I plan on following David W. Bynon's advice on preparing my New Mercury Marauder's Finish exactly as written, from Dawn Detergent, Pinnacle Paint Work Cleansing Lotion, Klasse All-In-One , 2-3 layers of Klasse Sealant Glaze, prior to applying Pinnacle Souveran Liquid Wax. After 2-3 Coats of that, I thought that I would then apply 2-3 Coats of Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax over top of the Pinnacle Souveran Liquid Wax, with Sprays of 'Cyrstal' in between layers of Pinnacle, and Sprays of 'Klasse Spritzer' over the layers of Klasse.
Is Appying Pinnacle Paste Wax over Pinnacle Liquid Wax a perferred way to complete this Process, for a more pronounced "Deep Wet Look"?
Personally, if you're planning to use the LS, the Klasse is not necessary (IMHO). Although I have not tried it yet, Souveran Paste over LS should work just fine.

- OOPS!
After reading your Post about a month ago, I ordered a "Starter Kit of both 'KLASSE' and 'PINNACLE SOUVERAN' Finish Products, so will follow the same sequence that your Article suggested. I hope that the Dealer Delivery Preparation of the Marauder's Black Clear Coat does not produce any unwanted 'Swirls', etc. If it does however, do you feel that the abundance of all of these Pre-Wax Products being applied to the Finish should pretty much eliminate them?
I've stuck with the complete Line of ZAINO Products from Z-1 through Z-7 for my Black Lexus SC 430, but feel for Ford's Black Paint, the Pinnacle Souveran & Klasse Products will work better, and produce a Deeper, Wetter-Looking Shine.
Thanks for your prompt reply. It's very much appreciated!

Good Thinking Al!
Why haven't I thought of that, after all my preparations and plans? Your suggestion makes a heck of a Lot of sense!
I'm stoping in at the Dealer tomorrow, and advising them that that's exactly what I want them to do.

hey, glad I could help. just peel the plastic and do a dawn wash and then clay if needed. The car should require no polishing where the plastic was and it may(doubtful) where there was no plastic. I also recommend claying the areas that were covered in plastic first, then move on to the other panels. Good luck
edit: make sure you tell them NOT TO TOUCH THE CAR AND BE FIRM! I told my lexus dealer just to take off the stickers from the windows and leave everything else. I guess the message was lost between the salesman and the detailer, because my car was washed and ended up getting the simoniz paint protect, grrrr... The car is silver and has very very minor swirls, but I dont care cuz I get blinded trying to find them.
