liquid souveren`s durability?

**joyriide1113** · 11-30-2004, 11:22 AM

i know souveren is more of a show car wax, but can anyone actually give me an estimate of how long it will last. i wanna detail my mothers 760li with black bmw paint using clay, ssr1, and jumping str8 to souveren without a synthetic under it. im willing to wash and wax every two weeks.

i just need to know the durability of:

protection
gloss
beeding
slickness
i live in miami and its not as hot as summer and its actually been fairly cool. any insight on what would happen?

I think LS does a fine job. On a black or red, the look is stunning. It beads water pretty well, in tight little beads. I would venture to say it lasted me about 4 weeks, and that`s because the next time I topped the NXT, I used S100. It is also slicker than most of the other carnaubas I have tried. I think for ease of use and looks on my red vehicle, LS is very hard to beat.

Slickness seems to last awhile. Like Jared said, 4 weeks and it`s about done. I love LS, makes the paint look very wet.

LS is nice wax that will last 3 weeks or so, but IMO you might want to consider using a sealer instead of a wax. The reason being, is that the wax tends to melt off in the heat, where a polymer sealer is going to last longer. On black there are several good choices: 4* UPP, FMJ, WG, EX.

The current climate isn`t hot enough to affect wax.
