Re: Review - Blackfire Pro Detailers Choice Compound, Polish, Advanced Pad Conditioner
Is this polish considered smat or diminishing abrasives? I have some of it and I’m about to try for the 1st time and I’d like to be sure before I start.

Mike(the guz) was nice enough to send me samples of both the new formula BF compound and polish. I have not tried the compound, but was not impressed by polish. Nothing groundbreaking. On a side note, everything about it reminded me of Rupes UHS polish, especially that it was very hard to clean out of pads.

Appreciate your honesty. I’m interested to give it a run... Last week while I was claying my car, I marred the heck out of it. 1st time that’s ever happened to my Cadillac and I was pretty shocked as it’s got some pretty hard paint.
Turns out my quicky method of using the rinseless wash bucket on a wet car wasn’t sufficient enough claylube for the mitt. I guess now I know why everyone else preaches that polishing is a must after claying... I’ll Never clay like that again. Lol.

Glad you had the chance to try out the polish. I do agree that is not groundbreaking but I found it to work pretty well.
I still don't get the same difficulty in washing out UHS or even this Blackfire polish from pads. My pads cleaned out just fine.

I've actually asked this question a few weeks ago and couldn't get an answer. Most of us know that the abrasive technology found in Wolfgangs abrasives and the old blackfire SRC polish & compound and were developed by menzerna to AG specs. Although I can't tell the difference between Menzerna 3500 and SRC Finishing Polish, I can tell you from experience that SRC Compound has less cut but finishes better and overall is a little bit more user friendly then FG 400.
My theory is the new Blackfire Compound & Polish are developed by Jescar (MenzernaUSA) to AG Specs and therefore utilize the same diminishing abrasives found in Jescar Compound and Polish. I figure if I continue speculating my theory, which is based purely on a "hunch" or a "sneaking suspicion" then someone from AG is bound to correct me sooner or later.lol

I tried the polish yesterday.. It left my paint looking good, easily cleared up the clay marring and minor swirls, but it was kind of a PITA to wipe off. Not sure if the humidity from working just before sunset had anything to do with it, but it took alot of effort to wipe it completely off my hood.
