Thumbs up Claybar + BlackFire + TXSTYLE =

Things that go BLING!

I have long been (and still am) a Meguiars man.
But........ My boy Ricky (DaKineZ) turned me on to BLACKFIRE 2-stage Wax & Polish, so I decided today to apply it after my once-a-year ClayBar (Springtime) and I am IMPRESSED to say the least!
Easy to apply and remove, and simply S L I C K & S H I N Y as can be.

Now then....... Where's my sunglasses?

Clean Z. I claybar once a year myself.

Personally, Meguiars new Tech Wax is my favorite so far. One step, comes off easy etc. I've tried almost everything out there. Including a years use of Zaino with multiple coats. Honestly you cant tell a difference (at least on chrome silver). I always clay (clay magik), follow with 3m swirl remover, etc etc. The new Meguiars is by far my favorite.

I agree 100%! I have tried damn near EVERY detail product (worth trying that is) on the market, and if I can't justify spending extra cheese based on "finished product/appearance... I ain't doing it. I will no doubt, stick with Meguiars in some form or fasion. But I'm always open to suggestions from people who know their stuff. I am also interested in a new product from Eagle 1: NanoWax



The first polish and wax utilizing advanced Nano technology to fill fine scratches and conceal swirl marks.


NanoWax is our most technologically advanced wax created using Nano technology. This formula is better at filling fine scratches and concealing swirl marks than traditional waxes. It also provides an amazing shine and leaves no wax residue behind. We believe NanoWax is the best performing high gloss wax formula on the market today. It’s an easier way to protect your car with a long lasting wax and high gloss shine.

Easy to remove, no white residue
Conceals minor scratches and swirl marks
Comes in convenient pump bottle for control and ease-of-use
Smoother coating minimizes smearing after polishing


In pack bonus:
Every bottle of NanoWax includes a free non-abrasive microfiber polishing cloth and foam applicator. Ultra-fine micro fibers actually lift and remove excess wax resulting in a streak-free, glossy shine.

I heard about that stuff. I'll try it when I run out of this meguiars tech wax. Nice rims btw. Better choice over the chromed ones you used to have.
btw: call me crazy, but my car looks better with the meguiars than the zaino

TX - nice job, your car looks like it could be AluminumSilver (or whatever that new silver is called.)

I just picked up some NXT, can't wait till this weekend to try this stuff out. I have a SB Z and was pretty happy w/ Meg. Gold Class. Recently tho, I've been using the Turtle Wax colored wax for black, suprisingly, that's some good stuff. Hides swirls and minor scratches pretty good. Only complaints I have about it is that it is hard to take off if not cured long enough and doesn't last too long.

If you really want to shine, use Zymol--not the cheap stuff they sell at Autozone, but the real deal. You can pick it up for around $40 a container at most on-line auto accessory retailers

Brilliant!! Your car's paint looks like that 13K custom job on the Auto Show Z from those pictures.... Glad you liked how it turned out.

I have been extremely satisfied with Blackfire for its ease of use, shine and superior longevity over regular waxes.

I found out the BlackFire can be ordered from www.properautocare.com

The Nanowax from Eagle 1 is pretty new, so I would check with your local Parts Store.

You need to put it on ULTRA thin.. and let it dry fully. If its smearing, let it dry more.

You also need a clean towel.. if your towel gets 'full', its smears too.. so everything looks streaky vs buffing clean.

When I put it on, you can barely tell anything is on the car. Then I usually wait at least an hour or two before I wipe it off. I've left it on overnight before.. and buffing it off the next morning was like dusting the car.. it came off that easy.

I used that NXT wax last weekend, BIG FAN! Made my SB look great. However, it seems to remain soft after removal. It looks great though. Also, it smalls so good you want to eat it.
