I agree Rsurfer. At the moment, there does not appear to be a simple solution. At least not for me. However, there in lies a unique opportunity for some LSP manufacturer with the research & development resources to bring to the market a product that truly minimizes this vexing problem! I'm not...

Because, I assume if a water spot remover is strong enough and harsh enough to remove these spots that have already eaten through the LSP, it will also remove the LSP all together. I suppose it would be better than having to lightly polish them out. I am still kinda frustrated at the process and...

To eldorado2k: It's an '07 DTS that I bought used. Its a nice car. I just don't have the time or energy to devote to perfecting and maintaining a second black car. Especially because it's my daily driver which means it will be driven in all types of weather. On the other hand, the Challenger...

So, what are some LSP's that don't bead water, but instead cause water "sheeting" thus reducing the dreaded spots?

Thank you "itsgn" for your insight on this frustrating issue. You explanation kinda makes sense to me, I get it. That being said, shouldn't LSP companies engineer their product to resist water spotting all together? That would really be something that would separate one from the "masses". I...

Thanks for the replies guys... Now I am really confused. If water "beading" is such a negative thing as far as promoting water spots, why is it that so many LSP manufacturers pride themselves on how well their product beads water? After all...beading is (apparently) bad as it promotes water...

I apologize if this has been covered previously, but I am becoming frustrated. Here's my basic question: Does wax (or any other typical LSP) contribute to the appearance of water spots? Here is why I am asking. I have 2 cars, both black. A dodge Challenger and a Cadillac. The Challenger I...

I certainly understand the attraction and benefits (for most of us) in using a good quality DA. However, it seems that most body shops still turn to the old tried-and-true rotary buffer for polishing. Does a rotary, in the hands of an experienced professional, provide a better finish? By...

Thank you. It was an Innocent mistake. I did apologize and specifically asked for a way to delete the post but got no reply helping with that.

My apologies. Is there a way I can delete this? Thanks for pointing this out, wont happen again.

I know this is an "old school" product, but seems to still get a lot of good reviews. Anyone here using it? How long does it last typically? Pros/cons? Thanks in advance for your thoughts..

Ahh... the dreaded "tire blooming." I hate this! Tire manufacturers should work to eliminate this very ugly characteristic! In my experience (as some others have mentioned) some tire dressing products seem to exacerbate this. So frustrating! I had the worst luck with the 303 Aerospace product...

No commentary directly from Blackfire on this?

I agree with you Paul. I live in Las Vegas where daytime temperatures in the summer reach 115 in the shade! Add another 12-14 in direct sunlight. I have measured 163 degree surface temp on the hood of my car using a laser device last summer. While I kind of expect most any Carnuba based wax...

My car is all black too. This may have something to do with it being so noticeable.

So, it seems others have indeed had similar experience. As I previously stated, I am sure that there is some "protection" that last for a while. Also, all products diminish with time and other environmental conditions. Can anyone explain why there is such a great initial result, but then a...

Curious to hear opinions from other users. I recently stopped using the Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant because it seemed after about 2 days or so, the vast majority of the initial shine, gloss and slickness diminished substantially. When I first apply it, the shine and slickness is unbelievable...

Funny you should mention that about the BlackFire Wet Diamond product. I experienced the exact same problem. Literally a day or 2 after applying it, the majority of the slickness and much of the initial shine was gone. I was so disappointed. I stopped using it for that reason. Too bad though...

Hey guys, Thanks for all the replies. The general consensus seems to be that it does perform well with regards to quality of shine and appearance. Can anyone comment on the longevity? I do realize it is a spray wax, and as such it is unlikely to last beyond a single car wash. Was hoping to...

So, anyone here use ever use Wulfenite (spray wax) from Polish Angel? Got a couple of questions... At $74 bucks a pop, this stuff seems extraordinarily expensive for a "spray wax". Is it really worth it? I know it can be difficult to "define" worth it. But, for anyone using it, are the...
