Souveran Review

Autopia Detailing Product Reviews: "Like every single person that has tried Souveran in the past, I was skeptical at first. I purchased the wax on a whim seeing a huge price cut on a sale, and got around to giving it a shot.

As far as the packaging goes, it's great. Comes in a golden-colored bag which is really unnecessary, but the jar itself is very solid, the cap screws on tightly, the wax is easy to get on an applicator, no problems whatsoever. Better than P21S/S100's jar which is thinner and has a lower quality lid.

Most likely the easiest to use carnauba paste wax out there. Wiping on and off takes no effort with a foam applicator and a decent microfiber towel. No drying time required. Very similar to P21S/S100, but slightly easier to buff off.

The smell is very nice, but almost overpowering. I'd prefer to have it toned down a notch or two.

The look is what everybody is always skeptical about, and are always amazed by afterwards. Nothing I've tried so far is really like it on my flat black car. The depth and wetness are the two things you'll notice off the bat. It darkens, and reflections are present, but not as sharp and clear as P21S/S100, more warped, like a funhouse mirror effect. Your paint won't feel super slick as it would if you were using a product like FMJ or UPP, but it'll be very smooth. Like comparing the surface of ice to that of butter.

Durability's the one con to this product. It just doesn't last all that long (most should expect about three weeks to a month.) However, given the quality and the look of it, I (and most others) are fine with that. Given the ease of use, application of another coat doesn't take long at all.

Before trying it, I was convinced this product couldn't be worth the money over a $30 jar or P21S or a $15 jar of S100. After giving it a fair shot, anybody who says they can't notice the difference between those and Souveran on a dark color aren't looking hard enough.

It's not a product to be used all the time, but it's the one to reach for when you're looking to impress at car shows, family gatherings, track days, and the like."
