SON1C Synopsis 20: Pinnacle Natural Brilliance - Signature Series II Paste Wax Review Picture Heavy :D (Featuring Dodo Juice, Mothers, Chemical Guys)

I picked this item up as a black friday / Christmas gift to myself, and then later fell victim to Wolfgang Fuzion


So unfortunately Wolfgang Fuzion and the hype that surrounds this awesome product overshadowed my excitement for Signature Series II

but without further ado..

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...basics-bling-wax-safe-wash-500-ml-review.html
I washed the vehicle with DoDo Juice Basics of Bling Wax-Safe Wash
I washed the wheels,tires and wheel barrels with Mother's Foaming Wheel and Tire Cleaner (before washing of course :xyxthumbs: )

later dressed with chemical guys g6


but oh yeah, you guys clicked this because you're interesting in Signature Series II, or you're bored, or you're enjoy reading product reviews (guilty) , or you think my review's are terrible and have come to bash my thread Im the MAN , or maybe you enjoy my reviews and thats why you're viewing this now

Signature Series II is very similar to Fuzion in many aspects, to sum it up briefly Fuzion to me is kind of like an improved version of signature series II
however please understand Signature Series II is awesome, and I was thoroughly impressed, I was on the fence about ordering it, as you can tell I have a lot of wax, but shout out to ChrisJ for nudging me and his positive remarks about this "hidden gem of Autogeek"

The wax smells great, the container is great, sturdy, and has an o-ring, I truly believe these o-rings provide an air tight seal which is awesome for wax shelf-life and lasting longevity and thus maintaining product freshness, a huge problem I have with DoDo Juice waxes
http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...-juice-banana-armour-carnauba-wax-review.html
is that their containers are not air tight, straight from the dodo unsealed in plastic bags (see my product lineup for todays detail picture for reference) panel pots have a shelf life of a year, normal pots (250 ml) 3-4 years
Back to the star, Signature Series II.. the wax is just like Fuzion when running your finger across it, with applicators its a bit more grippy, its also more oily than Fuzion, similar in oily consistency upon application as lava (although not as much) if you over apply it becomes a bit oily and another pass or two might be needed to pickup the remainder of the residue

Signature Series II is wipe on, wipe off, and at its price range, I matched it up (mentally lol) with Pete's 53
Pete's may look slightly better (although I'd need a head to head to compare) Signature Series II application BLOWS Pete's 53 away, and with that I'd say SSII every day over it, when petes (its a wipe on wipe off wax as well) dries it basically becomes concrete, also a few spots I missed on buff off had to basically be polished off... its that bad


In these pictures I'm letting it dry / haze, I was applying to up to 3 panels at a time by the end without buffing previous wax off
(note surface was prepped with an IPA wipedown)


This wax although wipe on wipe off, does not destroy the user if he makes an error and does not WOWO, or misses a spot, or simply does not want to or is experimenting in this manner, this is a huge plus in my book, I let it haze for up to 30 minutes, and the swipe of my finger rendered easy complete removal.. impressive for a WOWO ( wipe on wipe off ) wax.

Final thoughts..
Awesome wax, great bang for buck, I'm becoming a huge fan of PBMG waxes between this and Fuzion, and MaxWax is next on my hit list
Great smell, Great container, Awesome application, Great looks, User Friendly, Reasonable Price
This wax is winning across the board, and I highly recommend it. :dblthumb2:

Great review as usual. I like reading your reviews on products, you make them fun and informative. I see Souveran up next inside your wax fridge! Which by the way is one of the best LSP collections Ive seen so far here on AGO!

thanks, glad you enjoy them :dblthumb2: lol yeah I try to mix it up some, I definitely see Souveran in there.. eventually, but I foresee Satsuma Rock and Sherbet fizz prior though
idk I would definitely like souveran and feel its suited towards me with low durability and high looks lol

I'm glad you put a link to this review! Are your pics edited in anyway???? If not your reflections are amazing.....

lol
some are lightly edited, some aren't, but the ones that are lightly edited barely bring out the reflections more if at all
so a lot of what you see is naked photo
thanks :xyxthumbs:

When you do these reviews, do you strip the previous layer of wax before using/reviewing a new product?
Love reading your reviews!!!!!!

Click to expand...

I usually do, if, I do or don't I say so, when I used Lava by chemical guys I didn't strip and I just topped my dying 2-3 month old orange crush, however I stripped wolfgang fuzion off with an ipa wipedown

PapaSmurf said:

+1. Also how do you safely strip the previous layers of wax?

Click to expand...

strip wash cg wash and gloss or wash and clear at strip ratios usually ~an oz or 2 oz per gallon
some people use apc in the wash
some people use dawn in the wash
a lot use an IPA wipedown
some like eraser
claying or polishing

So this wax is a bit mushy in consistency? Did you have trouble getting a thin coat or was that easily achieved?

Click to expand...

its very solid, but melts awesome when you go to use it, a lot like fuzion, so it's the best of both worlds imo, no it was rather easy to work with and to achieve a thin coat

also note, it was already kind of broken out of the container, and when I say that I mean that you could turn the container over and the wax would fall/slide out, this is a huge plus if you machine apply wax :xyxthumbs:

ChrisJ said:

Its not mushy at all...Nice stiff wax for sure and goes on thin and comes off easy

Those were my first real detailing writeups, and granted I had read a ton prior, its like detailing with experience you get better lol, its also very easy to cross reference products into my other reviews, which I feel makes my newer reviews better, glad you enjoyed them and In SON1C We Trust! lol
