Specifically, the TC-2 Liquid Carnauba Wax. Our newest variance of this version is known as "black pudding". With its super thick creamy consistency, it is best applied with a PC style machine equipped with a black or blue foam buffing pad.

Or for those who like to do hand application, there is our paste wax style. TC-PWAX applied with a 4" red round foam applicator.

For OTC, go with Meguiar's #26. Its the only reason I will step into an Autozone. Here's some pics:

On solid black megs 26 or the Tropicare would be great choices. On dark mettalics I'd go with a pure sealant for best pop. Funny, that black TA with Pinnacle has the same reflectivity as Zaino on my NBM TA.

I have been doing detailing for over 10 years and have a garage FULL of stuff. I have yet to try tropi care but will be ordering some stuff VERY soon.

Zanio does NOT look as good as pinnacle and does not last as long. This is coming first hand from someone who has tried about 200 different waxes.

I loved Pinnacle Souveran on my black paint.


Although I love Victoria's Concours Red even more.
So that is what I bought.

I had good results using Meguiars NXT Generation Tech wax and toping it with a coat of P21S Carnuba wax.
