Since I`m a souper jeanyus I made sure that I forgot my camera in my hotel in Toronto last weekend. That way I couldn`t take pictures of this stuff. :rolleyes: CURSES!!!
Well, let me give you my initial impression of this stuff. First of all, I have to say that its the best smelling stuff when you are applying it. It seriously smells like a vanilla milkshake. It made me so hungry... mmmmmm
Application was a breeze. I would compare it to application of Blackfire or even Meguiars Gold Class Liquid. I applied it with a PC and found that it spread very easily. A little goes a long way with this stuff.
Buffing it off was really easy too. I would compare it to AIO when its good and dry. Really simple.
Initially I was blown away by the reflection. I had just had the overspray problem the weekend that I got the LS. I did an ABC wash and clayed the whole thing. I put a layer of AIO on just to make sure I got all the paint and then I put one layer of Platinum. Then on with the Liquid Soveran. It was hard to tell at first if the shine and apperance I was seeing was from the LS or from the Plat.
Of course, right as I pull the car out to go to work last Monday it started to rain. Crap! On Tuesday I washed it again because I really didn`t get a chance to see how well this stuff looked in the daylight. That was when the reflection first hit me. I know that this has something to do with the LS because I`ve washed my car before with Plat on it and I never got a reflection like that in direct sunlight. Check this out...

That is direct sunlight on a white car reflecting a hose on the driveway! I`ve never seen my car reflect like that in direct sunlight. Usually its just brighter than hell and you can`t bear to look at it. As usual, the real life image was even more impressive than the photo.
This week I`ve been sort of bummed out. LS is weird stuff. When I walk by my car in the afternoon and I can see the glare of the sun in the hood or something, it looks kinda fuzzy. Its not the clear and crisp shine that I`m used to. Its almost as if LS is amazing from a distance, but the closer you get, the fuzzier the image gets. I don`t know if that is just because its on white or if that is just the way it is. I`ll try it on my Accord so I can tell for sure.
Another thing that is missing is the slickness. I felt the car after the Plat went on and it was smooth as it had ever been. It had just been freshly clayed and Klassed so it couldn`t really get any smoother. I felt the car yesterday and it doesn`t feel as smooth. Instead of feeling smooth like a polished rock it felt smooth like a rubber hose. Very interesting. That part of it doesn`t really make me happy. I`m going to strip it off this weekend and start over again. I`m thinking of going back to Klasse for a few layers. Get 5 layers of Klasse on there and then put the Platinum and regular Souveran on top of it. Not having the crisp reflection that I`ve had ever since I became an Autopian sort of bummed me out and I need to do something drastic. Hopefully it isn`t a problem with my car or something. I`ll try it on a darker car to be sure.
For now my impression of LS is that it give an awesome look from a distance. When I look down on my car from my office window I can tell that it has a wet look and is very glossy. Up close I can still see the gloss but the images are a little blurry. It feels smooth but its less smooth than just a freshly clayed surface. Thumbs up on the view from afar but I`m not a fan of the feel. I`ll report more later when I`ve had more time to test. The test on my car is over though. I need my reflections back.
