Exclamation Stone Z meets Mr. Blackfire (round 1)

I got a new Blackfire Car Kit for my birthday and today was just about as good of day as any to try it out. Started out with the Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner, followed by the Gloss Enhancing Polish, then completed with the All Finish Paint Protection that I also did the wheels with. VERY pleased with the results. Everything was easy on, easy off w/minimal polish dust left over at the end. I had actually planned on hosing the car down to get any excess dust off, but since it was so minimal, I didn't have too.

Here's a few pics of the out come. Since I have a Silverstone, it's hard to get a good reflection like you can a darker colored car, but I'm here to tell you, it's SMOKIN! The paint feels like butter!

Wow, those are some beautiful pics and your car looks great. I have been using Meguiars since it is readily available, but I might have to order some Blackfire. I was considering either Klasse or Blackfire, and it looks like I will try Blackfire first. I hope my G35 Diamond Graghite coupe will come out looking that sweet.

Thanks a lot for the compliments....it's good to know all the hard work pays off!

Default Baclfire Warning

While putting the protectant on my third car all of a sudden it gets really goopy. No where did it say shake before using. The oil was all at the top and turns out there was a lot of separation.
Be careful, I think what I have is still usable, but, I would have liked to have known what the stuff was supposed to have looked like.

Goopy? hmmm.. never experienced that. was your blackfire stuff stored in a warm place? I've had mines for a couple months and it still works great. The best thing i like about blackfire is that you use a small amount at a time. I ordered the deep gloss spray.. it works really good at giving you that blackfire shine.. but its too freagin expensive for me. $15 a bottle!! It does last a while but geeez. I was thinkin about using this as an alternative.. http://www.premiumautocare.com/platulglosen.html

Default Goopy Protectant

I had just received my kit last week, so it was sitting on a shelf some where for a long time. I decided to reorder and send a complaint. Perhaps I can get a partial credit. The stuff is so thick, I think it would take 1/4 of a bottle to cover a whole car. It is about twice as thick as the polish.

Even though I had these problems, the results were good. Although it is not a silvery shine, you can look at it and see great reflections in color. And, the car feels like a baby's behind.

Nice looking - I'm sure it looks much better IRL than in the pics. I noticed that on my car it made the metallic fleck stand out much more than using a carnuba.
