Hello,

I am new to this forum and live in Miami. I just bought a few blackfire products to try out on my 2012 genesis. I will post pictures this weekend after I finish waxing it.
 
Welcome to Autogeek Online! You'll love the Blackfire line.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to post them up here.
 
Thank you for the warm welcome! My Blackfire kit just came in and I am starring at it anxiously waiting for friday.

I have the gloss enhancer polish, wet diamond, and the midnight sun wax.

Any recommendations or tricks on how to apply it layers to put on the car?

Any suggestions for leather care products?

It's really better to start a "dedicated thread" in a forum like Detailing 101 versus ask questions in the "Intro" forum because no one can tell from the title of your subject,

That you have questions about polishing paint and taking care of leather. That said, here's a few tips...

You never mentioned if you were working by hand or machine so I assumed you are working by hand.

Working by machine is so much easier...
