I traded some of my
Meguiars Hand Polish, #26 and Quikshine (made by Clearkote) for a nearly full container of
Pinnacle Souveran, which arrived today.
My car is well maintained (obviously, as a detailer with a sign for my business on my car, I try to keep it looking it's best), so all I had to do was dust it and QD it before using Souveran. No need to polish or clay, the paint is extemely slick.
I did about a 1/3rd of the car at a time, them buffed off the excess. I was someone astounded to see there was a noticable difference, since it already had a great shine-paint looked incredibly wet and rich looking-almost like the surface was liquid. I went ahead and put on another coat, covering the entire car, then buffing off the excess and the shine looked even deeper.
I have a burgandy SL500 to detail tomorrow. I waxed it with Pinnacle Paste Glaz the last time, and he was very pleased with the results (he has me wax it every 6-8 weeks or so), and since Souveran is meant for reds and blacks, it should look even better.
I'll let y'all know how it turns out.
BTW, I was finishing up my car, and my neighbor came out and simply said, "Your car looks awesome."
