Default Pinnacle Souveran Paste

Hello everyone - have owned my 2013 GT for just over one week.
Still debating on what to use for it's first wax.
My 2006 that I traded had 3 coats of Liquid Glass, which made it look awesome, but would also stain the black trim.
Anyone out there use Pinnacle? Is it worth the price?
My 2013 just looks like it is going to be difficult to do, especially around the hood vents, etc.
I have also read good things about Meguiars NXT, which seems to be a clear polish which would alleviate the risk of stains on the trim.

I use it and it's awesome! To me it's worth it since I have a black car. I also use Adams detail spray which is amazing.

I forgot to mention it goes on smooth as butter and wipes off really easy.

I also just received a new shipment of this. I decided to get the Sizzling Shine Kit which includes the wax, detail spray, cleansing lotion and some pads/towels. This was $139. I figured if I was spending $89 for the wax I might as well get the rest of the essentials.

I'll see how good the detail spray is compared to the Adams.

Great order! Be sure to post pictures of your car once it receives the Pinnacle treatment.

Nice car! Simply put, you will not find another wax that provides a deeper, wetter shine than Souveran. And you will also not find another wax that's easier to use than Souveran.

Wipe on, wipe off, and you're finished. No drying time, and it won't stain black trim. One 8 oz. jar will easily wax your Mustang 30 times.

Ok - here are some iPhone pics. They don't really capture the incredible shine, but it's all I can do for now. I really need to get a good camera. She's a daily driver with 40k on the odometer and I waxed her 3 weeks ago.

Nice car!
My very first Mustang (1996 v6) - was also black.
Drove that car for 8 years and 130,000 miles without any major issues.
