    Blackfire One Step thoughts....

    I detail on the weekends. Had a 2017 Black Cadillac CTS which are known for notoriously soft paint. I did a test spot with a few of my favorite 1-step polishes for paint on the softer side(Optimum Hyper Polish, Sonax Perfect Finish, Scholl S20 Black). They all looked great under my handheld inspection light, but once I pulled into the sun, that told a different story. Very noticeable toweling marks on all 3 test spots. Tried different techniques with no luck. It was very frustrating to say the least. I decided to give Blackfire One Step a shot. I taped off a large section that had toweling marks from me, and did one side with BF. Wallah, that did the trick! Being that it's very easy to wipe off, that's what I think helped. I remember Mike Phillips mentioning this. BF One Step is good stuff! Saved the day for me! Just an FYI, I've worked on a couple of late model black Hondas which hazed pretty easily, but were not susceptible to towel marring. Soft paint, but not as soft as late model GM black paint.

    I was speaking to a fellow geek on the phone last night. He mentioned that he’s been using it a lot lately and loves Blackfire One Step better than HD Speed.

    Again, I’m not here to speak for him, but I am basing this on what I was actually told.
