    Need some suggestions for removing grease

    Not familiar with that product. Looking it up, it looks pretty strong. Is that going to be safe for the wheels and tires? I don't care about stripping off protection, I'll put another coat on before they get stored for the winter. Just don't want to do any damage.

    Need some suggestions for removing grease

    I'll try to condense this story... I've been hearing a rotational rubbing noise from the wheel area on my 2014 Ford Fusion for a while, had it in to the dealer several times to figure out the problem. They finally heard it too and told me it was "the tires flexing on the wheels". I know, I...

    Need help with cleaning vomit

    My son threw up in the backseat on perforated leather. I cleaned it up as best I could with water and rags, followed by a good cleaning with Blackfire interior cleaner. I can still smell the vomit, and it seems likely to have seeped through the perforations into the seat cushion below. Is...

    CarPro Hydr02 questions

    I've always used Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant on my car and have been very happy with the results. I do everything by hand, and although this takes me a long time, the end result has always been well worth the effort. I've been reading about Hydro2 and watching videos, and it just seems...

    wheel and tire storage

    Somewhat off topic...I will be purchasing snow tires and wheels for my 2014 Ford Fusion in the next week or so. I previously drove a 4WD truck so didn't switch out summer/winter tires. This got me thinking about what the best way to store the summer wheels and tires would be. My garage is...

    Sonax full effect question

    The product description on AG says it's safe for painted/clearcoated wheels, but on the product label itself, it doesn't mention that type of wheel, just aluminum and alloys. I just wanted to confirm with someone who has used it on painted/clearcoated wheels to make sure it's safe before I...

    Aquapel question

    Thanks for the info. My daughter was helping me and when the entire windshield looked like one big hazy cloud she gasped and said "Dad what did you do!?!".

    Aquapel question

    I treated my windshield with Aquapel today. I think perhaps I was moving too slowly and maybe also because I was in the sun, but at first it really clouded up the whole windshield. I followed the directions using paper towels to take it off, but it was tough and required quite a bit of elbow...

    2014 Sterling Gray Metallic Ford Fusion

    Thanks, I'm really impressed with the Blackfire products. I'll be using their interior cleaner and protectant on the inside as well. Now if I can just convince the wife that we need a foam lance to make washing that much more fun!

    2014 Sterling Gray Metallic Ford Fusion

    Hey everyone, I'm not a pro by any means, just a guy who likes to spend time on his car. This was my first attempt at a real exterior detail on a vehicle. My Fusion is just a few weeks old. I don't have any machines (yet) so everything was done by hand. - Wash with Chemical Guys Mr. Pink -...

    Sealant and rain

    Hi everyone. I'm detailing my 2014 Ford Fusion tomorrow. I've had the car about two weeks. For the exterior, I'll be washing, claying, then using Blackfire gloss enhancing polish, followed by Blackfire wet diamond sealant. My schedule is very full, and tomorrow is the only time in the...
