Well since I did not succesfully upload any of my pics I figured I might as well share what I have found regarding the 4 Carnuba waxes I have used.



Zymol Volvo

Got this stuff years ago for Xmas. It does give the paint some depth but its about the same as P21S only 30 bucks more and a bit harder to remove and a PITA for smearing. Ive never had as many problems with a carnuba as I did with zymol. That was a try it once product for sure.



P21S

On my Dark Green non metallic volvo P21S tied zymol for the least ammount of depth and shine but was easiest to remove.



Natty's

You cannot go wrong with Natty's. For 15 bucks it leaves behind a great shine, more pop than depth, but still a teeeny bit more depth than P21S. I used nattys on my fathers silver Tocoma and it really made it shine nicely.All in all natty's is a great all around carnuba but nattys was a bit harder to remove, still easy though and of course smells great.



Now for Souveran

Just got it today but I have already found that it has way more depth than Natty's. In fact I put a layer on over a coat of Nattys that was a week old and I could see a plain visible increase in depth of color as I had applied it to half of my hood for comparison. As for POP it seems to have toned down the nattys "bling" but only slightly. This stuff almost too good to be true and its worth every penny as it seems it will last a good long while.
 
I have to agree. Souveran is just amazing on dark vehicles. It does have more depth and wetter than p21s IMO. I have 2 coats of souveran on my black paint right now and all I can say is wow. The depth and richness that it produce is just unbelievable. I am trying to get my hands on the victoria red wax and see how it compares with souveran.
 
SOUVERN is in a league of its own.As for durability not longer then 6 weeks and Ive been using it for 5 years.Never found it to be longer for a car that is outdoors 24/7

On dark colors yes, but it does better than Souveran on lighter colors and IMHO slightly better than Paste Glaz although that is fine as well.



I just wish the Souveran was less than $50. $70 MSRP ($60 street) is definitely luxury priced.



I am finding the Pinnacle line to be very good across the board. I also use the shampoo (again too pricey), the PCL, and the spritz. And now I have to buy the swirl removers?



I'm curious how others are finding the swirl removers, I missed out on the Autogeek samples...
 
Top of the Line's Trade Secert - that stuff is da bomb - I would say = to Souveran (and the more you apply the deeper and wetter darker colors look!)
 
one of my favorite combos for my truck is Ex-P + Souveran although I'm in the market for something a little cheaper for my carnauba topper.
 
Tried Souveran for the first time yesterday. I was pleased, but unlike many of you, I have difficulty really being confident that this product is better than that product, etc. I also seem to get the feeling "Well, this is about as good as it could look" on whatever latest product I try. I guess I have been experimenting on some prettty good products.
