I just ordered the Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Car Wax

[Mike Honcho]

Any tips on working with it? (Prolly gonna apply it by machine, if that makes a difference.) Thanks!

Hi Mike, no tips... I use a LC 5.5 CCS Blue and just circle it on the pad and apply in thin even coats. You don't need to wait for this wax to dry, just apply and wipe. Goes on easy, comes off easy, looks amazing and lasts a long time.

Yes very nice product.

[Mike Honcho]

Wow, no drying required? No hazing? Dang!

I just did my Lexus by hand a couple weeks ago with it. Put it own with a yellow foam pad by hand. By the time the wax was on the whole car, it hazed up a bit and I used one towel to take it off. Very easy to work with.

I use a blue flat lake country of to apply with my griots 6 inch polisher. Yep no drying, can wipe off anytime after it hits the paint and it wipes off literally like nothing was ever there. So easy to work with and great results.

Wait for it to haze and then wipe off. My guess 5 to 10 minutes. The liquid wax is not a WOWO wax. You will dig the wax...good stuff!!

I'm thinking the comments you've been getting about wiping off immediately may have been confused with the solid Souveran Wax which is wowo. In AG's instructions below it says to allow the Liquid version to dry.

Directions:

Shake well.
Liquid Souverän should be applied to paint that's free of contaminants and previously applied waxes and sealants. Use Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay to remove above surface contaminants and Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion to polish the surface. This will enable Liquid Souveran to form a complete bond to the surface, enabling maximum durability and shine.
Very important - apply a THIN coat! Apply a Nickel size amount of wax on the applicator and wipe a thin coat of wax on the surface using a circular or back-and-forth motion. This wax is not fussy. Use a motion that you are comfortable with. The beauty of this liquid wax is that you can do sections or the whole vehicle at once.
Work on a cool surface, out of direct sunlight. Allow the wax to dry to a light haze and buff off using a clean, soft microfiber towel.
Don't hesitate to apply this wax with a machine. Use a red or blue finishing pad with your Porter Cable 7424xp. Set the speed setting between 3 and 4. Work in a back and forth, then up and down motion. There's no need to apply pressure. Buff using a microfiber towel or a microfiber bonnet over a Lambswool 6 Inch Leveling Pad.

In theory, I guess if you do the whole car and then wipe off you should be good then? I swear I remember Mike saying that it can be wiped off right away when we did that Plymouth Satellite for the My Classic Car shoot.

"Liquid Souverän should be applied to paint that's free of contaminants and previously applied waxes and sealants."

So it has to be applied to "bare" paint, only? You can't layer it over other waxes and/or sealants?

[Mike Honcho]

Bump.

[07gtcs]

I put mine over BF Crystal Seal

Over a sealant/coating - yes. I would not layer it over another wax because technically Souveran is a "hybrid" formula, meaning it contains carnauba wax and synthetic polymers.

You're going to LOVE this stuff. :dblthumb2:

Thanks Nick!
