I'm getting long in the tooth and have bad shoulders, so I have trouble hand washing the car (leased 2017 C-300 coupe). However, I still would like to wash sort-of by hand and was thinking that maybe something that attaches to my garden hose would at least do as good a job as the commercial...
My new car has been detailed with Blackfire Wet Diamond and Blackfire Crystal Seal. About a week after washing (BF products had been on the car for 3-4 months and haven't been reapplied,) I got caught in a little rain drizzle and figured it would be a good time to use Meguiar's LDS (in garage...
My mistake. You are right, I should have written Crystal Seal...Sorry for the confusion. BTW, I'd like to edit my Post #14 to read "Crystal Seal," but don't see where the Edit is?
EDIT: OK, I think I see the problem with editing. It appears that on this forum there is a cut off time for...
LT looks like a product I'd like to use, but I do have a question about how to properly use it. OK, let's say I've been using LT for a couple of months and now I would like to do some Blackfire Clear Crystal. Will I have to do anything special like wash the car with Dawn or wipe it down with...
Wow, guys, a ton of good suggestions. However, I think I didn't make my request as clear as I could when I used the word "appropriate." "Appropriate" needs a little more definition...I think. I would be using the QD after washing the car and I want to use a QD that won't interfere with the...
I don't use any wax on my cars...just me. I do use paint sealants/polishers, though. As I'm getting older and lazier, I'd like to use a good "quick detailer" every now and then. I'm presently using Blackfire Wet Diamond and Crystal Seal. Please suggest an appropriate QD to use during my lazy...
Hey Bob, in all honesty, if I were to apply a some furniture polish to bring in a little lustre, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that the dealership would never know the difference. Haven't done it yet, but will... And, of course, I would first test in an inconspicuous area.
Yeah, that's the way it turned out for me...The grainy wood is beautiful, but just needs a little more "finishing." But it appears that it won't be a big deal as either some furniture wax or maybe even some like Blackfire Crystal Clear will bring out a little lustre.
Found this reply to a similar question on a Genesis forum:
"I also did not like the matte wood finish in my black 2015 Genesis. I used "MINWAX" paste finishing wax. Apply thin coats with a clean damp rag. This hand buffs up to a very nice semi gloss finish and brings out the grain of the wood...
OK, just got a 2017 MB C300 coupe with natural open pore natural grain brown ash wood to go with the saddle brown interior. To my eye, I'm finding the wood trim to be a bit dull...but I do understand that it may already have been "satinized." Not that I want to make it glossy, but a...
I'm a Zaino user moving on to Blackfire. After claying my car, I applied WD and then CS. Came out beautifully, and was somewhat easier to apply than the ZAIO and Z-Clear Seal. But here's my problem: It's about 3-4 months later, and although the finish is great after washing, I got the bug...
Yeah, I'm in SoFL and the Safelite install was with a genuine BMW windshield, all covered by Allstate. Actually, two other windshield were first installed, but they were removed because the first one (not BMW) screwed up the rain sensor and the second one (not BMW) had a pin hole that allowed...
Canceled the Safelite visit. Although I had scrubbed and washed the windshield very vigorously with various materials, those dark lines were still there when water was sprayed on. So I said what the hell and gave the windshield two coats of Rain-X. And just the day of the visit to be, i...
