View Full Version : Please Help Me Top Decide...
If you have tried using Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax, I need your opinion to help me decide if it is worth buying a $59.95 worth of 8.oz Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax. Is there really a big difference from S100 / PS21 Paste Wax?
I live in the Philippines and spending for $59.95 plus international shipment is really a BIG DEAL. For some people here in our country... the Pinnacle Souveran Paste wax is equivalent to 1 month of their salary.
Hope you can provide me feedback and product opinion.
By the way, I currently have 2 coats of Klasse AIO and about 5 coats of Klasse SG. (See Picture Below)

We got no picture, but if it is worth that much, I would say no, not that BIG of a difference, on a black car, it is a little deeper, but IMO i dont think it is worth a months salary.
Sorry the pictures was prevented from uploading by the system coz the same pics have been posted in another forum.
Here is the pics attached from my previous posting.

jaim - Yeah, what you have now looks great. IF (big IF) you want to top it, I`d go with the P21S. I`ve used a LOT of Souveran, and there ARE subtle differences between Souveran and P21S, but if you`re even THINKING about the price, go with P21S. Plus, I think P21S would hold up better in your climate. Souveran is a sorta "soft" wax, especially in high heat conditions. And as far as those subtle differences go, you might even PREFER the P21S!
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I really appreciate it very much.
Now, I have a good reason to tell and convince my self not to buy Pinnacle Souverann Paste Wax.
I really like how you guys used my Klasse pictures to illustrate the difference that I will be getting If I apply Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax which is NOT MUCH A DIFFERENCE... or the difference will not justify the cost of US$59.95
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

jaim- Glad to offer my $0.02. Given your climate, I`d consider just sticking with the SG, replenishing it from time to time and/or using a SG-friendly QD after each wash. I`m getting great results with BF`s QD on my SG and the Sonax (sp?) QD is MADE for this.

I`ve heard great things about Trade Secret from topoftheline.com. Seems to be very similar to Souveran.

QUESTION:
Will US$47.50 per tub of Pinnacale Souveran Wax now becomes reasonable to purchase already based on what I have discussed first-above.
I saw the Pinnacle Souveran product at 2 for US$95.00 at
http://www.***************.net/pinsouvwax.html
Now.... the devil is playing music on my ears :sosad telling me to go for it!!!
Any opinions to help me decide :confused:
By the way, I am going to get somebody to purchase with me the 2 for U$95.00 so we can have the product at US$47.50 each.

jaim, that`s a great price for Souveran...but it`s still almost twice as much as P21S, not to mention S100...you could get 3 tubs! (Granted, these are both only 6 oz per). Personally, I love Souveran, but with shipping that cost is out of control! Have your friend split the shipping on 2 tubs of S100. That way, you`ll love the wax and the price

I`ve used both on my black car and honestly, I wouldn not buy Souveran again. Sure it looks great, but so does S100, EX, and others. My point is spend the money on paint prep products or a PC if you do not have one already. Souveran has its place, but if I were in your shoes, S100 is the way to go.

I have to agree with Greg on this one. I have always been a big fan of Pinnacle Souveran and have used it exclusively on my show car. The shine is fantastic.
Recently I have been messing with Megs #7 and S100 and I am really finding it hard to tell the difference between the 2.
Dont get me wrong I love Souveran but when its difficult to tell the difference with a product that costs $14.95 vs $69.95 it really makes you wonder.
Both apply just as easily and the results are just as stunning.
Thank you guys for your feedback!
I will probably spend the money budgeted for souveran on other detailing products...
