What is it?
This is an AIO or all-in-one product for restoring neglected paint that uses super high quality abrasive technology for the correction work while leaving behind Carnauba wax protection.
What does it do?
Removes swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation while jeweling the paint to a super high liquid wet gloss finish that's protected with Carnauba wax.
When do I use it?
Anytime you want to restore a show car finish to neglected paint in one step or as a maintenance polish/wax for paint in excellent condition.
Why should I use it?
To give your car that a finish that looks dripping wet, like it just popped out of the paint booth with a brand new custom show car paint job.

Here's how the 1957 Chevy 31000 looked when it first arrived - not bad under normal florescent lights?

Here's how she really looks using the Speed Master Swirl Finder Light to light-up and reveal the true condition of the paint.

Not Swirls but Holograms
These are not the normal type of swirls instilled by tatty wash mitts and towels wiping the paint over time, the wispy 3 dimensional lines you see are the tale-tale signs of HOLOGRAMS. This means at some point in time, this truck was buffed out with a rotary buffer and probably a lambswool buffing pad.

Test Spot
The goal was to remove the holograms and restore a true swirl-free, show car finish in ONE STEP.
To do this I will test the Pinnacle Jeweling Wax with the RUPES Yellow CP pad on a FLEX Supa BEAST.

The FLEX Supa BEAST
8 RUPES Yellow CP Foam Polishing Pads

FLEX PiXiE or PXE80 Micro Polisher
1 Buff & Shine 3" White Foam Finishing Pad - 2-pack
1 Pinnacle Yellow Foam Applicator Pad - this was for working by hand for the intricate and tight areas
And of course, the jeweling wax...

Also available by the gallon and when you buy in bulk you over 50% versus purchasing 16 ounce bottles.

If you look carefully,
The bottle of Jeweling Wax is out-of-focus because the amazing gloss, shine and liquid wet dripping results are IN FOCUS!

Autogeek Cover-Up Towels
This truck has a beautiful oak wood bed in it and to avoid walking on the wood and potentially scuffing it or scratching it I laid down 4 Autogeek Cover-Up Towels. I show these in a lot of my car detailing projects because they come in so handy to protect and cover things up. You could use paper or plastic in some cases but these are SOFT microfiber so they won't scratch and their ECO-FRIENDLY because you can wash and dry them and use them over and over again. Get you some.

Zero Pad Stalling when buffing on EDGE
One reason I like the 8mm gear-driven FLEX Supa BEAST is because it's gear-driven there is ZERO pad stalling. This enables me to go up on edge to buff into the indented areas for the CHEVROLET letters stamped into the tailgate.
http://www.autogeekonline.net/galler...Pickup_011.JPG
Both sides of the tail gate also had swirl, scuffs and scratches...

This truck spent most of it's life, actually all of it's working life as a Farm Truck. It was restored and still has the original engine, automatic transmission and running gear.

The original engine was dressed up and the truck has a brand new modern coil spring front suspension giving it a smooth handling ride.

This is the factory stock interior, steering wheel and gauges. Aftermarket air-conditioning has been added to keep you cool on hot days.

Now that the paint has undergone an thorough paint correction the finish is as nice as the truck.

Final comments....
I've used this product on a number of cars now and it never fails to delivers the results you see above. It cuts exceptional well. Polishes any type of paint to a super high gloss. The abrasive technology is Top Shelf - there simply is never any micro-marring issues with this product even on soft paint. The gloss it leaves behind is insane.
Here are some other examples of cars I've detailed using the Pinnacle Jeweling Wax

Original Paint Restoration - 1970 Bronze Metallic Corvette - Pinnacle Jeweling Wax- Porter Cable
This is an all-original 1970 Corvette with the factory original single stage Corvette Bronze Metallic paint.

KISS = Keep it Simple Simon
The paint is in remarkably good condition considering the age but there is some room for increased gloss, clarity and shine by using a SAFE one-step cleaner/wax with some very soft foam finishing pads on a simple 8mm free spinning random orbital polisher.

It's an incredibly nice build, nice driver too. I buzzed it around the building a couple times when moving it's position in the garage for photos and steering, brakes, shifting, ride, everything is simply nice. I think it's going up for sale for around $75,000.00 - I could be off but I think that's what the owner told me.

The color really works for this truck and it's easy on the eyes. I can't beleive I didn't get a picture of the oak wood bed after I finished buffing out the inside of the bed and then removing the cover-up towels. If I see the truck again I'll get the picture and share it.
The owner does frequent local car shows so I'm sure I'll see it again.
Thanks for commenting.
