If you have a darker colored car you cannot beat pinnacle souveran as the warmth and depth cannot be beat.

You have to pay to play.

Pinnacle has higher volumes of true carnauba. Just to get you an idea, my dream wax is $25,000 dollars in a small jar. You apply it by your bare hands.

I don't think you have to drive a certain car to "try" and buy that. It's more for the expert detailers who work on high end cars. It's nice to know for the owners that they are getting good wax on their cars.

btw, expert detailers make around 200k+ a year, so that price of the wax isn't bad in their budget. More of an investment.

thats nice. . truthfully..i think thats a waste of money. .BUT. .if thats what you like to spend it on. .then go for it. .i figure you wax the car and maybe few hours to a day or 2 it gets dirty again anyway and then you got to wax it again and again you'll go threw the wax and have to buy more. if your as **** as i am i'll be making that wax co rich as hell. . .im just going to stick with lucky # 7. . i have no swirls thank god and so far doing it by hands worked to keep it that way with the back and forth motion. . but thanx for the advice guys. .I might even try zaino, or that souverian stuff. .just to test it out . . honestly though. .im never buying another black car again i can tell you that . .

I spoke to the owner of a car wash in Orlando Fl (Http://Imagescarwash.com) and the following is what he recomended.

Soap
http://www.cleanacar.com/meg89.html?...hannelid=BIZRA

Cleaner
http://www.amazon.com/Klasse-Cleaner...098604-5566051

Wax
http://www.autoanything.com/car-care/69A3063A0A0.aspx

I switched from using Zaino to this products conbination and I am really HAPPY. Much better than Zaino and easier to use.

I hope this help.

That's the difference between the cheap stuff and the good stuff. Cheap stuff will wear off quickly. Also, good wax is what saves your car from getting so dirty. It actually repels water and dirt. If you wash your car more than 1 time per week on a black car, your car should be pretty swirled. Put a halogen light on your paint and check.

This is after a month of using Poorboys wax which is pretty good for the price. It still beads and protects after 4-5 carwashes and a month of being on the car.

Those are nice products besides the Megs Gold Class. I absolutely can't say how much i hate that stuff and how bad it is for the paint. First, it doesn't have enough suds. It has chemicals in it that eats rubbers around your window trim and leaves them dry with spots. It's very harsh on wax. I did a PH level test on it and it was very bad. This soap is ok if you really don't care for your car..like a beater or DD car but it should be no where near your nice car.

Im very happy with my menzerna auto shampoo, Im ordering th swissvax soap with the new stuff. Supposidly should be similar to the menzerna. Very little suds, but lots of lubricity.
