Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax, holy cow it’s good!

[acuRAS82]

I think it’s funny and refreshing that we (I) see so many pictures of paint protected with coatings/SiO2 or new sealants like PNS, which have a very modern, glassy shine which most of us love... then someone shows pictures of a classic, quality carnauba product and we (I) remember that the classics had some crazy good looks, in a completely different, rich, smooth, shimmering kind of way.

There’s so many ways to make a car look fantastic in slightly different ways when polished properly, and I think it’s beneficial to keep the classics in mind, they still kick some arse.

LOOKS GOOD! I need to get a bottle, I'm just about to start mobile detailing again, and this would be a perfect addition to my arsenal. Any product I can apply with a DA seem to makes customers feel like I'm doing a lot more than I am lol. I just looked, it's available in a gallon too, woowoo.

Great work. I love the couple Pinnacle products I have... paste Sovereign and the spray wax. I think I’ll be ordering the liquid when my WGDGS runs out.

Beautiful job. Those clouds! The color who shall not be named is a beast to get perfect. Musta did a great job on the polish in June.

I’ve been thinking of a beauty wax to top my cquarts just to get that “waxed looked for a week for shows or cruises. May give this a tey

Thank you...I repolished it before the wax on Saturday with Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish with a LC White Pad, I really didnt need to do much if any correction since the finish still looked great from using BF One Step back in June.

I have a bottle of Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax that I purchased a few weeks ago; can’t wait to try.

Get on it...you wont regret it!!

^^ this. Gotta Love black when it's done right. Well done :xyxthumbs:

Funny, I've detailed my car, my daughters boyfriends car, and best friends car...all are black, so im not sure what it's like to detail a non-black car! oops...my wifes X3 is white!


For comparison sake:
Here's a shot of the beading on our Jeep with Cquartz

Strong but I still love GYEON's Syncro/Skin product. As good as the above is, Syncro is still noticeably more hydrophobic and sheets water better. Both have super tight and round beads.

Here's Syncro on my wife's car

Looks awesome, the beading is different using wax compared to PNS. It's only rained briefly one day but it's different.


Both Pics are of rain drops on a car that's been driven in that rain.

Its awesome stuff. I switched to using it exclusively over a year ago. My customers love it.
One of the best things about it is there's no need to wait for it to haze before wiping it off. The label says to do a panel at a time wiping it off immediately. Doing so makes it so much easier to wipe off, not that it's hard to wipe if you let it haze, it's just super easy if you do it right away.
It's not cheap but if you buy it during a 25% off sale you can get the gallon for a huge discount.

Thank you...it is very easy to wipe on and wipe off...easy breezy! On the first coat I didn't wait as long as the second coat for it to haze, I found it was much easier to wipe off on the first coat not that the second was hard, just a little more work.

I wanted to try something that would bring out the shine/glassy look...i think i found it!

Your customers will be very impressed, promise!

I'm loving it too!!!

I always thought the Jeweling had the same sealant as Liquid Souv, but turns out no one could prove Jeweling has any carnauba in it. Either way, I’m sure the ‘liquid crystal’ polymers are similar and these would probably be a great combo for someone who wants a one step and then add a layer of Liquid Souv a month or two later to enhance the shine and durability.

Hey Jay...giving this post a bump as I am interested in how the Liquid Souveran has held up and performed since these last posts. still impressed by it?

Funny you ask! I applied three coats of it last weekend and absolutely love it! Today, the dealer washed my car and swirled the crap out of it so I’m repolishing it with BF One Step right now! After I finish this wonderful task, I’ll be reapplying!

These are a few pics from last weekend.

So you'll top the BF Onestep with the Liquid Souveran? Just curious why you wouldn't redo the Advanced Finishing Polish then the Liquid Souveran as you did last time? Is it because you won't get enough cut from the Advanced to get rid of the dealer induced swirls?

I tried the Finishing Polish first but it didn’t cut very well with a white pad and I really didn’t want to use the LC orange so used One Step with white and it did the trick.

Has anyone used both liquid and paste Souveran together? My understanding is the paste Souveran is supposed to be the ultimate?

Just finished correcting and now moving to reapply Souveran...again!

•It might be the ultimate...
-But I’ve never spent Souverän-kind of
money on any LSP.

•However...
-I did purchase their Sig. Series II Paste
Wax back when it was only $39.99.
-(On a similar note: I can handle Liquid
Souverän‘s $39.99 price tag.)

**********************************

•Even though, IMO, they’re both “Hybrids”...
-I’ve used Signature Series II Paste Wax
and Liquid Souverän Car Wax together.

-The results were simply scintillating,
in my POV.
-In fact: Good enough to where any
inclinations to purchase the ~$100
Souverän Paste Wax were immediately
put to bed.

Yes, I've used both in numerous combinations (i.e. Soveran Paste alone, Soveran Paste with Soveran Liquid as a topper and Soveran Liquid alone). I applied both in multiple coats alone as they are incredibly easy to WOWO.

If by ultimate you mean is it superior then I'd say yes, however the margin is extremely thin.

Their is a small difference in that the paste lasts slightly longer than the liquid. In terms of gloss/shine the paste is again slightly, and I mean just slightly, better. Both are superb products and they have been my goto products for 'wax' for as long as they've been around. They both provide what I call more of a warm shine. As an aside the paste in particular smells good enough to eat, LOL.

 

[Bill D]

Thanks for sharing that. It sounds like the paste isn’t all that much better to justify the significant difference in price. However, I’ve been using the paste only for years because I didn’t think the liquid was close enough. Now I’ll reconsider next time I’m low on the paste.

 

[mdbenge]

I agree, difference in price probably doesn't justify it on its own merit. I was able to catch the paste on an incredible 'Days of Christmas' years ago and redeemed a gift certificate as well. Was it cheap, nope but I never regretted the cost. I will mention that with this paste in particular a little goes a long, long ways. I probably still have 1/2 jar left and have likely done dozens of coats of it throughout the years.

 

[Bill D]

Yep pretty much the same here. I don’t know when I’m going to be low on the paste because a little goes such a long way.

Ive never has Souveran paste last close to as long as Liquid Souveran. I’m talking weeks versus 4 months. Which is why I won’t top Paste with anything. To me paste is the ultimate topper and looks amazing on Liquid Souveran.

Also, Liquid Souveran has a brighter look that seems to bring out flake on light metallics. Paste mutes flakes and has a deep, classic carnauba look, based on my experience.

Different users, different experiences with these things.
