Re: Blackfire One Step . . . Video Demonstration.
Awesome with just 2 passes! Then with 6 passes amazing results from it for being an AIO!
Left you a comment on the FB video so you can see my bearded face too LOL. Don't worry about the sound of your talk it's sounds great for me at least LOL. You should hear me speaking english and you will not be my friend anymore LOL j/k
Wish you and Ange the best!

Todd, yes. Much like Aaryn said, I would do similar. I would compound first to go after more severe defects. Wipe off using some panel wipe (IPA, Eraser, etc) after compounding, then follow up with One Step...keep reading

Indeed, they are good. As I too learned on a Subaru, it can be quite effective. I did end up using BF Compound on more severe (not overly crazy, though) scratches on the roof of the car, then followed up with the One Step.

Oh man. People don't like the sound of their own voices! It's funny, how many times I've seen people ask, "Is THAT really what I sound like?" - Too funny. Myself included. I HATE the way I sound. I didn't realize my accent was so strong until I heard myself several times. (Mexican decent, raised in East Los Angeles, they have their own accent, actually)
You seriously tried to sneak in the video? Online, someone is always awake.

Hmmmm. Maybe it's time to consider being a reseller?

Re: Blackfire One Step . . . Video Demonstration.
Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions in this thread.
Yes, my truck is a daily driver and is outside 24/7, 365 days a year.
As I mentioned, I already have Megs UC and BF One Step. I think I'll try a test spot on the hood with just One Step first to see what it can do. From there, who knows - I may end up doing the horizontal panels with UC followed by One Step. Those panels should need the most correction right ?

Meg's UC is underrated.
Great product obscured by the vast options out there today.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Blackfire One Step . . . Video Demonstration.
Cool. Thanks guys.
So, I will need to use something between the Megs UC and BF One Step to clean the UC off ?
What kind of ratio with isopropyl alcohol is best for this kind of thing ?
By the way, Aaryn, fantastic looking results you achieved there. Both the pictures and video are awesome. Thanks for doing this and giving me hope that I can achieve even half the results as you. I would accept that level for my first time doing anything like this.

Nope. I wouldn't.
Just go right to the BF after the UC.
