Hello Autogeek friends!

I decided to give my 2013 Genesis a full wax application today since i had some time to kill. I did a 1 step correction on this car back in late March so claying the car wasn't needed.

Strictly Pinnacle Natural Brilliance products were used for this detail. I guess you can consider this a review as well as "Show n Shine" :)

I tend to stick with Chemical Guys, Blackfire and DoDo Juice products, so always good to try something new :dblthumb2:


The process started with washing the car using a two bucket method with grid guards. The shampoo used was a Free Sample from AG!!! i've had this little bottle last me for 3 car washes and still got some for 1 more!!! :props:

After drying the car using a leaf blower (my neighbors think I'm crazy), i decided to use LC Red Ultrasoft pad with my Porter Cable 7424XP and the Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax

Here are the results:

Lastly, i sprayed each panel gently with Pinnacle Natural Brilliance Crystal Mist Carnauba Detail Spray to enhance the gloss, here are the final results;

This was my first time working with Pinnacle products and i am very satisfied. The shampoo leaves a nice smooth glossy finish, the Liquid Souveran Wax was easy to apply and wipe off when dried to a haze.
What i really liked was the Crystal Mist as it has Carnauba and wiped off like nothing. I wanna say i prefer this over the Dodo Juice Basics of Bling Detail Spray but i find both amazing. :nomore:

No feedback except it looks great:dblthumb2:. I love working with Pinnacle products, each has its own distinct scent and easy to work with. To maintain that shine grab some Pinnacle Waterless Wash concentrate and the new Souveran Liquid Spray Wax.

Also nice ride:dblthumb2:

Thank You! I am still educating myself on Waterless/Rinseless washes but will definitely keep it in mind when shopping AG.

Nice job! I have enjoyed the Pinnacle line myself. Signature Series II and the shampoo in particular.

Thanks guys,

I did wash the car two days ago but washed it again due to light dust on the paint, didn't want to take my chances with machine waxing.

For a car that has little dust, would you do a Rinseless or a Waterless?

Waterless. Drench the panel and wipe with plush MF towel and buff to shine.

Thanks for that, i did read it and pulled up the BlackFire Waterless as well as the Optimum. They both do about the same work, however Blackfire costs nearly 50% more than the Optimum. Debating which i should try first..

Go with the pinnacle waterless concentrate. I believe the 16 oz concentrate makes 4 gallons. For rinseless go with the optimum with nuba:props:

I like sticking to one line of product, just a personal preference.

Thank You for all your help, will order it later today. So convenient!

I tend to stick to a product line or two myself, but still like to experiment with others once in a while.
