first quick detail
Time to detail today ,and I've sent this procedure to a few here:
1. wash car with Dawn...to strip the car...you do this once.... 2. I use a prep towel which is better than clay, then wax on the total polish and seal, buff it off and wipe on and walk away the Crystal seal - no buffing - whole car is about 60 min to do...I don't believe in hard details....LOL And it comes out like this for 3 months: Polymers set up a "candy like" look I love..you can see some of the depth here: Products used here: towel http://www.autopia-carcare.com/speedy-prep-sponge.html tpns http://www.autopia-carcare.com/black...lish-seal.html cs http://www.autopia-carcare.com/black...stal-seal.html

Have you tried Mother's Detailer? I use it on my classic car and it seems to work good. I just want to see how it compares to your product.

just can't get enough

Yesterday morning... visited Glen and with his guidance, we did the Duragloss rinseless w/ aqua wax, and then dried, and then applied Blackfire's Crystal Seal process on my silver coupe... it turned out nice & shiny. Here's a few pics along with Glen's cool CGM:
Later that afternoon while back at home in the garage, I resealed with the Blackfire and as per Blackfire's instructions/recommendation, although not required, I also applied a layer of premium wax... boy does this blade silver glisten even more! |

I like how they are shinig. There is a company in Arkansas, I spoke with Friday and they are selling all their Blackfire stuff on sale and then not re-stocking it....so I was kind of puzzled, but I went with Adams.....really liked the service I got from Nick

I've used Meguiar's cleaning products in the past and had great luck.
By the way I can't remember if I told you already but I love your rims Glen!
