Since I was working on a Kona blue Mustang I decided it would be the perfect candidate to try BlackFire total Polish & Seal. I used the BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal since it was a polish that would remove the swirl marks and protect the paint. BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal will clean the paint of contaminants so that it can create a mirror shine and get the maximum protection out of the sealant. When using this product it did not create that annoying dust like some other products. It will also remove wax build up which is saves you time on removing old wax. BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal can be used by hand or machine. Since I could not pull the mustang into the garage I decided to try BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal in the sun. When applying BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal I used a foam wax applicator I was hesitant about applying it in the sun but it actually did not streak.



After I worked BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal into the paint it was time to wipe it off. I used a Supreme 530 Microfiber Towel since it is a thick, soft towel that will not damage the paint. After wiping off the polish I noticed it really made the flakes pop. The polish did remove all the swirls that were in the paint which was surprising since I did it by hand and was not expecting them to all be removed. After using BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal I decided it was one of the best all in ones I have used and gave me the best results I have seen yet. If you are looking to save time and end up with amazing results then this is the product to use.

Even better if you use a white ccs pad by hand (the pill shaped hand applicator) or DA. I'm surprised you didn't have any problems removing it...you got quite a bit of product on there. I work in a very small amount of product on DA until it almost disappears. Good stuff! :dblthumb2:
 
"The polish did remove all the swirls that were in the paint which was surprising since I did it by hand and was not expecting them to all be removed."

I suspect the swirls were not removed, but were made less noticeable; especially since the application was done by hand.

I recently read one of Mike's posts on Man vs. Machine....he took something like 2 1/2 hours to remove swirls from just the hood of the vehicle.

Pick a small section and hit it with Eraser and a Brinkman...take a picture and then I will believe the swirls were removed.

One of my favorite AIOs.

Since the Total Polish and Seal cleans, polishes and leaves behind some sealant, would it be advised or possible to go back over it with a dedicated sealant such as Wolf Gang Deep Gloss Liquid Sealant?
Also would it bond?

Better off using crystal seal or a wax

Curious about this too. Its durability and if adding a sealant will properly bond and extend the durability.

Well it's known that TPnS and crystal seal can go together, since they have the same polymer set up, so should be fine.

I wouldn't use TPnS and then Wolfgang. Keep it in the same product family.
 
I use BF WDAFPP and CS on top of TPnS. Sometimes I even top the CS with BF Midnight Sun paste wax. If you keep it in the family, it will for sure all work together.

IMO, TPnS gets the party started, WDAFPP is the keg that shows up an hour later, and CS is the bikini model jumping out of the cake. Midnight Sun?...that's champagne at midnight.
 
I've never understood the thinking behind using an AIO then topping it off with a sealant or wax.

That no longer makes it an AIO, nor saves any time...and you'd get much better results going with a dedicated polish followed up by a dedicated sealant or finishing wax.

Two steps either way. Unless you use an AIO as an AIO...it's a waste of time and money.

I have always wondered...just exactly how do we know whether or not a product has bonded to another product or not? we spray or wipe on a sealer wipe it off or walk away and things look nice but how do we know if we didn't do anything other than maybe increase to shine for a day or to. Maybe some expert or scientist can answer?
 
A couple of question for Bryan and other users of theis product:

Has anyone NOT topped this with another product and seen how long it will last? I need something that will get me through a mid-west winter.

How thin does the product go on? Will you get decent "mileage" out of a 16oz bottle?

very very thin. I have done 5 cars with my bottle and I'm maybe down 5-6 oz. on my 16 oz. bottle. You want to work it until you can't see it or the haze is very very minimal. basically, if it hard to wipe off when you "think" you are done, you have used too much or you haven't worked the product in sufficiently.

I've never done it alone and left it. Always topped with WDAFPP and CS. I re-up with the CS every couple months and it's never stopped mad beading.

I'm in Iowa and for winter I plan to do TPnS, WDAFPP, and top with Collinnite 845 after WDAFPP fully cures (I go 12 hours).

Honestly, you'll probably never know.

However if you're using things in the same product family, I imagine they all work together well. It's mix and match of products lines I won't do often. Like I won't put Fuzion over BFWD, I'd just use BFMS.
