Pinnacle Souveran v Signature

Due to the recent Autopia Sale I had already topped up my Souveran supply and then was able to grab a can of the Signature while it was on sale to. Thanks to a fellow UK Autopian on here grabbing me a can. Cheers Shaun. (182 Blue)



Part off my thinking was that the Signatures formulation for metallics may just give the gold flacke i my black paint a little more pop. I was also curious to how close it looks to the Souveran.



Test bed was a metallic black paint which is well polished and currently had 3 layers off Wolfgang and a few week old application of Carnuba Moose Wax. So maybe this is not the best test off the two products but I wasnt at a stage I wanted to repolish and get a base just to test these to.



Going around the car I did most panels 50/50 split, this was done on the hood, roof, rear tailgate, one rear quater, one front panel and one door.



As much as it pains me to say this I really struggled to see a difference between the waxes. Earlier in the year even with a camera I could see the difference Souveran made when applied over Wolfgang. As hard as I loooked from close up and various distances standing back panels looked identical. The souveran sides may have a *slight* and I really mean a slightly wetter look, but hardly noticeable.



I am not sure if the difference's would have been more apparent directly over a sealant or glaze, because as it has been discussed on here before that CMW is very close in apperance to Souveran.



Wondered if anyone else had done a side by side with these pair?



Also thought this maybe off help to those who have Signature and maybe are thinking off stepping up. IMO the differnce is minimal.



On a side note has any one used the Sonus Carnuba Spritz, just got my first bottle - as soon as I smelt it I could tell it was close to EF Clear Pearl. Use and results as well as the smell etc, this is one instance of a very Similar product, not sure if this has been discussed before but I couldnt tell any difference?
 
Thanks for the info on the Pinnacle waxes. I've been a Souveran addict for a long time & it looks like I'll be picking up some Paste Glaz, as well. As for the Sonus Carnauba Spritz........It's mainly one of my 2 "go to" QD's when I'm using a carnauba. I use the Sonus Carnauba Spritz & the Pinnacle Crystal Mist. In fact, a short time ago I combined the 2 just for the heck of it. The "Crystal Spritz" mixture works terrific. ( lol )
 
I have been trying Signature versus Souveran for a while on my Millenium Silver paint. While I wanted to like to the Signature for the cost savings, I really find the Souveran brings out the flake more, is wetter, and more clear.



Perhaps the color of paint plays a role here...
 
I think Souveran is superior than Signature in every sense. Signature indeed looks nice but Souveran, IMO, is clearer, wetter, and slicker than Signature.



I find Sonus Carnauba Spritz to be pretty comparable to Crystal Mist and at 1/2 the price. It has become my "go-to" QD.
