    Carnauba Wax Topper

    Will applying a topper such as Beadmaker, or Xtreme Solutions Topper help maintain the integrity of Carnauba wax.

    I recently applied 2 coats (separated by 72 hours between coats) of Pinnacle Souveran paste wax and it looks fantastic.

    My car is a true "garage queen" used only for a weekly car show, however in direct hot sunlight for 3-4 hours at a time.

    So wondering if you think a "topper" would help maintain the integrity of the wax longer, and maybe even give it an additional bump in gloss, or, am I better off just giving it another coat of wax every month or so ?

    Thank you !

    Re: Carnauba Wax Topper

    Unfortunately I'm not able to answer your question, but I'd like to add one to the mix on this subject -

    With a carnauba wax base, do you run the risk of compatibility issues (streaking/hazing/etc) that might not be present with a sealant/coating base?

    Souveran is such a pleasure to use I’d happily just add another coat
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    Any topper will mask the characteristics of the Souveran. That said, there is nothing wrong with a spray wax but the law of diminishing returns applies here.

    Pinnacle has a liquid souveran spray wax, if you're worried about product synergy then that is the logical choice

    Pinnacle Souveran Liquid Spray Wax 16 oz.
