Product:
Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion
Price: $19.99 USD per 16 oz
Price per application: not sure did not use a lot, was very inexpensive for a cleansing lotion
Texture/color: it was a white creamy liquid (minds out of the gutter), very similar to liquid sov. wax. It was not thick, yet not thin. In the middle I guess. It almost looked like icing sugar with to much water added
Smell: Not sure what it was, but it wasn’t bad or offensive. Nothing special but hey no biggie.
Directions as per pinnacle:
(copied from AG web site)
Hand Application:
Wash the vehicle with Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo (http://www.autogeek.net/pinpainclean.html)and towel dry with a Cobra Microfiber Waffle Weave Towel. (http://www.autogeek.net/cobra-waffle-weave.html)
Apply a nickel-size amount of Paintwork Cleansing Lotion to a terry or microfiber applicator pad. Spread it over a 2 sq. ft. section using light pressure.
Working in a back and forth motion will lessen the likelihood of producing swirls if a piece of dirt becomes trapped in the applicator pad.
The lotion will dry to a haze. Buff lightly with a soft, clean microfiber towel. You can also use the Pinnacle Polishin` Pal (http://www.autogeek.net/pinpp.html) to apply Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. A 4 inch white pad will enhance the cleaning properties of the lotion and keep your hands clean during application.
How I used it: I applied a small amount on a foam applicator pad. I started with the drivers side hood and applied the product in a back and forth motion for a few minutes, or until it was almost clear.
I then let the cleansing lotion sit while I went and applied the next section. In this case the next half of the hood.
I then went back to the previous section and wiped off using a mf polishing cloth.
Application/ Removal: I found this very easy to apply and take off. Like butter. It was very simple. I have no complaints.
How did it work: It seamed to clean the paint well. I used it on a 2001 accord, that was gold. I did not clay as the customer did not pay for it. The cleansing lotion seamed to leave the paint very soft.
It took everything out that I wanted out. It did not leave the paint as smooth as clay but was defiantly better then many paint cleansers.
I did a review on hd-cleanse so I will compare it to that. It seamed to work better then the hd-cleanse and can be purchased in larger sizes.
Final thoughts: I really liked this cleanser. will I buy it again, I don’t know. I have a half dozen still to try. I liked it, it was inexpensive and did what I said it did. I would recommended it.
