PR: Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion

[sullysdetailing]

Late Friday night I was working on my truck getting it ready for a car show the next morning. I did not have time to make the truck 100% swirl free, Since the truck is a metallic red getting rid of most of them would make it look swirl free. I was using M205 with Hydro Polishing pad then going behind it with WG Finishing Glaze. I had about half of the truck done and it was already 1am Saturday. At this rate I would of have finished at 5am.

So I decided to try something new. I pulled out the Porter Cable and Flat White LC pad and Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion. It says on the bottle to work till it becomes tacky. I worked it in the paint till it was almost clear. I was using the DA at speed setting 5.

I have to say it cleaned the paint really nice. I washed and clayed the car before hand with WG Clay and the pad still turned a little Grey. The swirls I had were not that bad at all since I polished the truck about 8 months ago. But the amount of filling it did almost looked like the sections I went over with the m205. Don't get me wrong the swirls were still there but it made them about 70% less noticeable. It also left a perfect surface for me to apply WGPS.

I will try to get pictures up when the sun decides to come out.

All in all this is a great product.

Adam I now see why you use this before the shows you go to. This stuff is great.

How do you compare this product to the Wolfgang paint polish enhancer?

I will let you know by this week. I will be tring this product within the week. I have to work on a black G35 to get it ready for a show this Saturday

This is a "must have" product, especially for those that dont polish. P21S GEPC is a close second.

Yes, I polish my truckk once a year. I use the ruck everyday for work both detailing and construction. This is great for when I enter in shows or go to meets because it really makes the swirls disappear.

Is this product suitable to use under a sealant or will it decrease the durability of the sealant or would WG paint cleaner be better for sealant.

[CharlesW]

Interesting.
This is a product you don't hear that much about anymore, but 6 or 8 years ago, it was really quite popular. PPCL and Blitz Carnauba Wax.
Sounds like it might still be worth talking about.

The Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion cleans the paint to get it ready for you LSP. So yes it is perfectly safe to use before WGPS.
