    Blackfire Black Ice - Maintenance

    Bought it at detail fest, used it last night and it looked fantastic on my black Audi A4. Unfortunately it rained heavily on the way home from work today. Beaded really well. Question, is it OK to maintain with ONR, Optimum Instant Detailer Gloss enhancer and OCW. I think they would play nice...

    Microfiber pads-Is this normal?

    I bought a couple of LC microfiber pads and Chemical guys V8 polish to try to get rid of some marring on my relatively new Black Audi. I used a Griots orbital polisher and both pads had some microfiber fly all over the place when I started to polish. It calmed down after maybe 15 seconds. Is...

    Which pad should I use?

    I am going tp apply Collinite 915 using a Griots D/A polisher. I have a LC CCS Red pad that I planned on using. I see a lot of people using a CCS Gray finishing or CCS Blue Finessing pad to apply a wax or a sealant. I have a new Audi with Black paint. I thought since red is the softest that is...

    Synthetic wax paste to seal my wheels?

    I know you asked for a synthetic wax paste but I have to say I put opti-coat on my wheels and it works great. So easy to clean with a great shine and it's permanent. You also don't have to be an expert (which I am not) to apply because unlike paint if you apply too much you will not see...

    What did I do wrong? griots D/A

    I was using Griots 6" pad and the backing plate that came with the D/A which was made for this pad. The orbital worked fine for a few minutes so it had nothing to do with priming the pad. I will double check that everything is tight. I've used other D/A's and never had this. Just wondered if...

    What did I do wrong? griots D/A

    I started to apply menzerna powerlock on my car using my relatively new griots D/A orbital. I put no pressure on it to apply the sealant, the speed was 3. It suddenly started to jump up and down even when I started to try and stop it and apply a little pressure. Did I have too much product on...

    What do you use?

    When I do a rinseless wash with ONR or ONRW&W I have always used a micro-chenille wash mitt. It seems recently a lot of people have been using a quality microfiber towel instead. I believe even optimum has recommended a quality MF towel for ONRW&W although they do have their own opti-mitt for...

    What's your pick for New Black Audi?

    Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. I noticed a little bit of marring on the hood last night. I will try to correct a little but not push it too far. I have a griots orbital but I am by no means an expert and am a little nervous because the car is new.

    What's your pick for New Black Audi?

    Just got a new 2013 Black Audi A-4. The paint color is called Phantom Black. Seems to have more splarkles in the paint than the regular metallic black by Audi. I believe Audi paint is considered hard. I haven't felt the surface yet so I am not sure if I need to clay. Upon initial inspection I...
