Durability, water beading are about the same. As far as shine/look SSII does a nice job poping metallic flakes, when Souveran Paste creates a deep wet finish.

The two wax's have different characteristics ...both are very good....

Sov paste is better on soild darks...reds..Blacks...yellows...blues..

Sig II does a fine job on metalics..it pops the flakes...were as Sov sorta mutes them....

any dark solids Sov exceeds in that class...

metalics and light colors...Sig II....Sig will look good on darks also....but the Sov is the winner on those colors....

Souveran does not carry the polymers that SSII does in order to provide more gloss and reflection. (thus why metallics seem to pop). Souveran however was designed to be one of the richest, wettest waxes while creating depth. Both are very nice, and both should be tried.

If you can find it, trying Pinnacles original Paste Glaz which was a great product in its own right. It still had alot of wetness and depth and looked great on light colors.

That reminds me to try mine Paste Glaz. It's still sitting somewhere...

Souveran Paste :
Looks great on dark colors and deep yellow.
It can give them a very wet almost liquid look.
Can make some colors of paint seem to glow.
Goes on and comes off easier then Signiture Series (I think it goes on and comes off easier then any other paste was I have tried.)
Smells great (Much better the Signiture Series IMO)
Pricey compared to Signiture Series

Signiture Series:
Does make metallic flake pop.
Looks very nice on most colors.
More reflective then Souveran.
Goes on and comes off easy compared to most waxes but not as easy as Souveran Paste.
Don't smell good IMO.
Very nice for the money especially when it's on sale.

As far as durability I think Signiture Series has a slight edge over Souveran Paste.

In summary I like and use them both. The one I use depends on the color/type of paint.

Victoria Wax. Decent durability for a carnauba wax, and very nice shine

while this little red wax aint bad ... its no Souveran. Infact, FK Pink wax would be a likely substitute for little red ridinghood.

FK Pink is soaked in kerosene! I tried it once and gave it away.
