Default Blackfire... Just hit the 25th Anniversary...



In the same vein as Bonz and his Zaino posts... I just hit the 25th time of Blackfiring my baby...

I am still in awe of the Doc and his 50+ with Zaino... my hat is off to him ---



The 25th Blackfire took place after this 210 mile run today.. Sunday/ November 16th... temp was around 63F.. and beautiful....

Bonz... Thanks ! ... I am going to have to take a two week vacation and Blackfire two-three times a day to catch up to you...

However, your Brick Z will forever set the standard benchmark.....

mrZee...

Blackfire is a two step process as you mentioned. The claying is optional... but recommended when you start.

Blackfire or Zaino... you can't go wrong either way.

9am_me, the dark color of your car makes up for the lesser number of layers. Nice reflection!

Fairlady Z, you and I have to work harder given our lighter colors.

s9am_me, CMA had a shine contest last year and gave away a Vac-N-Blow. If they have another contest, you DEFINATELY need to submit this pic.

Absolutely AWESOME!!!!

Just got back from a trip...

TCL.. you are so right.. time to rub-a-dub to catch up to that shine of s9am_me. WOW ... the beauty of dark colors !

s9am_me... no.. I am not using the same bottle.. switched to the new bottles and new formula. Everything I have is Blackfire... clay, shampoo (I love the stuff), gloss enhancing polish, all finish paint protection, deep gloss spray, wheel & tire cleaner... and yes, I go through the 2 step process every time. That process with everything else... easily takes 3 hours. However, I love every step -- and the layer buildup is "lookin' good, real good" a la Bonz.

It is becoming more and more addictive... Have already ordered some more replenishments to pick up when I am back in the US over Thanksgiving.
