    That is what I turn to if the keramik/yellow microfiber leaves any haze, and I want a one step. I've also used Quarz on Yellow pads, but I still think UHS gives better gloss.
    Agreed! Great one step if you do not want to go around car or huge truck 2 times doing compound and polishing steps.

    Love this stuff big time...And huge time saver as well!

    Have you tried the UHS system on ceramic clearcoat paint?

    Thanks for shareing your work!
    Haven't tried BLACKFIRE AIO on a coarse pad. Tried it on a Rupes white pad, meh... And then tried it on a Rupes yellow pad---much better. That's the combo I used on the GMC. Cleaned out the surface film and produced high gloss but did not remove moderate deep scratches. Decided to up the cut more with the UHS system and it got the job done with a LSP ready surface.

    Have no idea how it will work on a ceramic clearcoat paint. My guess it might fall just a tad short on a complete removal. Not sure tho...
