I just put a coat of Souveran on the wife’s SUV. It already had some good stuff on it, but I’ll see if she notices any differences.

It went on top of a few week old Polish Angel Black Wulfenite, which is an already amazing looking carnauba Spray with SiO2 and TiO2 base. Under poor garage lighting last night I couldn’t tell a difference. This morning I got 30 seconds to see my wife drive it out of the driveway. The car looked stunning, extremely rich black look to it. Perhaps a bit smoother reflections, Probably more so than before... but could have just been early morning lighting.
summary: whether in my head or not, I do believe I noticed it, and regardless, the car looks absolutely stunning, I think in a different, more rich way than it looked before (before was a bit more glassy and sharp).
Having dealt with ss a*LOT* since the `70s (and the Jag still has that; actually, I often prefer ss over b/c), oxidized ss can take some oomph; the chemical cleaners Meguiar`s put in their "Cleaners" back in the day were awfully potent for just that reason, had to be careful to do uniform work.
IME, even the most potent CleanerWaxes were often too mild, and I`d expect that to still be true, especially now that everything`s (cough cough) clearcoat-safe. I`d be leaning towards a dedicated Paint Cleaner or at least a potent AIO, but let`s see what Dr. Oldz thinks.
Of course the best course of action is to avoid the oxidation in the first place (though some say it`s inevitable and it might be to *some* extent if you want to split hairs).
Banana gloss may be good for maintaining SS paint but definitely not for oxidized SS. You need the #7 treatment or if the paint is thick enough, some mechanical abrasives. Even some of the best AIO’s with quality abrasives aren’t aggressive enough for severely oxidized SS paint.
