Well I picked up some Pinnacle Sig Series II wax recently and I couldn't wait to try it. It was time to give my black metallic Ram a little polish and wax job so that was my test subject.
I started of course with a 2BM wash with Dawn and Mother's California wash. Then after a quick claying with Griot's clay I went to Duragloss 501 on a white 5.5" LC pad with my PC. This was my first time using this stuff as well and WOW it is great. After buffing off the DG501 it left a slick smooth protection that, to me, rivaled BFWD's slickness.
After an hour or so of curing the 501 I applied two coats of the SSII spaced about an hour apart. Of course being a WOWO it's so easy to use. It's got a nice pineapple smell that made using it pleasant. I split the big truck up into three sections and applied to each section and buffed off before moving on. I noticed a nice difference compared the 501 alone. The SSII enhanced the metallics with my LED light and of course in direct sunlight just like I expected it to from other reviews.
Overall I really like this wax and will be my go to on the Ram for the time being. I like my Souveran or Fuzion more for my TA since it's a non-metallic black. The SSII is a great value considering the 25-30 applications you should be able to get out of an 8 oz tub.
Not great pics since I was inside a warehouse but they'll do.

Some swirls are still there, the 501 is definitely more of a chemical cleaner AIO than a true polish, I'm gonna mix this with a DG polish or maybe D151 next time.
