    Pinnacle Jeweling Wax

    PBMG.... I don't know.... but $45 for 16 oz. of a cleaner wax .... man this stuff better do things wax beyond competing products to justify over $2.81 per oz.

    Personally, I think you are losing an edge with this type of price point...

    It does seem high but when you consider a 16 oz. bottle of Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover and Finishing Polish are $50 this isn't out of line with their other products.

    On another note, I bought a bottle of BF AIO on sale. I tested it on my daughters car, three weeks later it didn't bead at all when it was raining, I had put PA White Alabaster Srpay Wax on my Rogue at the same time, it beaded big time during the same rain storm. 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.

    Re: Pinnacle Jeweling Wax

    HD Speed and PA referenced. Boom, custmsprty post.
    All joking aside, I'm kind of surprised by that. Since you live in Florida, if products don't last for you, I don't even bother looking at it seeing as I'm in Canada.

    For the OP:
    You gotta remember what each brand is geared towards. Pinnacle is geared towards the car show crowd, boutique products at boutique prices. HD Speed is probably one of the best production AIOs. It works well, and it does the job.

    And there is another product *not* on my shelf. Hmmmm.... I can understand premium, but I cannot see it here when you got Menzerna, 3D, etc...

    Must be a market there. Consider PA Final Polish is $33 for 7 oz. and the Pinnacle polishes look like a good deal all of a sudden.

    But as it pertains to AIOs specifically, I've just never seen the point outside of a production environment. None of them have good durability and everyone is always putting a LSP on top of them anyway because of that.

    Re: Pinnacle Jeweling Wax

    Well outside of a production environment, some people use AIOs as a quick clean up of the paint when it's in decent condition, and it protects. Then they just keep it up with a spray wax when they wash so it doesn't really matter. It's great for someone with a big vehicle but isn't necesarily going to spend 12 hours doing a 3 step correction and then sealing/coating it when an AIO and spray wax is good enough.

    I agree it's expensive I even made the same comment when I first saw it BUT if you look at polish angel they charge that kind of money for 2-3 oz of some of their liquid waxes. They charge way more then that for the paste. They got one that's over 2 grand on this site. 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.
