    And I almost responded first but held off as I wasn’t really enamored by the Hybrid Liquid Wax choice. I’d also just go with the BF One protection initially and consider picking up one of the numerous SiO2 spray sealants or one of the graphene sealants (coming) out.

    Have fun.
    The griots cetamic 3-1 is a nice Sio2 sealant in terms of gloss and protection.

    Another Ceramic option would Pinnacle Black Label Diamond surface coating. Easy on easy off.... it’s spendy but you’ll get a few coats out of it.

    Check out Mike’s reviews he likes it alot and i believe he uses it in his own cars.

    Tom that is incredibly generous of you, at the very least I would like to pay for a portion of it. I will send you a private message.

    I think I’ve concluded what route I’m going with products just need to pick a trim sealant/protector and a wheel cleaner/coating 😂. I’m a fan of Wolfgang and BF (from reading and posts only) so I’m sure it will be one of them.

    Repeat the One Step every year or so. Wait until a 25% or 30% off sale on BF, they happen often.

    But get one of the entry level polishers and a few foam polishing pads to apply the BLACKFIRE One Step - you WILL be amazed.


    Machine applying the BF One Step and then topping with any non-cleaning dedicated sealant, even if you just do the horizontal panels and then after that - wash gently.


    Your car will always look like a million bucks. You can easily do a lot more steps and make it a lot more complicated - but do this AFTER the above, down the road. This way you'll already have the polishers and your skill level, experience and knowledge will be so much higher.

    Thank you Mike, I'm very glad I was patient and read through this forum as well as created this thread. It cleared up a lot and got me focused on realistic goals to start out with. I also never considered to purchase a polisher until your comments and further reading. I'm pretty satisfied with the products ive linked previously (my cart currently) and then just adding some wheel and tire cleaner/protector as well as trim dressing. I'll have to check but i think i may have received a coupon for my first order when i signed up

    Re: Overwhelmed With Options (New Car Protection)

    Well I figured why not just post an update here on progress. Too many interruptions and other tasks to make much headway but I did however accomplish a good wash, BF iron decon, and another wash before bringing it in the garage for next week to take the G9 and BF one step to it. As well as the other products. One thing I noticed is the iron remover is not very forgiving to rubber, I’m sure a good cleaner and protector will regain the uniform black color again but it’s something I noted for future use. Additionally I’m glad I went with the iron remover as there was more than I anticipated on my brand new vehicle.






    Below are the photos of the residue/discoloration from the decon product on the rubber. I’m sure I’ll get it off or back to uniform I didn’t spend much scrub time on it.
