Product description

Pinnacle liquid souveran car wax is formulated using the maximum amount of carnauba wax possible in a liquid formula.  before the carnauba wax is liquefied it goes through a refining process that was originally developed exclusively for pinnacle's flagship souveran paste wax.  After the carnauba wax is refined and All the impurities are removed, pinnacle's proprietary crystalline polymers are then fused with the wax.  this unique blending process makes Pinnacle liquid souveran car wax unlike any other liquid car wax available.

• 3-D, wet-looking shine
• Lasts up to 5 months
• Advanced crystalline polymers provide winter-tough protection

User questions & answers

Question:	Who do you ship by?i dont use or like fedex. Ups or usps sre good for me
Answer:	Ups and Fedex are the ones for me
Question:	Is this the new formula or the old one? (New Formula is thicker and contains more crystalline polymers for added durability, gloss and slickness
Answer:	I am not familar with the original formula, but this do provide the gloss and slickness on the final finished. I have not had it on the car long enough to know if it is durable.
Question:	How long does the product last before needing to be reapplied? Does this product provide UV protection
Answer:	probably about 3 months or so... but it depends on how much u wash it too. Also has uv protection but u would be far better off buying THE CAR GUYS LIQUID WAX SEALENT because it lasts about 9 to 12 months, more durable, and it gives your car a much deeper shine than pinnacle's wax. So for about an extra 10 dollar difference u get more bang for the buck in every possible way with THE CAR GUYS LIQUID WAX SEALENT. Therefore, that's the only reason that I can't recommend pinnacle wax...... unless they cut their price in half.
Question:	can I use this on top of jescar power lock plus polymer sealant? also does this wax have cleaners in it? or zero cleaners in it? thank you
Answer:	I’m using it on top of a paint sealant, lots of people are doing the same and the feed back it’s positive, deep shine, extra protection, all carnuba waxes have cleaners that can remove light dirt on surfaces, if a machine is used it will remove more dirt

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be applied using a pump sprayer (garden or small hand held) for a 22 foot boat
Answer:	I use a 28oz professional spray bottle....so you should be able to use a pump sprayer. Just remember that this is not a rub on/buff off wax like your standard paste type waxes. It's designed to be sprayed on while vehicle is still wet from rinse after washing. Then wipe off with a good chamois type drying towel. It"s a nice quick shine when you don't have time for a full blown paste wax job.
Question:	Is this spray carnuba or synthetic based
Answer:	Hello, it has carnauba wax in it.Thanks,
Question:	Can this be used in a foam canon to apply to medium size boat
Answer:	Hello. This is not a product that you would want to foam up during application.
Question:	Does this product help fill up light starches
Answer:	Yes. It definitely helps to cover and hide light surface scratches and leaves a great shine. A good buffing helps after application.

User questions & answers

Question:	May I use this right after I wash my car
Answer:	Their sister product, Meguiar's Ultimate Wax, has a 3 - 5 minute dry time. I think no more than 10-20 minutes is required or desirable, unless the label says otherwise.
Question:	Can I apply this after waxing my car or will it remove previous wax application
Answer:	There is an applicator inside the can's lid, but I didn't get a microfiber towel. I bought and really like these; http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A8MZ7IA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01
Question:	Ok is this different from the liquid wax sealant? Does it go on after the sealer or is it the same thing
Answer:	Go around and apply it to the entire vehicle in one go. That will give the first panel enough time to cure and you can begin buffing off the now dry, hazy wax.
Question:	I was thinking about using this on myself right after I get out of the shower...is that ok and will it keep my skin moist
Answer:	I use both, the paste works good on all cars and easier to buff out. The liquid takes longer to dry and smears when use too much. If you have a black or dark color car the paste is your best choice.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long does this last? When would I have to reapply it
Answer:	When applied correctly you will get up to 1 year of durability and protection depending on your washing regime and climate, but for the absolute best results and for daily drivers we like to apply every 6 months; once before winter and once before summer. Water beading will last around 6-8 months, again depending on your washing regime and climate. So you can certainly get away with applying once a year, but we like keeping our vehicles looking fresh! Thanks for the question!
Question:	I have 2011 fusion that had the zyilon finished at the dealer when i bought it in 2011. I really want to rewax, is this a good option for me
Answer:	This wax is the best I have used on any of my cars (BMW's and Porsche's). It went on easily and has kept it's finish and slick feel to my feel. I wash my car at least every other week, by hand, and after four washes the wax is still there. I've used a lot of very expensive waxes and finishes...I will buy this product again.
Question:	Does the paint have to be "clay bar" before applying this
Answer:	If your paint has been neglected and is in bad shape we do recommended clay bar to get the best looks and durability out of our sealant. You can certainly apply it and still have great results without clay bar but if you have the extra patience and time we would suggest taking the extra step to also clay bar your vehicle beforehand to get that next level shine. Hope this helps!
Question:	If what paint was recently waxed, should I remove it before applying the sealant
Answer:	Since our sealant has up to 1 year of durability, it should be the first product applied. Wax only has the durability to last a month or so before it starts breaking down. When you have a wax underneath our sealant, the wax will start breaking down before our sealant, causing our sealants durability to be shorter.So we recommend our sealant first, and then wax can be applied over it(our spray wax), then when the wax breaks down you can simply apply another coat of wax while our sealant will still remain underneath. Thanks for the question!

User questions & answers

Question:	How many cars can you do with a 16oz
Answer:	1/2 dozen. Befuddled by people who are telling you that they can do a whole car with less than an ounce on each car. You have to be a pretty disciplined detailer to stretch the product that thin. The average person will put it on 1/2 dozen cars.
Question:	can this be used on boats
Answer:	Boats, Aircraft you name it. This product denoted as "sealant" does not comprise of organic wax such as carnauba. The properties of this synthetic product therefore will out last and increase effectiveness over organics. As standard waxes of organic compounds last about a month or more, this synthetic sealant will easily out last the elements by months. And to take it even further than waxes, ceramic based product can last six months to a year but are very expensive. I use this product on the most critical areas of my car such as the top, hood, and trunk to protect against the sun and standard contaminants. On my rims I use this product to protect against brake dust. The application is very easy. Wax on / wax off. Leave a period of a half hour between application and removal.
Question:	Can I use this product after I already waxed a vehicle or do I need to remove the wax
Answer:	Remove the wax. Highly recommend to use a clay bar first then Poxy then wax . Very easy to do. Love HD products !
Question:	can you wax over it with a pure carnauba wax
Answer:	yes, but anticipate a completely different look. This product looks more like what your car looks like after a polishing but before wax. I don't think it looks or feels as wet as a carnauba.
