    All out of Pinnacle Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish

    I'm all out of PBL Surface Cleansing Polish and was wondering whether any other products on the market might serve a similar purpose; specifically ones already in my garage! lol I was hoping to seal one of my cars this evening and didn't realize that I was as low on product as I am! I know you...

    Got some Pinnacle Souveran on my taillights, do I need to remove?

    I intentional apply Souveran wax (not the liquid stuff) to my lights. No residue. No buildup. It looks great. -Eric Sent from my iPad

    Car Cover or No Car Cover?

    The problem with water getting through is that snow can melt into the seams and then refreeze onto the car, basically bonding the cover to the car. The temps get far worse up in Maine and in parts of the Midwest but they still dip below 0F around here -- especially with wind chills this Winter...

    Car Cover or No Car Cover?

    Hi guys, thanks for the quick replies! It's 40 yrs. old and it would rust to bits if I left outside. I've had enough minor rust issues that I've had to attend to with it that I'd rather not invite any new ones. Valley, what part of the country are you in? I was set on getting a Noah or a...

    Car Cover or No Car Cover?

    Okay, folks, I have a question on a somewhat controversial issue – car covers. Before you jump to a conclusion, I know all of the downsides about car covers. I’ve always avoided them in the past and I’ve done my research and validated my own concerns against the criticisms I’ve read from...

    Is it too cold to apply Pinnacle Black Label...

    I'm reposting the pictures since something clearly happened to them the first time around. Anyway, here are the first two that were taken in the parking lot when I returned to my car to find that the rain had begun... ...and the rest from the garage... If this doesn't work then I'm...

    Pinnacle Black Label Beading...

    Sorry guys, I can't see them either for some reason. Let's try it again. Here are the first two that were taken in the parking lot when I returned to my car to find that the rain had begun... ...and the rest from the garage... If this doesn't work then I'm just going to have to try...

    Pinnacle Black Label Beading...

    I shared these pictures in a separate thread about applying PBL in cold temperatures and thought I'd also share them here. As a quick background, I am in the Northeast and the temperatures are less than optimal for detailing let alone applying PBL coatings. Nevertheless, while the outside...

    Is it too cold to apply Pinnacle Black Label...

    For those of you who are curious whether the coating worked, I took a handful of shots to share with the forum. This morning we were greeted with frozen rain, a perfect chance to see how well the Black Label Glass and Paint Coating worked (even in the cold). Sorry for the poor quality of the...

    Is it too cold to apply Pinnacle Black Label...

    Nice, he got the Night Styling Package, too, I see. My car has the performance exhaust as well. It's not overly loud by any stretch of the imagination and it does sound great. Unfortunately, the better sound is mostly reserved for those outside of the car! lol Inside the car it still sounds...

    Is it too cold to apply Pinnacle Black Label...

    lol...I've got an oversized 2 car garage with an A/C in one of the windows for when I'm spending any time there over the Summer. I actually gave up on the space heater pretty quickly in favor of a kerosene heater I remembered we had in the basement. The trick with the kerosene heater is to...

    Is it too cold to apply Pinnacle Black Label...

    I'm in southwestern, CT. I'm really hoping the storm will hold off. I coated the car with the sealant tonight. It looks awesome. I turned off the heater for safety but I will turn it back on tomorrow and let the garage warm up a bit. The thermometer on the A/C in my garage said it was 53...

    Is it too cold to apply Pinnacle Black Label...

    Thanks guys. I'm really happy with how she turned out. I'm working on the polish and sealant right now. :) In the meantime, here are a couple of additional camera phone shots taking during delivery. This one of the dashboard... And, here's one of the drivers' seat but it doesn't do the...

    Is it too cold to apply Pinnacle Black Label...

    Yep, just finished washing and claying it when it occurred to me that I didn't know if it was too cold to actually apply the sealant! lol The surface was in pretty good shape although I did remove some contaminants I picked up on the ride home. Thanks! -Eric Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Is it too cold to apply Pinnacle Black Label...

    I live in the Northeast. My garage isn't heated although I do have a space heater that will...well...do very little to warm up the whole area. Anyway, the temps are currently in the 30s-40s outside and it's probably a little warmer inside the insulated garage (which is attached to my home, so...

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    P.S. Thankfully, the illuminated star is an optional accessory. I don't have it on my car. It's not my kind of thing. It's also an option across the entire line-up of cars this year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Selecting Pads and Polish

    Thanks everyone for the responses! Mike, believe it or not, my tech said he remembered I told him not to wash it when he was having it washed. :eek: He said, "trust me, it needed to be washed." I do trust that it needed to be washed. I just didn't want someone with the mentality of the person...
