Which Pinnacle to use?

Here's my car - It's a Mazdaspeed Protege, and the paint is Spicy Orange Mica. Basically it's orange, with metal flake and pearl. Ranges from golden to dark orange. I am still new to detailing, but have an insatiable itch to get Pinnacle, either Souveran or Series II. I've read that nothing beats Souveran for dark cars, but would you consider my color dark? Also, I've read that Series II is better for metal flake paint, which I have.



Price isn't a factor, I just want to know which would make my paint look the best. Will wash it, it doesn't need to be clayed, I am awaiting the Sonus swirlbuster pad and polish, and am soliciting opinions on what to cover that with. Might hit it with SSR2.0 and an orange pad before the Swirlbuster, so that there's less being filled by the acrylic.



Oh yeah, would it make any sense to use RMG after the Swirlbuster polish but before the Pinnacle, just to add depth?



Thanks for helping a newb who wants to try every product availble!

On metallic paints, I'd say go with the Signature and save some money. You'd be hard pressed to see the difference with Souveran. I've used both and it looks very similar.
 
Signature DOESmake the metallic pop a bit more.



I've used it on my Redfire Cobra a few times and can tell a bit of differnence between the two. Souveran is a bit wetter/deeper than the Signature.



For the money and on your color, I'd use the Signature for sure.
 
AHA! so Series II is the winner in this round.



Now, I've managed to get my greedy little hands onto a tin of Soft99 Authentic Premium. Would you recommend that over the the Series II (not physically over, as in layering, but recommend it more highly)?
