Blackfire compound and finishing polish

**KingStyles** · 10-22-2011, 08:12 PM

I am wondering if anybody has any experience with the Blackfire compound and finishing polish. I want to remove swirls on my black lexus. I think I am going to use the blackfire line for the wax and was wondering how there swirl removers work. Would the Meguiars #105/205 combo be better? For light swirls and scratches, do you think they would come out with just the #205 polish or will the #105 polish have to be used? Thanks

There us a link on here that someone just did where they used m205 on a white pad for a black lexus and it came out amazing. I personally like to use all the same brands for detailing so that being said I would go with the bf line up. Never used it so can't comment on how it works. M105 &205 is an amazing combo but m105 can be very frustrating to use at first. Are you using a machine or doing it by hand?

I will be using a groit's. Since I posted this, I did see a review of the BF polishes used on a black suburban (i think) and it came out extremely well. It was a lot worse condition than my lexus. I heard that lexus black is soft so I want to make sure I dont over do it.

Hey KingStyles, Welcome. I understand what you are going through.. I recently joined and was a bit confused as well. I have a jet black BMW. From what I have found out, it has extremely soft paint. While I have not got to detail my car yet with BF. I will be using the finishing polish first with a white LC pad. If that does not work I will try another working up to an orange pad with it. I have seen a chart here that says that the BF compound has a good bite to it. From the mass amount of reading I have done, use the least aggressive method first. I will be doing this with a PC7424XP. (Don't know if it differs much from your machine.) Maybe others will chime in, but try the finishing polish first then work up to the compound if needed. Hope this helps.
