For those who are curious like me,

I wanted to add to these thread's:

Here is 1oz of Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax:

Just to do a little experiment,I'm going to let the Pinnacle SSW sit out until the product evaporates all the water and dries up.

did it dry up yet?

Let's be fair here, there are likely other volatiles in a spray wax besides "water". And, comparing the volume of what is left after the volatiles evaporate is not necessarily an indicator of how good the product is. For instance, if you took enough Souveran paste wax to do one car, and enough Opti-Coat 2.0 to do one car, and put them in your shot glass and let them evaporate to equilibrium, I would lay odds that there would be more left in the Souveran glass than in the Opti-Coat glass. Does that mean that Souveran is a better LSP because the non-volatile residue is larger?

I just had an interesting idea .... I am going to see if I can use one of the centrifuges at work to see if I can separate out a sample and perhaps confirm what you see in the evaporation test.

That is apples and oranges. While we all know this test doesn't mean one product is better than the other comparing the products Chris is comparing are closer to the same class than what you are suggesting. Its a fun and creative test. People just have to keep things in perspective.

Yeah, but we all know the "point" of this test is to "prove" that the GTechniq product has more carnauba in it than Souveran spray. But we really won't know what the carnauba content is of either of them after this test...if the GTechiniq stuff has twice as much left after evaporation, it could still have half as much carnauba in it...with out someone doing an anaylsis of the residue. So although it may be a "fun" test, it's hardly scientific. Besides, he hasn't told us what the temperature and humidity is local to his shot glass :p

what about tryin this with a tin of turtle wax paste wax.....

No worries,Just curious!

If IID would have the time and be willing to do so, it would be interesting, though, to see how:

Turtle Wax Express Shine spray wax or Turtle Wax Ice spray wax; or, even Turtle Wax's Platinum Series Ultra-Gloss liquid wax and Super Hard Shell liquid wax.....

would fare in the same testing method as he has applied to other spray/liquid products. .

I know I won't. No need to ask me. :)

:iagree:

But I'm also concerned about what kind of messages that this kind of testing, though creative, may leave upon impressionable minds. I will have to stand by my posts (#s 2 & 3) in the OP's other testing thread (listed below), until otherwise informed differently.

Well,I started this thread a week ago:
http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/37568-let-s-see-what-happens.html

I filled up a a measuring glass with 1oz of Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax:

I then set the glass outside on my back deck for some evaluation from evaporation.The glass did sit in the sun outside but I would have not thought it would of turned the color it did?


Here are the after pic's:

Let me state,I'm not testing anything BUT what remains in the glass after all water type products evaporated.I was JUST curious :xyxthumbs:

Here is almost 1oz of GTechniq C3 Caranuba Spray:

Again,this was only a curiosity test ;)
