Pinnacle Waxes?

I see there are 2 waxes by pinnacle, the soveroun and the special 2.
The prices for the soveroun is about double, is it worth the difference?

Right now I am using Mother's Caranuba wax it costs around $10

I'm pretty sure this has been addressed in detail. I know a partial answer is the amount of carnuba.

Souveran is designed for blacks and reds, and make them look soaking wet.
SSII is for light colors and metallics, make flakes pop.

That depends if you feel that little extra wet/depth is worth the extra dough. A nice glaze and Nattys Blue can look dripping wet just that souveran can give you that little extra wetness/depth. But this blue looks great wearing Sig II

keep in mind that everyone likes somthing diffrent.

There are aTON of people on here who will tell you that sov. is the end all be all. And for them it is.
however only you can evaluate if its worth it.

So take what is said with a grain of salt.. and at the end of the way neither wax is that expesnive so why not try em both?
