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!:D

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.
