Menzerna Polish / Pinnacle Souveran Wax - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I've been researching waxes and polishes lately and have read quite a lot of good things about the products above.

The Menzerna is made in Germany and is touted to be a very good hand applied polish that will remove minor swirls and create a very smooth finish. Has anyone used this before, if yes what did you think? It's not too expensive at $15/Bottle so if no one has tried it I can always be the first.

The Pinnacle Souveran Wax is a Carnauba wax that is suppose to be the best out there. They say that it's really only designed for darker cars and it enhances the depth and shine like nothing else. Has anyone used this, was it worth the $60/Container?

Keep in mind I'm not looking for something that will provide extended protection, I want the best depth and gloss possible.

Thanks in advance.

Ronald,

Thanks for the reply, I'll definitely check out the site. I'm also going to do some research on the P21S Concours, been hearing good things about that one too!

Afshin,

I have Tried the P21s With mixed results.

The Pinnacle wax was good .But Not great

The Black Fire Set Up Was No Good The Stuff would NOT Dry!
Was Like Oil Smearing on the Paint...

Of All The The New Products I Have Tried..MOOSE Wax Is The
Best New Product that I Have Tested!..Even Beat Out Zaino..
I Was a Die Hard Zaino person til I tried Moose Wax!
The Product made The Black Paint Deep! And Removed ALL
The Slight...Swirls ...Even Under my Lights In The Garage!
It looks The Best Ever With MOOSE Wax!

I see I'm not the only one experimenting with waxes.

I just signed onto the sight as MBZ 500E, I'll probably post in a couple of days after I've had time to soak in all the information, I've been right on with a few products but it looks like there are couple others out there that might be better.

Curious, when you applied the P21 did you use a polish before it?

The Moose wax sounds interesting but I keep reading average reviews, I wonder if the paint type makes a big difference.

I didn't like the Zaino mainly because it hid my Pearlescence. Slickness was great but I'm not looking for just protection, I want the best "Look".

Looks like the Pinnacle is out since everyone gets nearly equivalent results with the P21S.
