Default Klasse-Pinnacle

I just purchased one of pinnacle's kits which includes the souveran wax and paint cleansing lotion. I have been told that I would get better results using Klasse all-in-one rather than Pinnacle cleansing lotion prior to applying the Pinnacle Gold wax. Has anyone tried this combination?

Default Klasse is a synthetic vs. the Pinnacle which is a natural carnauba...

The classic arguement is that synthetics provide more longevity, but at the expense of ultimate shine. Carnauba's don't last as long, but provide amazing depth of shine.

Klasse has started recommending adding a layer of carnauba after their products have been applied to improve the depth of shine in the final product.

That's the theory...in practice, you may feel otherwise. My suggestion...you've already forked out a large sum of money for the Pinnacle wax. use it and see how you like it. Remember, 90% of the results are in the paint preparation, and not the wax. Make sure you get the paint really clean before applying the wax. The paint cleansing lotion should help you with that...follow the directions.

Default Klasse is not really that great of a cleaner, like RKA said you have some great stuff, just make ..

sure your paint is really clean before you use anything.

Default Have used both the full Pinnacle Souveran Kit and the Klasse/Pinnacle Souveran combo.....don't

think you need to go out and get the Klasse, but the shine is phenomenal and so very easy. Here's a pic of my TT after Klasse. Also a link to the method. You can find the Klasse, etc. more cheaply than at Proper Auto Care...just included this for their technique.
