Just a quick exterior job with Blackfire

The Highlander was in great shape so there are no before pictures, however my process was as follows:

Wash: CWC at strong dilution to aid in removal of previous LSP.
Clay: Pinnacle Poly clay.
Polish: Menzerna FPII with the Flex DA and a blue finishing pad. The finish was in great shape therefore no need to bring out the heavy hitters. This was mostly just to "jewel" the paint.
Rewash: CWC at normal dilution
Paint Cleaner: KAIO with the Flex DA and black pad.
LSP: Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant. Easy on, Easy off. First coat applied with Flex and blue pad. After overnight curing a second coat was added. This coat was done by hand.
Wheels: KAIO to clean and FK1000p to seal.
Windows: KAIO.
Grill: Optiseal.

Now on to the pics, comments welcome. I have thick skin so go ahead and fire away!
BTW, I'm not a great photographer and only have a point and shoot camera. Actually "not great" is overstating my ability!

Re: Just a quick exterior job with Blackfire

Coincidence, but I just finished a car with Blackfire sealant, and I agree It has to one of the easiest products out there to use and gives a very slick finish.

This was my first time to use Blackfire. I'm curious to see how it holds up.

Very nice. White is hard to make pop and you popped it.
