    First time with SSII!

    I have always had a passion for detailing vehicles. Strictly as a hobby and never too involved, but I love it. I truly believe in taking care of the most expensive thing I own I know these trucks are made to get dirty and the dirtier the better, but I like mine pristine in between!

    I tend to keep all of my vehicles for a very long time and every time I've sold one, the new owners said they looked brand new inside and out. Great for added resale value!!

    So, to my topic. I have been a big fan of Zaino for over 10 years. They have some great products that protect well and have decent durability. But with the purchase of my 4Runner I wanted to see what else is out there; is there a better wax? Easier to apply and remove?

    I decided to buy the Pinnacle Signature Series II wax and give it a shot. I never used a WOWO wax before, so I was intrigued! Chose SSII after reading the reviews and recommendations in regards to lighter metallic paints.

    This stuff is ridiculously easy to apply. It breaks down on the first swipe across the paint and feels like it turns to butter. Spreads quickly and easily. Used my Cobra microfiber towels and immediately went to buffing that section. Holy crap...it comes off easier than it went on. I couldn't believe it..

    I waxed the entire vehicle; roof, windows, head lamps/tail lamps. I didn't want to stop

    We will have to see what kind of durability I get out of it. As of now I couldn't be happier with the results. Well worth the extra money. It also applies so thin, that this jar will no doubt last me 25+ waxes as the label states, probably more.

    Here are some pics of the results. They definitely don't do actual results justice. The SSII really brought out the metallic flake!

    I tried zaino one time, and immediately went back to Sig series ll. So much easier to work with and makes my metallic paint look great!

    Driving home last night was an experience itself, I don't usually notice the lights moving across the hood. But it was like watching a billboard up there

    to autogeek! Your 4Runner looks great. I had a 2003 black 4Runner before I traded it in for TSX. I wished I had the tools and knowledge I had back then when I had the 4runner. It had so many swirls, I would of liked to detail it before letting it go.
