This prepared the paint for the Black Label Coating very well. Easy to use with great results.

Left a nice clean surface

This worked fantastic to polish my car before applying Opti-Coat to it, very easy to apply and it just wipes right off, no buffer needed. Beware though, if you get it on your trim it is very difficult to get off because of the paste like consistency of it (I expect this would be an issue with any polish though). The sooner you get it off the easier it will be!

Couldn't comment in terms actual performance of the product because the pump dispenser on the bottle completely failed. Removed the cap twice but couldn't find an obstruction. Without the pump dispenser I couldn't control the application of the product and just reached for my tried and true Auto Glym product instead. Disappointing purchase.

Ordered this polish for my 2006 350z I bought recently which had some oxidation but overall paint was good, I used a Orbital and this polish and wow! I was amazed how much cleaner and smooth the clear coat looked, Great product! will order again and again.

This is the absolute best pre-wax cleaner i've ever used. Its perfect for just about anything. Paint, plastic, glass, removes that foggy haze on the inside of the windshield with ease and easy to buff off. Paint on my dark grey Challenger just pops like crazy. Polish it on the glass and it removes water spots and road build up with easy using a white polish pad. Polishes head lights and taillights to a nice clean shine ready to sealant. For prepping for glass sealant its best to do a quick IPA wipe before.

This product worked great. I didn't really want to add an extra step into my process but I have to say it was well worth it. The cleansing polish helped our white suv!! I almost skipped the paint sealant after seeing how clean it looked! Did great on my black Cadillac as well.

When it works, it seems to remove everything from your paint's surface! Literally, it's the most thorough paint cleaner I've used to date. Unfortunately, mastering the application method is nothing short of a pain in the rear. Even when using sparingly, this cleaner is extremely difficult to remove completely without premium quality microfibers and the proper application method. Distilled water does make things easier, as the product is water miscible... but it's hard to tell if that changes the product's performance in any way. Unexperienced detailers, prosumers, or those new to the product line will likely struggle to make the polish work as advertised. If not completely removed from the finish, the remaining product will likely interfere with the bonding of DSC to the paint surface. Also, machine application is difficult, as the product is easy to over-work. Removal is nearly impossible without re-applying at that point. Perhaps I was given an older batch with my order, or perhaps the pump mechanism made the bottle extremely difficult to mix completely. Although, the chemistry might be such that the product never separates in the first place... hard to tell. Either way, the product does need some work to make it worthy of the black label line.

This works great getting the paint ready for waxing, make sure the car is clean before starting like always. Regardless of what wax you use I would recommend this as your starting point for waxing.

Product did a really nice job getting the paint "squeaky" in prep for the wax. I used a Girots 2" Random Orbital machine. Product went on easy, spread thin, and was easy to remove. I liked it!

This product worked very well on my 2009 Saturn Sky. I had a lot of stubborn water spots and feared that one bottle might not be enough even for my small car. Larger jobs might need two bottles.

This product removed everything of the paint 100% of contaminants, waxes, silicone, fillers, polymers, and polishing oils. It left the surface perfect for the application of new wax. excellent product

seems to work great used on chrome wheels for prep for the diamond coating

Great product strips and preps paint glass and wheels very easy. Wait a few mins and comes off very easy

I stripped my car so I could wax it. I stripped, clay barred and used Zymols cleansing polish. Simply put, after 10 minutes of struggling with Zymol pre-wax cleaner I threw it in the trash ($25 loss). When I switched to PBL Surface Cleansing Polish, it was a 100% night and day difference. It went on real easy with my PC7424 XP (used the 5.5" Black pad). It was also real easy to wipe off UNLIKE Zymols which sucked big time!! I wanted to compare the 2 as I want to know for future reference and if anyone was curious. I know that Pinnacle Black Label is a new product from PBMG. It has no track record. Well, today 4-27-2014 I can tell you; it is one of the best cleansing polishes around....PERIOD! It smoked a quality wax company's (Zymol) product. A KNOCKOUT! I will be keeping this product as my go to pre-wax/sealant cleaner. Excellent product and please keep up the great work.

if prepping for a coating be sure to apply this product twice. After some time using this to prep paint I have come to the conclusion that you really need a second application, specifically by hand after going over the paint once. give it a try, you will notice that the paint feels a little slick after the first wipeoff. if thats the case, the second application , wipe on wipe off, will give you that squeaky clean surface. also use a LOT of towels for wipe off.

Just finished my 2013 Black CL using this product for the first time. I used an orbital polisher to apply and it went on beautifully and came off easily. Had a few small scratches and they disappeared with a little specific effort. It is expensive, but I think it could be close to foolproof.

Man, I admit I was worried after buying and reading the earlier review. However, product arrived and I couldn't be happier I've ordered this to prep. for BL surface coating. This is the highest quality product you can imagine. Thick, a little goes a long way. Perfect working time. I can't say enough, just read the product description: It does EXACTLY what it says. Although it states to be a non abrasive product, this product not only cleaned but removed light swirls, finishing even better than M205, both on white CCS pad. You can feel how gently it goes on the paint, however it's extremely efficient. Next time I will try to go directly from compounding to this polish, then coating. I know there are a lot of ways to prep paint for a coat, but I hardly believe anything would make BL Surface Coating spreads so perfectly - Synergistic, it's also stated at product, you can feel during application. Final result after this prep. and coating application: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Cons: Price/Size. This product is very good for BL coating prep, but price is prohibitive for such small quantity, I've only ordered it because of deal and sale discount. Please, increase bottle size / reduce price a little: this will be a best seller. Exceeds every and any expectative.

The product was very difficult to remove after application. Needed to use multiple microfiber towels to remove reside.
