I want to hear from you new users of the Souveran Wax. A lot of you should
have gotten in your new wax ordered from the sale. Are you impressed?
Is the shine what they say it is ? Easy to use? Tell Me Pleaseeee?
 
I will partially refrain .... but lets say I keep two tubs in my personal collection at all times. I sleep easier knowing it will be there when I awake.
 
I like souveran. Pleasant smell, great looks, and easy to apply and remove. can't really ask for anything else.
 
I'm really torn between both souveran and signature on my silver met car, i read a lot about how souveran is a darker car wax, and that signature and liquid souveran are best for lighter colors as far a depth and pop..:confused:

I think this statement pretty well says it all as far as I'm concerned. Everyone should have a tub of this on hand. :)
 
im glad i bought some on sale but im in a sense afraid to use it... why does it contain mineral spirits? the liquid even smells like mineral spirits and thats what we use at work to remove stubborn stuff and clean whitewalls. are you guys positive that souveran is completely safe for the paint because the mineral spirits thing is scaring me sort of.

My post was specifically referring to the past wax. I've used/use the liquid also. It works as well as any carnauba liquid if not better. I don't have the affinity for it as I do the paste. The paste is just in another league. It also smells very pleasant. The smell you are referring to in the liquid is the type of solvent they use. I don't care for that smell either.
 
but the paste uses mineral spirits as well, which is my #1 concern right now with it. im just wondering if its completely safe because mineral spirits seems harsh to me. i really dont care how it looks if it could potentially hurt the surface
 
carnuaba is a rock hard substance, it comes in the form of chips. As such solvents such as mineral spirits are used to break it down to be spreadable and usable. Its not going to harm your paint ... infact, talk with a body shop and the common consensus is only certain low grade silicones can damage the finish and cause fisheyes when repainting. Wiith new VOC regulations in place, a carnuaba based product can only contain a small portion of mineral spirits and other solvents.
 
I love the Souveran paste goes on easy comes of easy and leaves a great finish :righton:

It is all what it's cracked up to be, Souveran and Clearkote Carnauba Moose are two of my favorite LSP....Souveran being more reflective and CMW more darkening of the paint
 
WOW, you take some really good pics and your yukon is in awesome shape! Keep it up.

I must admit. I LOLed at this.
 
trade souvern for crystal mist?

Hello, I really like the liquid souvern. Enough that I accidently asked for some for Christmas and got way too muny for me to use! Never ask everyone for the same thing! Anyway id like to ofeer one sealed bottle in trade for a bottle of pinnacle crystle mist. Anyone interested in this trade before I see if I can send it back? Thanks! Andrew
 
The shine is incredible better than I had expected. I used souveran paste wax over my normal cleaning and glazing on my 99 dodge ram and erveryone though I had the truck repainted. Thanks to this I won 6 shows in 2006 and truck of the month on a website. Check out my gallery and tell me if you think it looks like a 6 year old dailly driver to you.
 
Souveran IMO is definitely a top flight wax. It leaves a very wet, dark finish but yet does not mute metalic flake. It's very easy on/off too and it makes the paint pretty slick for a wax. The performance of this wax comes pretty close to waxes which cost twice as much if not more. So, the price is reasonable if you think of it in that way.
 
I'm with Mikey on this one, couldn't have said it better, though I believe in many instances it comes more than close.:iagree:

Hi,
I've been using store bought waxes. Do I need a pre wax cleaner before using Pinnacle or can I go right over the existing wax?

I don't know that you necessarily need a pre "cleaner wax" but proper surface prep is a must in order to get everything out of Pinnacle or any other "high dollar" LSP. Washing, claying, polishing in its various forms, etc are all pretty much standard before using a premium wax or sealant. It goes without saying that if you're going to drop the kind of change it costs to buy a premium product that you want to see it in all its glory. If this kind of preparation isn't on the agenda I would think one would be dollars ahead to use a less expensive wax or sealant. You can still have protection and get some "shine" out of products costing much less. It also isn't unusual to put down a coat of longer lasting product prior to putting down Souveran. Souveran as beautiful as it is, isn't the longest lasting wax on the market. Many like putting a sealant down and topping with Souveran (I like UPP topped with Souveran and have had good luck with DP's sealant also). It kind of gives you the best of both worlds.
