a Zaino user so far but on all your recommendations just got my Souverian Kit yesterday, haven't used it yet. Seems that no matter what, I still have to clay the finish :sad: Spilled some gas on the Z finish and no problem. Does the Pinnacle hold up as good :confused:

claying your car twice to three times are year is sufficent, but extremist will do it every time. As for the gasoline, I would think that any carnuba would disappear and considering isospryl alcohol removes Zaino, I believe that similar results should have followed. I suggest keeping the gas "in" the car ! :lolg: :lolg:

Yea, I know. I don't drive it that much and didn't realize that when the pump kicked off that I couldn't get another $0.28 worth of gas in it. With my van, I could get a buck &a half into it when it clicks off the first time. As for the spillage...looked at it the next morning in the light and it still looked OK :thumbs:

I'm a Pinnacle user myself, and I greatly prefer the paste version of the Souveran. I found it easier to work with and (in my opinion) the paste produced a better finish. I had a bottle of the liquid Souveran, but I gave it away. :rolleyes:

You have to get the paste if you want the most carnauba from the Brazilian leaf. The liquid has very little carnauba in it.

I have learned that some things in life are worth paying for, and on avarage a paste will get you 15-20 cars which is less than 3.00 per coat at discount. The liquid is very good also ! I think a Corvette's finish is worth it, and even done a friends Malibu and wifes Supercharged Regal.
