The Bentley paint falls into the extremely soft side of the paint hardness/paint softness spectrum.
I quite frankly don't think the average customer of Bentley could wash and dry this car without marring the hell out of the paint.
I have a Maserati coming in today and I'm going to do the exact same process to it as I did the Bentley. I hope the paint is harder. Here's a couple of pics, I'll post the full review in the next few days, have some work to for my upcoming Roadshow Detailing Classes that takes first priority.
This is AFTER washing...

This is after the Pinnacle Jeweling wax using the flash of my camera with the overhead lights turned off. That little line below the outline of the flash is not a scratch, it's a reflection of the top curve of the camera lens.

You guys can make up your own minds about what words mean but here's what I know from a lot of real-world, hands on experience buffing out thousands of cars over the decades... there is a
difference between abrasive technology. You can't just lump all products into the same basket and say they're all the same because they are in the same category.
I guarantee you... not all cleaner/waxes or AIOs can finish out on super soft black paint like a true jeweling wax, that is a cleaner/wax that uses great abrasive technology.

Pinnacle Advanced Finishing polish and Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 would fit that bill currently.
Re: Pinnacle Jeweling Wax
Awesome job on the Maserati Mike. I understand the points you are making, but at the end of the day some folks don't need to differentiate between a jeweling wax and a cleaner wax (KISS principle).
This would be a good poll actually.

menzerna 3800. Rupes Ultrafine , Rupes millie ultrafine which is actually water based and can be used as a coating prep.

I'd be surprised if there was a difference. Both claim to be the 'finest' polishes providing maximum clarity in their respective lineups. I would expect the abrasives in the Pinnacle Jeweling Wax to be similar unless they went out and created something brand new.
