I've been trying different premium car waxes, and the Pinnacle Souveran is one of the better that I've found in this price range.
To be honest, my cars are still almost new, and so just about any wax puts a wonderful shine on them. Indeed, at the moment, I have part of my car waxed with the Souveran and part with a few other waxes, and I really can't tell any difference in terms of how the finish looks. Part of me believes that if you do your prep work properly - thorough washing, clay and/or polish, then wax...well, any good quality wax is going to give you a wonderful finish. To me then, the differences between the $20 wax and the $100 wax come down to things like speed and ease of application, plus longevity of the shine.
I found the Souveran to be among the fastest and easiest waxes I've ever used in terms of application. Using the provided foam applicator, it goes on easily - and a very small amount goes a long way. As a few other reviewers comment, it even smells wonderful...sort of a sweet and nutty aroma. It goes on almost clear, and unlike some waxes, if you get it on your black trim, it doesn't leave chalky white marks and is easy to clean off. Working by hand, it also buffs off quite easily and uniformly, leaving no trace of unevenness or swirl marks of any sort. Just a nice thin layer of protection.
It took me well under an hour to wax and buff the entire car, and it seems to me that the resulting finish is at least as good as I've obtained with any other wax. No claims of "three dimensional" or "wet" from me...but it is what I'd call a nice, "honest" shine that brings out the best while looking very smooth and uniform, even on dark finishes. I use it on Audi black paint (which I always find difficult to get an extremely smooth and streak-free shine), and it really looks terrific.
As for longevity, I always suspect a lot depends on how you treat your car in terms of washing.
One of my cars is totally pampered...lives in the garage, never gets driven in the rain, always washed by hand using high quality and gentle shampoos. I waxed this car with Souveran about three months ago, and it still seems to be about the same as when I first waxed it, especially in terms of how it beads water.
One of my other cars isn't quite so lucky...it lives in the garage, but it's driven through all sorts of weather and usually gets taken to the car wash rather than washed by hand. The harsh detergents mean this car looks like it could use another waxing after more like a month. Thus the claims of 1-3 months are probably reasonable, and what you get probably depends on how you treat your car.
So is it worth nearly a hundred bucks? To me, yes.
For one thing, I like the overall look of the finished car...if it didn't have that, I don't care what the price might be. I like that it goes on quickly, meaning I can get a great shine in about half the time as some other waxes. Then there's the fact that a little goes a long way...my best guess is that I'll probably get maybe 20-25 waxes out of a single jar. At four or five dollars a wax, this doesn't feel like a high price.
But this isn't to say that there aren't also plenty of other terrific waxes out there in this same price range. Still, if you're looking for a terrific wax, Pinnacle Souveran deserves an audition.

The prime ingredient in Pinnacle Souverän Wax is Brazilian Ivory Carnauba. Carnauba wax is world-renown for its crystal clarity, its protective properties and its uncanny shimmer. The wax is produced by a specific tree that grows in the hot, wet valleys of Northern Brazil. The leaves secrete the wax in order to protect themselves from the tropical sun and to shed rainwater, which falls to the tree's roots. Carnauba wax has the distinction of being the hardest natural wax and it has the highest melting point of any natural wax.

Easy to put on, Easy to wipe of.
The price of this Wax is expensive $95.00 but it is very well worth it. My truck has never looked so good.

Holy smokes. After reading about this over the years, I never actually pulled the trigger. Until now. I've tried most of the popular stuff, Meguiar's Ultimate Wax, FK1000P, P21S, etc. etc.
I felt like, maybe it was a marketing ploy? Maybe it's all hype? It can't be THAT much better than the other stuff right?
Boy was I wrong.
After clay and M205, I decided to try this stuff out.
Wow, goes on EASY. It really does feel like I'm spreading some type of butter on top of the car. And a little goes a long way! Then the removal was almost even easier.
Can't really comment on durability, but like a lot of people said it's really so easy you can re-apply every 2-3 months or so without even really breaking a sweat. And supposedly it's "designed" for black and red cars. But honestly, if you think about it. The clarity and deepness that it's supposed to add to those colors, it in theory works the same for any color. All it does is allow the paint under the clear coat to come through your eyes, while at an angle reflecting light for that glossy look.
Seriously good stuff!
