Pinnacle Souverän Carnauba Paste Wax

Anyone tried this stuff? Is it worth the 70.00 price tag?

Thanks for any info.

$70.00?!
NO wax is worth $70.00. Unless it applies itself.

They offer free refils for life in one of my mags if you buy it. That make up for the price right...lol

Who the hell would pay $1600 for some wax, even if it is refillable for life? I'd buy it and open a detail shop. We'll see just how refillable it is then.

Not so sure about the zymöl application method...


Put a very small amount of the glaze to the palm of your hand. Use the warmth of your hands to melt the Carnauba. With your hand, gently apply the glaze in a light, even pattern over no more than two or three square feet of painted surface.
Let Vintage stand for up to five minutes
Using moderate to heavy pressure, wipe very slowly with a flat towel (folded once) to a brilliant luster before wax is totally dry.

Haven't tried Pinnacle but, I've heard good things about it. Most, however, seem to concur that there are products that are just as good without the price tag.

In my experience/opinion, carnuba just doesn't last as long as synthetic products.

oops .. I never answered the original question ..

I have used the pinnacle once (had a Viper owner that requested I use it on his car).. it is a nice wax, and did a real nice job, .. but as RP said, there are others that seem to be just as good, and most can be had for no more than 1/4 of the cost of the pinnacle ..
