One user says Pinnacles best wax does not last as long as Meguiars Gold.
What wax do you use on your Benz?

Other user says it lasts longer than Meguiars.
Best Wax


By the way, Pinnacle says this:
To achieve the ultimate depth of color, the most spectacular wet-look shine, and maximize logevity of waxed surface - apply Liquid Souveran Wax over an application of Souveran Paste.


Pinnacle looks very expensive. They claim it is not expensive because one can wax 25 cars with an 6 oz paste wax can. If I buy it, however, the paste wax will dry out before I use it 25 times.

Pinnacle looks best on darker cars. It's an appearance wax not a protectant wax. Yeah it has protection but it doesn't last very long, however it deepens the look of darker paints (especially black and red) and makes them look wetter than most any other product available.

I've done tests on my hood using Pinnacles Souveran and Meguiars NXT, the Souveran looks darker and lets the metallic shine through better but only by a slight margin. For the money I'd go for the NXT, unless you have a garage queen which you want to spoil.

If I owned an 040 MB I'd definitely be using Souveran.
