Welcome back! While we do about 95 percent coatings, I still love just waxing a vehicle! I’m sure you’ve done a Griot’s Best of Show, which I hated years ago, now has got to be the easiest wax to remove. Thank you for your time!

its kinda my idea to let people make their own decision from what I convey. Why Might you choose it??? Good question. Easy on/off. Smells awesome. Respectful durability. Releases dirt and grime a bit easier that other waxes and you have a spare $200 you want to spend on a wax. Wasn’t necessarily my intention to give a negative review but more so to debunk Swissvax marketing ploy for this wax.

i guess trim can be an unclear topic. A lot of people consider the black plastics as trim. That’s more what I’m referring to.
Sure I can tell what wax is on my vehicle. But to walk up to a random vehicle and say that is so and so wax is impossible.
FK1000 is all synthetic
845 and OCW both contain Nuba.
I think I use less product when machine applying. I have a bottle of 845 that is just under half full with about 40 or so applications out of it. Seems to me that all the paste go further with machine application also.

To my eyes the Nubas with the most oils look the deepest and darkest (like Souveran). Less oils and more Nuba creates more shine and pop on metallics. These are just generalizations based on my experiences with waxes.

interesting observation,,I have a can of Car Brite easy off blue Nuba at work that I just love to use on silvers,light blues beige and gray after I polish.
While it`s not my go to wax for Vettes it`s just fine for a used Cruze or Malibu`s but it does have kind of solvent smell to it that I don`t really like.
Heh heh, consider it indeed debunked for this person, and it was pretty easy to, uhm...make my decision.
Huh, and here the way *I* interpreted your review it sounded pretty mediocre in that regard!Releases dirt and grime a bit easier that other waxes..
Ah yeah...different people end up on different sides of that fence. I`m awfully extreme about the "minimal product" when LSPing, no way I could ever use less doing it by machine. Sure do like it with some LSPs though!I think I use less product when machine applying. I have a bottle of 845 that is just under half full with about 40 or so applications out of it. Seems to me that all the paste go further with machine application also.
Sorry, didn`t mean to be ambiguous In this context I lumped everything, from hard plastic to exterior rubber seals, together. Eh, my bad...that`s painting with an awfully broad brush.
I remember all the Chicken Little predicting it would trash some of those materials "because of the petroleum distillates" and then expressing surprise that I`d already been doing it for decades with zero issues.

My wife somehow views Souveran on (Audi) silver completely different! She thinks it makes the metallic pop so much that "the silver looks kinda white"...she remembers it as "the White Wax" not for how it looks in the jar, but for how it made her car look. Eye of the beholder and all that, but I always thought that was a little odd.
Heh heh, all this wax talk is *almost* enough to make me want to wax something or at least go open up a can of something from Way Back and relive those days. Almost
Gee, I haven`t communed with my `77 tin of ProWax for ages...

I know Dr G has said OCW contains nuba. The AG web site says it also.

Apparently there is a time limit on editing post here. Would have liked to add links for every wax on post 3. Unfortunately I can not.
Pinnacle Signature Series II
Here is a wax I don’t see mentioned much anymore.
Great fruity exotic tropical smell to this wax.
Extremely easy on and off. Spreads like butter. Removal is done while still wet. A WOWO wax. Really nice removal and streak free even in humid hot climates. I prefer a medium nap MF but really any quality MF works well.
Comes in in a nice pot with an o ring seal that keeps it fresh for a long time.
Trim/plastic friendly.
40+ applications per jar if you apply whisper thin as you should with all waxes.
This is really plays well with any color. Very balanced look as far as gloss, depth, shimmer and clarity. It will make flakes stand out while still giving solid colors a nice look.
I have suggested this wax wax to many people over the years looking for an exotic style wax that won’t break the bank and everyone was happy.
Durability is about 2.5 months
I always enjoyed the way water behaved on a hood with wax. Hit about 30mpj and just watch all the beads roll up and basically dry itself.

You mention Pinnacle Souveran which is a very nice wax.
My only complaint for me was when I used it before a 400 mile road trip, swear it blew off by the time I got home.
Yes I`m gonna wax somethin` !
I have a small pot of this one, trying to decide on a full pot.
I tried it up against Blackfire`s Midnight Sun and BFMS was much easier to apply and remove. So I got a full pot of BF instead.
By the way
Thanks for the thread and Wax On !
Does that mean that carnauba is *not* a factor with regard to autopaint outgassing/curing? Hmmm...
Ah, OK...his word regarding what`s in his product is good enough for me!
As for the AG site...well...I`ll go with Dr. G on this one.
ALTHOUGH...I`ll say that the responses I got when ONR *TRASHED* 476S didn`t really engender confidence as I`ll take my first-hand observations over *ANYBODY`S* pronouncements every single time in any situation, period.
Heh heh...yeah, I always figured it should be redone after every wash. Best reserved for cars that are washed every time they`re driven and waxed every time they`re washed. And that magically avoid needing anything in the way of real protection.Originally Posted by Mary B
In other words...there are some practical reasons why I`ll probably never use it again even on garage queens, though I did like how it looked on the Jag (and when a `85 has about 20Kmiles you could call it a garage queen). And to think it was my primary LSP for a good number of years! Sheesh, the time I wasted on such stuff
