Liquid Souveran Wax *NEW*

[derek37]

Anyone try the new LS? Any thoughts? Autogeek is blowing `em out at $10 a bottle and even though I have enough wax (nattys-both, p21s, #16,26(which hardly ever gets used), signature, american shine liquid carnuaba) i was thinking that for $10 it might be something to get. I don`t have Souveran paste and I`m not really thinking about getting any SP. Yeah I know it`s the bomb :drool: but I`m just wondering about the SL for the moment.

I don`t care, i just bought two bottles, thanks for the heads up.

I`ve used LS before and it isnt even near the league of the paste. I would personally pass on the offer.

[BigLouMaxSE]

damn it....I couldn`t wait 30 seconds for the reply. Any way to get out of the order now?



I guess the question is now, will it match PS`s lesser counterparts in paste form? And will it still be a really good wax?

I thought about getting it w/my last order--from what I`ve read it seems like it isn`t great at $25, but it`s bound to be better than just about any $25 wax. I know Jngnbrdmn likes it a lot--this is what he says about it on his website OCDetails.com:



Now this is some good stuff. Liquid Souveran is probably the finest liquid wax that I have ever used. I used to think that it didn’t get better than Meguiar’s Gold Class liquid wax. Then one day I got the opportunity to trade another product for a bottle of Liquid Souveran. Man, am I ever glad I made that trade. The reflections and depth that this product puts on the car is really impressive. It was one of the first products that I used that actually helped me get reflections on my white car in direct sun. Its no trick to get reflections on a black car or any other color if its in the shade, but white is just not the color to get if you want reflections. I got them with Liquid Souveran. Below is a picture of my car in direct sunlight reflecting the hose on the driveway. That may not seem too impressive, but its the first product that I have used that got me a reflection like that in direct sunlight. White usually just gets bright in the sun and doesn’t reflect anything.



I guess I’m just a sucker for those deep and wet looking cars. I know that a couple of those are in the shade and not really fair pictures, but they looked just as good in the sun. Sometimes I just can’t get the car into the light for a picture. Consider how often your car is in the shade anyway. This is a look that you are going to love on your car. It will give you wet reflections on any color.

Don`t get me wrong, it`s an alright wax. But the durability is lacking and I get better results from natty`s blue and OCW which are both somewhat cheap waxes. If your dead set on using a PC for waxing, this would be a good choice for a liquid wax.



To get out of your order you might wanna email matt@autogeek.net and see if he`ll cancel the order in the morning. You could always give them a call first thing in the morning and cancel it before they process overnight orders.

Well, I just sold a bottle to a friend of mine, so at least I don`t have two on my hands. Durability is not as much of a problem, as I will continue my KSG treatment before the Souveran. I`m sure I won`t be disappointed, and it`s gotta be better than Meg`s Gold Class which is the same price as the LS that I just bought...



And just for clarification, when you say the durability is lacking, is that compared to the Paste, or waxes in general? I can`t imagine it being less durable than OTC products at least...let`s hope.

[imported_Neothin]

I got about a month and a half out of it. That was a garaged vehicle too that never saw water except for when it was washed (our golf cart). It`s a better wax than gold class hands down. the paint looked like it needed a reapplication but still beaded water. It degrades alot like the paste counterpart, it looks bad but still beads.



Don`t forget that once you top your not going to be able to add more layers of SG, so get all the layers your going to want on before you top.

I`ve been throwin` around the idea of ordering a bottle of it. For $10, you really can`t go wrong. I read somewhere that it is geared more towards lighter colored cars than the paste (why, I`m not sure?) so I thought it might be a nice topper for my silver metallic car, but I already have enough carnauba`s for the time being.... (CMW, Natty`s Blue, Souveran Paste, Collinite 845, S100, #16).



Maybe you`ll be pleasantly surprised with it. If not, you`re only out ~$10 and liquid carnauba seems to go pretty quick, especially when it`s layerable.

I found it`s best on the Candy type colors. Bright RED and WRC Blue to name a few

That is LS on top of 3layers of SG

I do like LS. Very easy to apply - and it is incredibly slick.

Good smelling too.

[SpoiledMan]

Anyone try the new LS?





Where does the "new" part of it come in? Looks like the old stuff to me.

[White95Max]

Well Autogeek claims that it is "extremely long lasting". With more solvents (and therefore probably a lower carnauba content) I can`t see how it would last any longer than the paste. That is, as long as it`s the same thing as the paste. If it`s got polymers added to it or something, then maybe it would.



Regardless, I have too much wax already!

[brianshaeffer]

The Pinnacle site says it uses polymers developed for Blackfire. My experience is that it is much more durable than paste Souveran.
