I am convinced that either BLACFIRE or Zaino can given an equal finish.. perhaps the BLACKFIRE is a little more liguid IMO.

However, if you have a swirl problem or need fill-in (which I don't) .... perhaps Zaino is the best...

 

I also think that Zaino will last longer.

 

where do you get Blackfire from?

 

You can get it here, but I am a zaino man myself.

Zaino-addict myself, but I'm willing to try other products as well. Thanks for the link!

 

yup.. blackfire looks best on dark colors... gives a nice DEEP looking shine... i've had lots of ppl compliment me and asked what my secret was... heheh..

 

fairladyZ in Japan - Have you ever tried Zaino?

 

Reggi... not yet. But I plan to... sometime .. maybe soon.

Approximately 2 years ago on this site ... we were asking what is the best polish. Brad4hay, who is a noted detailer by profession and a member of this board, posted his comments that now mirror my own. He recommended both, at that time, but gave the thumbs up to BLACKFIRE for its wet look.

Well, I now have a lot of BLACKFIRE products ... but I have always wanted to try Zaino -- just to see the difference ... Temptation exists everywhere.

 

Reggi.. one more thing I neglected to mention...

-->> the ease of using BLACKFIRE... a 2-step process... while giving stellar results...


But as I mentioned.. it is always a case of wanting to know what's on the other side of the fence... is the other product really better ??

 

I havent ever tried blackfire, but i LOVE zaino. It is pretty easy to use and it leaves your car looking sooo nice. You should try it, i am sure you will like it.

 

Where is a good place to buy zaino online?

Both are sweet. Durability goes to Zaino, but I like the application process and shine of Blackfire. I just like using it.

 

Looks great FairladyZ,

i might try this blackfire stuff too especially if it's easy on and off. It says though that it doesn't protect the car, do you re-wax over this stuff?? Or will that take away the blackfire finish?

 

Hey, Brad !! Good to hear from you. Hope you are enjoying your new S-tune.

islandsnow... Try it ! You will definitely like it.

Who told you it does not protect the car ? BLACKFIRE definitely protects your car... same as Zaino.

I don't know what you were using before... but that would definitely affect how you "prep" your Z for BLACKFIRE. I can certainly comment... but would like the expert to step forward... since he posted here...

Brad4rdhay.... Brad -- your advice .... ?

 

What about using the Zaino Z5 for Swirl marks - then going over it with Blackfire?

 

I was debating that as well. I love the Blackfire, the shine lasts on your car for months. I used Zaino for a year, I found the shine lasted about as long as Carnuba Wax products. I had to constantly re-apply to keep the shine Z-5, Z-6, Z-2, Z-6, Z-2, all the products.......all the work.....it got old after awhile.

IMO Blackfire's shine last longer, with no more maintenance than any of the other car waxes.

However, Zaino and Carnuba Waxes, applied correctly hide more scratches than Blackfire.

It's worth a try, worst thing is you might need to strip it off and start over.

 

I just applied blackfire yesterday. It is a lot more watery then the liquid "wax" i have used before. But once it dries up, it was very easy to buff off. it is the best product i have used to far.

 

I'm a Klasse fan after using it. Found it easier to apply and remove than Blackfire and the car looks great.
