I typically order one LSP every time i make an order. Just looking for opinions on these two products.

Thanks! :xyxthumbs:

I thought blacklight was a glaze with maybe 2 weeks worth of polymer protection.

Blacklight goes under your LSP

Blacklight is an AIO from what I understand. It is a sealant with very mild cleaners in it. I've seen a review showing durability similar to other sealants (4-6 months).

Maybe we need a CG rep on this board to sort out their products, lol.

BTW I heard blacklight is dating Paris Hilton!

I would put Pete's 53 OVER Blacklight...you won't believe how awesome it will look. Blacklight can be topped with any sealant or wax...

There is a CG video that shows them using JetSeal over the top of Blacklight.

Two different products. I use Blacklight as a AIO and have put 53 and 50/50 over the Blacklight, but prefer not to layer them.

You will get 1-2 months with Blacklight and 2-3 months with 53 or 50/50.

Blacklight is very similar to Optimum Poli Seal and D151. It will clean the suraface, super light polishing, and seal with an amazing shine.

I currently use both. Blacklight is god's gift to detailers. I can even skip my jeweling process of using a gray pad and a fine polish...all in favor of a gray pad and Blacklight.

It's literally EZ creme, with sealant and cleaning properties. Love it. I have topped both off with Petes 53 and Fuzion to great effects.

To the poster who said that Blacklight topped with 53 is amazing, wait till you try blacklight, Hybrid V7 spray, then 53 or Fuzion..... even better.

If you use it like you suggest, how long would you let the blacklight cure before topping with a wax?

BL says can be topped after 15 minutes but I'd give it a bit longer...

it stains trim btw, so be careful

Yeah the directions say 15 mins, but I've topped it after 15, 30, and even a few hours (had to go do something else). But I haven't seen a big difference in either, if at all. Applying it with a buffer also speeds up the cure time, esp at a faster speed. When I use it as a final polish AIO, I'm at speeds 5 to 6 with a gray pad.
