WTB: Quality Carnuba Wax
Guys,
I'm a car enthusiasts and enjoy detailing. I love the look of Carnuba wax on my Silver car and was wondering the next best option to the Pinnacle Soverign Carnuba which I would pay if the next best thing is not close in look. I prefer Liquid but can work with paste...
I have been using Meguiar's M26 Yellow paste waste which contains Carnuba and if I can do better, I'm up for the task.
Thanks,
Wig

Two with price tags similar to M26:
• 3M Perfect It Show Car Paste Wax, 3m 39526, creates an ultra high gloss finish, with long-lasting protection!
• S100 Carnauba Wax is a hand-poured blend of German waxes, proprietary ingredients and pure Brazilian Carnauba wax. motorcycle wax, bike wax, s100
Two that costs a little more:
• P21S 100% Carnauba Wax is P21S's first car wax made with pure carnauba wax, no other waxes. P21S pure carnauba car wax, P21s car wax, P21S carnuba
• P21s Wax, P21s concours carnauba wax, p21s carnauba wax, carnauba wax, car wax

Re: WTB: Quality Carnuba Wax
OK I will be up front on this one....I am NOT a Collinite Fan for ANY of their waxes. They are finicky when put on. If you put any of their waxes on thick, it is very difficult to remove. Additionally, it will haze or ghost over a sealant (1st hand experience). The 845 is a sealant/wax I believe. So I am in the minority on this, however, it could be just me as everyone seems to have a great experience with Collinite.
IMO you hit the nail on the head with your choice. Pinnacle Souveran Paste wax is one of the best paste waxes out there period. If you do not want the paste then the next best thing is their liquid wax. I have them both, used them both and they are awesome. Spend a little more money and go straight to the Pinnacle's. You will not be disappointed.
I know there are a plethora of other choices of waxes out there, however, you picked a good choice the 1st time.

Re: WTB: Quality Carnuba Wax
If you apply wax with a machine you'll have no problem with Collinite. I just recently started using 845 and it compares fairly well to Pinnacle Souveran. You might also look at some of the Dodo Juice offerings. I've tried Light Fantastic on my silver S4 and was pleased. It's a bit cheaper than Pinnacle. The Blackfire 'wet ice over fire' combination looks really nice. Probably similar to Pinnacle SSII, tho I haven't used either on my car.
If you don't want to pony up for Souveran, SSII is about half the price and is generally preferred for metallic silver cars because of the hybrid sealant properties in it. It does a better job of bringing out the flakes. But personally, I don't think any wax gives the depth of Souveran so that's my top choice. Making the flakes pop is secondary for me.

Re: WTB: Quality Carnuba Wax
I am a Colliholic. I've used Collinite for over 35 years and nothing beads like their waxes or lasts longer in my opinion. I have tried many over the years but always come back. I did recenly get some Pinnacle XMT 180 in the BOGO sale and I used it on the weekend on my silver Jeep. It worked very well but I haven't seen it in the rain yet. I have Pinnacle Souveran and AutoGlym HD but the Collinite stands out from the crowd and doesn't break the bank.
