Clearkote, 3M, & Balckfire questions

Hey Everyone,

I had some questions on how my new shipment of Clearkote/Blackfire products would work with my 3M polishes (rubbing compound, machine polish, & ultrafine machine polish -1, 2, & 3).

I just got in: VM, RMG, CMW, YCW, and Blackfire Wet Diamond.
(Also some ONR, cant wait to try that stuff)

I was trying to find out if using Blackfire after RMG & CMW would be worth doing or should I just use RMG with CMW as a LSP & keep the Blackfire for a LSP for the polishes.

Also I've hear that one of the Clearkote's products can replace 3M's Ultrafine polish. Is there any truth in that? If so which product?

And lastly, how long would you recommend letting the Blackfire cure for?

I do plan on getting M#105 & M#205 later on but the funds ran low

Thanx for your time Everyone!!!!

Re: Clearkote, 3M, & Balckfire questions

Use CMW or Blackfire after RMG , don't use both, you are just wasting product. There is "to much of a good thing" in detailing. I let Blackfire set up as long as 2 hours and as short as 15 minutes. If Clearkote makes a polish to rival Ultrafina, I'm not aware of it

Tell me about it. Through yesterday, we've had only two days this month without measurable precipitation.
