I've been using Pinnacle Souveran (PS) from new on my EB2. Had delivery of car in January 2013. The PS is easy to apply and gives a very deep shine. I wax the car about every three months. It is garaged so doesn't take much of a beating.

Very happy with this wax and will continue to use it.

I purchased the pinnacle signature series II wax. I had read that it would work better on the light shade of grey that my car is. I can't say I was overly impressed with it. I think I am going to go with the P21 wax in the future.

Yeah, I chose the p21s specifically because it works best with very dark colors (mg, black, dark blue, etc). I try to wax it once every six weeks or so, weather dependent.

I detail cars and just picked up this new wax i was always interested from detailers domain called Sonax Premium Class Carnauba wax http://www.detailersdomain.com/Sonax...-ml_p_341.html and Auto finese Illusion http://www.detailersdomain.com/Auto-...ax-_p_921.html

Both really great products even on my Mineral Grey F30. Wow what a shine and last pretty long worth a look. Also check out AMMO NYC Carnauba wax heard its really good

How is your experience with Chemical guys? i feel they have too many products and they all overlap, and it confuses me so much, don't know what to use when..

i've just got black sapphire, the painting is not perfect from the dealer, what is the best process to do and what products to shine and protect the paint.

P.S i live in hot area.
thanks

I'm pretty happy with all of the CG products I use so far. I do admit they have lots of overlap with their products. The key is to use their "star" products. So products that people talk lots about. Since you do mention living in a hotter climate I would highly recommend a durable sealant such a Jet Seal to be the "base". After that you can top it off with whatever you desire (caranuba, glazes, etc. ) That way when the less durable coating wear off you still have stuff protecting the paint.

So some of the products I have are:

Waxes: Blitz, Pete's 53, M-Seal, Jet Seal
Glazes/AIO: BlackLight
Quick Detailers: Hybrid V07,EcoSmart
Shampoos: Honey Dew Foam, Glossworkz
Polishes: v36

For your case I would prefer to see some pics. What makes it far from a perfect paint job? Some flaws are to be expected from the dealer such as orange peel, and even watermarks.
