+1 on the pinnacle souveran. The paste wax..not the liquid. Best overall depth for dark colored cars. P21S is a close second IMO.

I'm a big fan of the Wolfgang sealants. Beat waxes hands down in durability and shines like no other.

One of my favorite how-to sites:

Good site to get materials:

Rejex is awesome on wheels - brake dust comes right off with a hose.

Call Moe from Glisteningperfection.com

He is the man.. He won Pebble.. So he is your best bet for the right info.

Keep in mind its hard to keep a daily driven car looking like a show car. There is just to much crap in the air........

I found the exact opposite in a side by side comparison. The P21 was brighter and wetter than the souvereign (which I love). It's also MUCH less expensive.

P21S over Klasse SG and AIO is absolutely incredible and lasts for months.

I have been using Blitz One Grand with great success lately as well--super easy to apply with great results. I found it to be similar to the P21S.

I've used them all, and I my current routine is:
-Zaino shampoo
-Zaino clay and lube
-Optimum polishes
-Menzerna Glaze
-Menzeran FMJ (full molecular jacket)
-Zaino Z8 spray

The Menzerna line is great. VERY wet on black. Lasts a long time, and to me, has the depth of a Carnauba like P21S or Pinnacle Souveran.

never drive it, and put a car cover on it in the garage, that's the best shine
