Re: Pinacle Souveran??

So it is good to top better endurance wax so when the beauty wears off my paint is still well protected? I was thinking NXT>Souveran or more durable carnauba>Souveran. The base coat of wax will not diminish the beauty of the Souveran will it.

Re: Pinacle Souveran??

I have only had 1 or 2 clients who requested "the best wax for black that you have" and after giving them the Souveran durability explanation still wanted it. I think I charged them an additional $10, though probably would just bake it into future detailing costs as I feel it cheapens the detail to charge for "extras". Makes it seem as if I am not always doing my best and making the paint look its best.

Here are two shots of a '32 Ford Roadster I did this weekend with Souveran....its a great choice for a garage queen:

I did that the last time I waxed the Volvo wagon, and on the Jag I use Souveran over Autoglym SRP...so yeah, IMO it's a viable idea.

Using Souveran over something else *does* affect the look, but I wouldn't generalize it to the point of better/worse. You've just gotta try it and see what you think.

I'd spitshine if doing this, people have had Souveran mess with underlying Collinite, and that's some pretty tough stuff. I spitshined Souveran over 476S on the Volvo, using Griot's SpeedShine for the "spit".
