Ok....this explains a lot. As far as final result... i still need that 30min curing time feeling, makes me feel the wax is bonding properly. Just an ol habit i guess. But unlike some waxes that PITA to remove when you leave it too long, I i don't see anything wrong with leaving souveran for couple minutes/hours, since removal is still a breeze and It seems longer cure period gives the paint a deeper and wetter result

Not at all, in fact I've done and do both.

95% of all my waxes are applied using my Porter Cable 7424 polisher. This really allows me to concentrate on laying down the right amount of product ensuring complete and even coverage. This also saves on wasting some very expensive wax!

Applying waxes with a dual action polisher also allow me to work the product into the paint and once I'm through the only haze that's left is easily wiped off with a soft Microfiber towel.

I generally do two panels at a time leaving one to haze for at least 30 minutes prior to buffing....Never a problem...

Panel by panel. Wipe on, wipe off.

Liquid Souveran yes .... paste no. You should apply and buff off panel by panel with the paste version for best results.

liquid as a topper over sealer

Tom, how did I figure you would respond to this instantly?

As for the OP.. Tom is the guy to listen too.. I don't think their is a Pinnacle product he hasn't used and tested.

Oh really...should try that next time i apply souveran. I have to agree, just did 2 layer of paste souveran and it looks fantastic: dripping wet. The liquid version ain't so bad either

Thanks guys...this really helps
