I just wanted to make this thread to help out anyone who has purchased a bottle of Liquid Souveran recently.

Finally Liquid Souveran Wax achieves the Pinnacle of Perfection. Liquid Souveran Carnauba Wax has the ease of a liquid wax with the protection and

Here is my story. I purchased 2 bottles of Liquid Souveran recently and both bottles arrived and they were very watery and would not constitute into a cream like liquid wax. I tried every way possible to shake the product up in the original bottle and it would not shake into a cream like I knew it should be. So I called Autogeek for some tips and was told that its totally normal for the product to be watery and separated. To just shake it well and continue to use as normal. So I tried this with one of the bottles and while it did work it was impossible to use correctly. As you could imagine, the product was oily and watery and would just roll right off of the applicator pad. When I did get it applied to the paint, the haze was more difficult to remove than I knew this product usually is. So I was unhappy with leaving this wax in this state and happily using it.

So after I pulled out all of the shaking stops. Shaking for 30 minutes straight, warming the bottle, ect ect.

Finally I decided to pour off the 16oz bottle into a BIGGER 32 oz bottle and capped it off.

32 oz. Meguiars Generic Spray Bottle

With the product in the bigger bottle , I shook it up and down (not side to side) and within 1 minute the product reconstituted into a very cream semi thick liquid (slightly thicker than Wolfgang DGPS). After the product shook together , I poured it back off into the original Pinnacle bottle.

Tested and works... perfectly. Problem Solved.

This was such an annoyance to me that I did a forum search and did not see a specific thread answering the question on what to do with a product that wont shake up right. So I decided to make this one as I noticed a lot of the PBMG wax's and sealants are coming delivered without being mixed up and need a lot of shaking. Anytime I run into this issue again, atleast I know what to do instead of trying to shake the bottle all day without results (to the point that my hand was actually sore). :)
 
I see someones being innovative using the exact methods I've been using for years! :props:

When you think about it logically, how do you shake a bottle of product that virtually full? While I'm sure there's movement to some extent you could be there for years....
 
I've always considered when something appears more liquid than I believed it should be to add to the refrigerator for sometime and then shake and use.
 
You can also make a whip out of a wire coat hanger and insert it into the bottle and use a cordless drill to spin it. Works just like a paint mixer. Then you don't lose product in the bigger bottle. For smaller sample bottles use a paper clip. :dblthumb2:
 
Well read this a day too late! Had a 2oz. sample bottleand threw it out last night. I thought it got too hot in my garage. I shook it for about a minute, still runny. Oh well, another tip learned on the AG!

Good solution!
 
I wish I tried that before but I didn't throw mine out. It did take some patience but once I applied the wax, it worked out fine.
Thanks for the tip.
 
Someone mentioned the other day putting a couple ball bearings in the bottle to help mix...sounds like the need a little mixer ball in them.
 
WOW! I was just thinking of asking about this on another thread. I thought it was kinda odd for the wax to be separated so soon after I received it, but not having enough room in the bottle for it to mix makes a lot of sense that I didn't think about. Thanks for the great thread. :dblthumb2:
 
bump for the fact that this product is on BOGO and this thread might help.

I had the same experience with my large bottle. It was separated as if it had spoiled in the heat. I shook it but it didn't do that much to get it less runny. Still used it though. Seemed to work well enough.
 
i have some megs ultimate wax in a clear autogeek bottle
and when i leave it for 4 days or a week it seperates
but i shake it up and use it and no problems
 
I went about 20-30 min also before mine turned into something that even closely resembled a liquid wax. Almost gave up three or four times. UGH.

yes, usually. With a full bottle, shaking it up and down wasn't really moving anything around.

With a full bottle, shaking it any way isn't really going to move anything around. Have to agree with the bigger bottle and ball bearing tips--good suggestions!
 
I'll revive this since the old formula is on sale today for 9.99....heck of a deal. Can't wait to finally try this out!
