I've always used and had great luck with BF. I've tried many products and brands and always seem to come back to them.
Last weekend I washed my new (it's a CPO with 10K miles so new to me) Audi S4. I used BF shampoo and washed it by hand first. Then I used the Nanoskin blue wash mitt. It was AWESOME (though I realized afterwards I goofed and didn't prep it on glass first as the instructions said). Finally I washed the car by hand a third time and dried it.
I used my new Flex 3401 with green CCS pad to apply and try for the first time BFTPS. Went on easy, cleaned the paint that last little bit in a good way (based on what the pad looked like), and wiped off easy. Sadly, it did require buffing even though the info on the web site and bottle claim you can simply rub it in until it disappears and requires no wiping. I couldn't get that to be true in my case.
But overall the car looked good when done. But I just felt as thought it could be better. It looked very sterile and artificial.
So today I washed by hand and applied old trusty with a green CCS pad - BFGEP. I don't know if it's because I layered two polishes or if this application took off the TPS and replaced it with BFGEP, but definitely a much better shine. It's deeper looking, less sterile, and more engaging. I did not have time to do any wheel cleaning as I washed the car in the rain and simply didn't want to stay out any longer than I had to.
I also used my new Flex PE with 2" green pad for the front and rear fascia area and mirrors. LOVE this tool. I found the on/off switch hard to get used to, but and AWESOME tool none the less.
I've got a new Griot's BOSS 15 on the way with Collinite 845 and 915. I'll be applying one of them as my LSP next weekend.
What do you think?
