Default Prep for Blackfire?

I got a Blackfire New Car Kit for my birthday and I have a question or two about intial sequence. The kit came with three different bottles....

1. Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner
2. Gloss Enhancing Polish
3. All Finish Paint Protection

Ok....I'm ***uming that the Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner is for subsequent washings after the car has been polished and protected, and not for the initial wash before using the polish and paint protection.....correct? If so, should I wash the car with dish soap (Dawn) intially before using the polish and paint protection for the first time, then use the Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner from then on?

Thanks for the help!

you can use the Shampoo it came with for regular use and first time use. don't need to do the dawn wash. Just shampoo.. polish.. and all paint protection. then use the MF wipe towels it came with to buff off the haze. Use one of the green applicators for polishing and the other for the all paint protection. Also, post some pics after you blackfire your car!!! hope that helps

TIP: you can also apply the all paint protection onto your wheels to make them shine and remove brake dust easier in the future. Apply it on clean, dry, cool wheels though.

I also received a Blackfire complete kit and when I applied the all paint protection how long does it take to haze? The reason I ask is because it spewed out of the bottle when I first oppened it and it's quite liquidy, don't know if it's supposed to be or if it just got seperated. Also I'm using only a little little bit and spreading it all over but I find that is still takes a long time to haze and takes some work to buff off, bit oily ish. Did I get a defective bottle or do I just really need to use less? Great shine though, very happy with all the products, specialy the rim/tire cleaner

All you need to do is shake the bottle. The product has seperated.
