    Blackfire and my GLI

    Thanks everyone! I didn't notice a difference with adding the sealant to be honest. As for clay, I didn't clay it because I just did that not too long ago and was looking for a pre winter clean up. Sent from my SCH-I545 using AG Online

    Blackfire and my GLI

    Thanks for the compliments! I wanted to apply BFWD but with the employee dropping, wouldn't have been able to apply the 2nd coat. I did end up topping with a coat of Bouncers Salute the Fruit wax and that looked amazing, just didn't get a pic before the rain/snow this week but got plenty of...

    Blackfire and my GLI

    I spent some time last weekend while the weather was nice still in Utah and gave my car some Blackfire love. I'm not normally one for posting pictures on forums but this one was unreal (I thought) so wanted to share. I used my Porter Cable 7424xp with a white pad with Blackfire's SLC Polish...

    Blackfire Pad Cleaner, and Microfiber Cleaner Plastic Containers

    I've had this same problem with two bottles of Blackfire pad cleaner bottles and lost more than 3/4 each time. Rather than buying more I'm simply using an all purpose cleaner which seems to work well, but not as good as the BF pad cleaner. I will buy more of it because it works so well, but...

    Opti-Coat Prep for my Mom (need polish input, etc.)

    I have a metallic black VW and have had awesome results with BLACKFIRE SRC Finishing Polish. I was going to use m205 but was told that it can cause micro marring on black as where BLACKFIRE would not. I've had awesome results with my PC and white pads. Just make sure you wipe it down with an IPA...

    What's the worst/funniest detailing mistake you've made?

    When I was in college I used both eagle one tire dressing and window cleaner. Both were clear and the packaging similar and when I went to wash my exterior windows it was strange, because I couldn't wipe them clean. That's when the time realized I grabbed the tire dressing and not window...

    Pot hole from hell...

    I had the same thing happen to me Friday night after helping my buddy detail his truck. Not the same degree of damage, but I did get a flat and a bent wheel as my prize. The real kicker is that it's a lease that goes back next month... Good luck with the repair! Sent from my DROID X2 using AG...

    I'm a big fan as well. It does a great job bringing out metallic flakes and definitely is an easy on easy off wax.

    Today's Tragedy

    I grew up a mile from this school and my parents still live there. My mom is a teacher in the district and my childhood babysitter works in the school and both are safe. It's unreal, can't believe this happened. It's just heart wrenching on so many levels. Can't do anything more than send...

    Best products for Black Car

    Welcome to AGO! I have a Black GLI and have become partial to the Blackfire line. The Gloss Enhancing Polish is more of a paint cleaner but does an awesome job cleaning off the old wax and prepping the paint for a coat of sealant or wax. Also just used the SRC Polish and loved it, did a great...

    Best way to remove Paint Scuffs on bumpers

    My neighbor has a black Audi A3 that they inherited with white paint scuffed on all four corners of the car from the previous owner rubbing the garage door trim. They've asked if I could get it off and I'm sure it's doable as it doesn't 'feel' as if it's scratched or rubbed the paint off of the...

    "Black is not a color, it's a full time job"

    What makes black worse is living on a dirt road, oops! Any event, I'm looking forward to spring to polish out the swirl marks that exist. I've never used any abrasives on my car and only have used paint cleaners such as Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion or Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish and...

    Blackfire C and P

    I just used the SRC Polish on my Uncle's 2010 Subaru Legacy with a dark blue paint and that thing was swirled to no end. I used my 7424xp with a 5 1/4 white CCS pad and went to town and it came out awesome. Still had some swirls left and could have definitely benefit from a compound but all in...
