I spent some time last weekend while the weather was nice still in Utah and gave my car some Blackfire love. I'm not normally one for posting pictures on forums but this one was unreal (I thought) so wanted to share.

I used my Porter Cable 7424xp with a white pad with Blackfire's SLC Polish then followed that with Blackfire's Gloss Enhancing Polish and topped it with Blackfire's Crystal Seal Paint Sealant. The Gloss was mind blowing.

BF is amazing on dark paints. Next time put a coat of BFWD on between the polish and the Crystal Seal. Let the WD haze for about 30-45 minutes then wipe off. Wait 12 hours then CS. Wait 3 hours then another coat of CS. For even more depth, add a coat of BF MS paste wax 24 hours after the 2nd coat of CS. Mind blowing!

Thanks for the compliments! I wanted to apply BFWD but with the employee dropping, wouldn't have been able to apply the 2nd coat. I did end up topping with a coat of Bouncers Salute the Fruit wax and that looked amazing, just didn't get a pic before the rain/snow this week but got plenty of compliments! :-)

Don't need 2 coats of WD. 1 coat of WD followed by 2 coats of CS.

Did the sealant increase the depth of the gloss ? In the past most people felt the polish is responsible for the gloss and the sealant just adds the protection.

Thanks everyone! I didn't notice a difference with adding the sealant to be honest. As for clay, I didn't clay it because I just did that not too long ago and was looking for a pre winter clean up.
