    Quick question for anyone that might know. I layered Pinnacle Souveran wax on top of my Klasse twins the last time I detailed my car. This time since I have a brand new bottle of Megs Gold Class Paste wax just sitting I figured I might as well use it up instead of wasting Souveran everytime...

    After doing an exhaustive search, I haven't found anything helpful figuring the best polish out, most gloss, wet look, durability, just mostly random product vs. product stuff.
