SO I 86's my Adams stuff and have now switched to pinnacle and Klasse. :spot



Anyone have any reviews or expierience with the follwoign pinnacle products:



Paintwork cleansing lotion (light polish,no abrasives, contains fillers)



Advanced swiril remover (medium polish, light cutting ability, no fillers, contains diminshing abrsives)



Advanced finishing polish (final polish, no fillers or abrasives



I also got the souveran paste wax, but why discuss a product that has been discussed a million times. Im trying to avoid starting dull and old news threads.



thanks in advance
 
The ASR and AFP are eh...nothing great. Got them with the starter kit with my PC and can't really see myself using them again. Dusts a bit, expensive and didn't really notice any great cutting ability.
 
The Swirl Remover I found struggled a little to remove swilrs, even on softer paints by PC - but what it did do was leave a very nice wet looking finish. The AFP I really like, its an excellent finishing polish for only light marring, and a very nice wet looking finish again.



What I really would like to do is try these out on the rotary and see if that kicks in any greater swirl removal capability... In fact, thats exactly what I'm gonna do when I next get a spare moment.
 
The PCL has been reformulated and I've only used the older stuff. It *did* have mild abrasives, just that they were so mild that you couldn't expect any real correction, at least not unless your paint was *very* soft. Decent cleaning, and very user-friendly. I always liked this product though I haven't used it all that recently. As a very mild paint cleaner that leaves some mild fillers behind instead of some mild protection (like AIO leaves) it's good stuff.
 
The only thing worth having out of that list is the PCL. It is a light cleanser/glaze that is easy to work with and works well on an already polished car that just needs freshening.



Crystal Mist is a must have for keeping Souveran alive between washes.



The XMT's are better than the aforementioned swirl removers.
 
You should look at the Pinnacle XMT line. If you havent opened the swirl removers, I suggest a return.



My favorites are the XMT3, XMT1, and the XMT Carnuba Glaze.



XMT3 is so versatile, it can be heavy cut on a yellow pad, then an intermediate on an orange. Plus the XMT line is made just for the pc.



heres some results I got using the XMT line. Pics are in chronological order of XMT polishing:

Nice. You should check out the other thread by Fast05stang about his XMT expierience. It's all bad news. We did a black metallic pearl 300C with the ASR/PCL followed by AIO and SG - 90% of pain defects were gone, had to spot buff with a yelloe 4'' lc pad and asr to remove some bad cc scratches. Man paint is very finicky . . . .



on your xmt 1 app - did you ise a white or orange



what about the carnuba glaze - white or black pads?
