NewNiceMrMe Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I've been a big fan of this wax for years now but this is the first car I've owned that has given me the opportunity to see what it is like on the colour Pinnacle recommend it for - black. The Z is Sapphire Black Metallic and this morning I finished off what now amounts to 4 coats of Souveran on it over a 4 week period. It started lashing it down with rain the moment I'd finished (torrential too) so I was only able to get pictures of the one dry area - that under the garage overhang - the bonnet. I'm chuffed to bits with the results. It really does gleam and the flash probably hasn't helped on the pictures as it has washed out some of the depth of shine.

Maxyboy Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I used to use it on the dbp r32 but it was wasted on the moonstone silver bm and the insignia doesn't get washed never mind polished. It is a great polish though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsheldon Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I use it, bought originally for my Sparkling Graphite BMW which as you say is a dark colour to show off the depth. I layer it on top of Klasse Glaze which seals the paint, I have a Silver Grey BMW now, so not quite as dark, Still shines nice with good beading. I top up between waxing which is forever based on last car with a quick detailer, I love Dodo Juice Red Mist. Used after washing, the last car never seemed to need rewaxing.

wyliss Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I use it on my Audi, Akoya Silver, and it looks good. I suppose it really is meant for a black car though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I've never used it but heard good reports. That certainly looks very good on the Z! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 It's a shame black cars seem to show dust so easily. It's gleaming, but my god it really shows even the finest layer of dust after a day of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussZS Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I've used it a few times - it's a great Summer wax, but not nearly durable enough for Winter, it seems to be gone after 4 weeks or so Stunning finish while it lasts, though!

NewNiceMrMe Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 To be honest Russ I apply it every 2 weeks on different panels to keep the protection and shine there all the time. It is a short lasting wax, no doubt about it - but it really does tick the boxes in the shine and beading stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, there's something very therapeutic about waxing, so it's a good choice for getting some waxing time in I'm using Auto Finesse's Spirit at the moment, which has impressed me deeply.
