Re: Pinnacle Jeweling Wax
A jeweling wax should leave a better, more refined finish then any regular AIO. The same way an ultra fine polish leaves a better finish then a regular finishing polish. It's only to be used on a car already in fantastic shape. I've used the mckees jeweling wax and it leaves an incredible flawless finish. The durability just isn't there for the winter. Might use it again in the summer
Edit: Reading the description I don't know but if a product uses the term jeweling in the title I expect it to finish down to a show car shine. Better then a production Aio. If it doesn't then I would say its a no good product. Hopefully they didn't just throw that term in there to help sell product without it actually being a more refined all in one. You never know with new owners

Both were parked outside for the same amount of time. I know it's not a fair comparison between a spray wax and aio, but it should be stronger than that after 3 weeks. As for AIO's I'll stick with Speed over BF AIO, especially for the price. :props:
Your Rogue has a PA Viking coat under the spray wax though doesn't it?

So if you believe that it's a high quality concentration of carnauba wax then it can get expensive. $65 is apparently nothing in comparison when it comes to high quality carnauba wax.
I have thousands of $$$ worth of all the AG and other top products, none of them make my Rogue look like this except the Polish Angel products.
I did this yesterday, no prep other than a wash, no polishing etc. Hand applied, simple wipe on wipe off, Gold Zirkon. When applied correctly you use very little product. I could easily get 10-15 applications out of the 500ml. bottle.

Not anymore, that was over two years ago.
Until yesterday I had been using Polish Angel White Alabaster every few months. Ron K gave me a bottle of Gold Zirkon to try, insane stuff, see the pics I just posted above.

Is White Alabaster and Gold Zirkon not the same product? Both are identical spray on fillers/glaze, one geared toward white and the other all colours. In UK the marketing material on both is identical, copy and paste. Did you find a difference between Alabaster and Zirkon?

Yeah they are both carnuba spray waxas. I don't think they last 3 months. I've heard more like 3 weeks. Great products.
My point was high quality carnuba is expensive so 65 bucks is pretty reasonable if it's actually quality carnuba and not just a mark up on cheap carnuba.

I agree I have lots of polish angel stuff. It's all quality product. Wether or not this new pinnacle product is worth 65 or not remains to be seen but I'll tell you 1 thing. How this new pinnacle product performs at this price point will tell us a lot about where this new company is headed
Re: Pinnacle Jeweling Wax
Are we still talking about the Pinnacle Jeweling Wax? If so, it's selling for $45.99. Again, it does seem high but I looked around and the Mckees jeweling wax is $39.99 for a 16 oz. bottle (although it also comes in an 8 oz. bottle). Not sure what else to compare it with. Essence is also $40 for that size bottle but most others in that broad AIO category (Speed, D166, etc.) are much much cheaper.

I applied White Alabaster 2/11/18 (pollen season) and it was still going strong when I washed my Rougue Saturday 3/25/18 which is 6 weeks. In my expereince I have easily gotten 2 + months. The ironic thing I find about durability questions on this forum is that not many of us go that long without doing something to our rides.

Exactly, plus I'm only repeating what I read autopia or somewhere. It's not like straight from the manufacturer or anything like that.
Is the white carnuba arts product the only lsp on the car?
I might use my gold zirkon tonight
