    Painted metal boat trailer protection

    That might be the way to go. Since the trailer will be new I don't need a cleaning element other than washing. Think I'll contact mfgr to see what process they use.

    Painted metal boat trailer protection

    Have searched this topic and it seems most info defaults to gelcoat protection or stainless boat fittings. I am getting a new Heritage boat trailer next month and wonder what is best for the metal paint trailer surface? I don't know if there is a clear coat application over the paint of any sort...

    Question on BF Midnight Sun Ivory

    Thanks for the comments. I would agree as the truck is garaged when not in use although a daily driver. Have had good luck with BFWD and the polymer spray after washing. Perhaps another coat of the BFWD sealant is a good idea in a couple of months rather than waiting 6 months - and then twice a...

    Question on BF Midnight Sun Ivory

    When I got my 2015 silver Ram recently I clayed it and applied BF Wet Diamond Sealant. After hand washings I usually apply WD polymer quick detailer. My question is this: Would I gain anything in protection or looks by applying the BD Midnight Sun Carnauba over the sealant? After all it is a...

    Dodge Ram chrome bumper protection

    Thanks for the helpful info. I have no reason to think the BFWD would not do the job although with previous 4-runner and Jeep GJ it seemed despite my efforts the grill work would become etched even after 2-3 coats and washing metal between full vehicle washings. It also seemed that some metal...

    Dodge Ram chrome bumper protection

    Hope it works over the top of my Blackfire WD.

    Dodge Ram chrome bumper protection

    Thanks for comments. The Collinite Metal Wax sounds better than most things I've come across. Polishes in my opinion do nothing for protection only cleaning. This seems to do both.

    Dodge Ram chrome bumper protection

    I have a new Ram Laramie and the chrome on the front is extensive. I put a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond on it but wondering the best protection for this material - I guess it is metal/chrome? Would Wheel Wax or some other product be better? My past vehicles would get metal etching over time...

    new truck

    Re: Ram 1500 - will this be ok? I'll be taking delivery next week of a 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie, silver. This is what I intend to do as I've done with several of my cars in the past. The following process seems to have worked pretty well for those vehicles. Looking for opinions and suggestions...

    Wiper Fluid?

    The 2015 BMW X3 manual says not to use non-BMW windshield washer products. I don't want to drive to the dealer just for a top off esp. if it's not convenient or getting ready for road trip. The 1Z Einszett Kristall Klar says it good for German cars. Is this ok for the new X3?

    How soon to wax 2015 X3

    In that case I will just go over them with the Blackfire All Paint Protection when I do the car.

    How soon to wax 2015 X3

    Since metal seems to be the hardest part to keep from deteriorating I wonder if coating of the wheels and any metal on the car would be worthwhile? Didn't have much problem with my wheels as long as I detailed a few times a year but grill/metal parts always seemed to get away from me due to...

    How soon to wax 2015 X3

    Appreciate the info on coatings, intriguing. The car is not due till May and since it is garaged and I like doing the Blackfire 2-3 times a year I may stick with that routine. Have maintained the paint very well even in the CO mtns with that routine. Hard to say what I would gain if I want to...

    How soon to wax 2015 X3

    Since I plan to keep the car for 4-5 years I think I'll stick with the Blackfire All Finish twice a year as I had good luck with this on prior cars. Not sure a sealant/coating will benefit me that much but I welcome any arguments pro and con.

    How soon to wax 2015 X3

    I am not that familiar with coating vs. waxing (BF type product). Could you direct me to info on that?

    How soon to wax 2015 X3

    Ok, great advice. Yeah, I probably would clay just to get a good start for the future - doesn't take long, then wash again and to the BF Wet Diamond.

    How soon to wax 2015 X3

    If a 2015 BMW is produced in April and delivered in May is it ok to wax or do I need to wait awhile? Would be using Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection. Unless I see a need I don't plan to clay or use a gloss enhancing polish. Does this plan sound ok? Other suggestions for a new...

    BF Wet Diamond sealant VS WG DGPS 3.0

    I began using BF Wet Diamond and the BF Gloss Enhancing product on 3 cars this past spring. I am now detailing them out prior to winter. I have tried a lot of waxes/finishes over the years and I can say without reservation that BF Wet Diamond and the Enhancing polish beforehand is the brightest...
