  1. Re: The late/great BLACKFIRE All-In-One Trim & Tire Protectant?

    I've still got about a half a bottle of this. I'm hoping there is a replacement product out before that runs out. I love this stuff and use it all the time. I guess I'll give the Meguiar's M40 a...

    Re: How to get wax and sealant out of foam pads?

    This is fine for cleaning polish out, but it doesn't work with wax/sealant as well.

    Re: How to get wax and sealant out of foam pads?

    I did do this a couple of times. I forget why I gave up on the idea though. I like to try out different waxes and sealants, so it may have just been that I didn't want that many used pads in bags...

    How to get wax and sealant out of foam pads?

    I hear that a lot of people use their DA to apply waxes and sealants. I've done it a couple of times in the past, but what I hate about it is cleaning the pads afterward. It seems like you can...
  5. Re: Is the master Air Force Master Blaster 8-HP Worth 400$ ?

    I have the Master Blaster, and I have also had the Sidekick and the McKee's dryer. The Sidekick is really a fantastic unit. It does an exceptional job for blowing water out of cracks, but it's not...

    Re: BLACKFIRE All-In-One Trim & Tire Protectant

    The only product I've found that seems to have a similar description is Meguiar's M40 Mirror Glaze Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner & Conditioner. I've never used it though, so I don't know how similar it...

    Also, if you really want to the white to pop, make sure that anything black (tires, trim, wheel wells, etc.) are *very* black. The contrast makes the white even brighter. Wolfgang Trim Sealant is...

    Re: white bmw

    I have a 2011 BMW Z4 in Alpine white. I agree with the others about surface preparation. The more contamination you can remove, the better. I personally am not fond of wax on this car though. I...

    Re: Griots PFM drying towel...

    This is truly the best drying towel by a wide margin. The only problem I have is that it's a bit bigger than I'd like. I wish they would make one that is about 2/3 the size.

    Re: PC7424 vibration

    I have the PC and use it a few times a year. I generally stay under speed 6, but that speed also seems to work well with my technique and the products I use (speed 6 seems to dry polish out too...
  12. Re: Best video ever on how to machine buff a car from start to finish

    I totally agree about the number of pads comments. I also agree that it's nice to see you using the PC and basic flat pads (which is what I use). I know a lot of people complain that the PC doesn't...
  13. Re: Best video ever on how to machine buff a car from start to finish

    This really is a great video. I've polished a few cars, but there are a few tips in here that I'm excited about trying next time around. I do think there is one error in it though. Around the...
  14. Re: SCANGRIP Sunmatch Swirl Finder Light - Product Review by Mike Phillips

    I just got mine today and did some quick testing with it. It really is a nice light. The thing I like most about it is that it is much closer to the sun reflecting off of the car than other lights...

    Re: Tips to keep my car clean?

    This is the key. I don't do it every day, but a few times a week. Keeping a car clean is way easier than trying to get a trashed out car cleaned up.

    Re: Dang it Griots!!

    I actually had some of the wax removal towels first. I like them, but they didn't blow me away. Haven't tried the glass towels. That's another one that I have many of from the popular German brand.

    Re: Is Iron Fallout a Regional Issue?

    I'd say it was on roughly 5 minutes. I did get some bleeding on the truck, but that was only on scratches that were deep enough to go to bare metal. I do get some bleeding on wheels (using Sonax or...

    Re: Dressing Wheel Wells

    95% of the time, I just wipe my wheel wells down with Blackfire All-in-One Trim and Tire cleaner and dressing. It has the perfect sheen for wheel wells.

    Re: Best waterless wash

    That's actually one of my favorite things about D115, but I could see that if you aren't fond of the scent it could be overpowering.

    I like Meguiars D115, but it isn't as economical as some other brands at waterless dilutions.

    Re: Backfire all in one trim and tire protectant

    I like it on tires, wheel wells, and engine compartments. I haven't had much luck on trim though, it doesn't seem to last long there. Regardless, it's one of my absolute favorite products.
