Pinnacle Crystal Mist Carnauba Detail Spray

**Eurocougar** · 06-26-2010, 02:36 AM

After reading some of the product reviews about this product I thought it would work great. Much to my dismay I was wrong. This stuff feels like you are rubbing your car with fine sandpaper. Even with the best MF towels. I've used the green 750 MF towels and it still feels like sandpaper. This product does not Wipe on/ wipe off well at all.

Overall I am displeased with this product. This stuff doesn't even smell good and I get a sick feeling in my stomach using it.

Although it leaves a decent shine, the detailing spray you can pick up at any auto parts store will do just as good without half the hassle. Not to mention it'll smell better too.

Sorry this product disappoints and needs to be looked at over again. Maybe I got something else entirely in the bottle, probably not however.

Do not buy. DP does what this product does for a much cheaper price and it smells much better doing it.

I honestly feel like I got ripped off. If I could only get my $60 back or spend it on another detailing spray. Mind you this is the first time I have ever been disappointed buying something at Autogeek.

it is hard to remove i will agree with you .. this is why i use pinnacle souveran spray wax.. very light sprays perpanel. comes off with ease...i bought the gallon of crystal mist a while back . and probably wouldnt buy it again once its out . but i still use it from time to time mostly on my wood interior trim and door jams for now..

Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer is pretty good for an OTC product

never seen a displeasing review before this one, and product has been a staple in Pinnacles products and kits for more than 10 years. It has no appreciable buffing needed, and you can feel some lubrication while using.

It should always be shaken well prior to use, as other products, and only one spritz is needed per panel. Souveran Spray needs a little more buffing, but not much, as higher use of carnauba in it. I would however use both as detail sprays versus a true quick detailer and some additional gloss should be present after use. Both are best used outside of direct sunlight.

Luckily we each are afforded an opinion, and hope the poster finds something more in tune with his needs. FK425 and Optimum are nice too, and Aquawax has a nice following too.

perhaps you got a bad batch? Maybe it was "spoiled"? Contact CS for a replacement...

First I'd open the bottle and look inside to make sure there aren't any inconsistencies as far as separation, clumping, etc.

Second, it sounds like you're using too much product. I just lightly mist a panel - I mean 1 mist across the entire panel. A little bit goes a very long way with this product and if you use too much it will not be as easy to work with.

I've never seen a bad review or had any complaints for Crystal Mist, so there has to either be something wrong with the product, or the application process. Either way, we're here to help you out and if there is something wrong with the product we will gladly exchange it for you.
