ok lets see what these two big boys can due.. Car is a 2008 bmw 128i vert. I am applying product as per the companys instructions on there product... I washed the car with megs ultimate wash, Then clay bar with megs, to get the paint as clean as a babys bum... once that was complete I started the test.. both sides get new pads for each stage, except the midnight sun polish, upon there recommendation I will be using there supplied foam applicator..
I applied the meg. polish went over it 6 times, on 4 speed, 3 horizontal, and 3 vertical. left sit about one min. then buffed off with two new meg 2020 towels. once done towels are tossed. Now on to the bf side. used a new foam applicator, same speed, and 6 passes, Now according to Blackfire, leave until it starts to haze but don`t let it haze.. ok, so I let it sit for about a min.. NOW THIS IS THERE RECOMMONDATION, it stupid hard to remove as a matter of fact I cant get it off so I reapply some black fire polish and wet the trunk lid and while wet I finally get there product off.... Meguires 1 Blackfire 0. So on to the next step, I will add the Blackfire WET Diamond. This time I apply with a new soft pad and its quick on and quick wipe off with two Meg 2020 towels. once done towels are tossed. So how does the car look after this, well no difference at all none zip zilch.... exactly the same as the Meguires side with just polish on it.. so Meguires 2 Blackfire 0,
Ok now the real test the wax, according to Blackfire here is where there product will excel and out perform anything out there in its price.. So a new foam applicator for the Meg, side. This time I slowed down the speed to 3 and went over 6 times again..... Went over to the B.F. side grabbed the little yellow foam applicator and did the same with 6 passes with light pressure.. Meg. says easy on and easy off with the finger swipe test for removal time.. B.F. recommended the same and stressed not to let the wax haze.... ok I did as stated... wiped both sides with new towels and stood back and admired my trunk lid.... Pulled the tape off and, well there was a difference. Head to Head, the Meguires outshines and has better and deeper gloss to the color. This paint has a metallic pearl in it and it looks great on the Blackfire side, but excels on the Meguires side.. Sorry Blackfire but I have to give this one to Meguires as well. so Meguires 3 and Blackfire 0. This test does not take into account longevity so I cant score brand on that, but I can score on cost. the Meguries wax was $35 bucks, there polish 13, for a total of $48 bucks.. Now I paid over 150 for the BlackFire so on a cost per value basis, Meguires again...
As you can see here I don`t favor any brand but, this is an equal test done as per both manufactures and visual results don`t lie... Sorry I wont be buying BlackFire again.... seems to me to be a good product but not worth the money and certainly dosent give anywhere near a whiplash effect... I tried the b.f. on another bmw with a different color and same.. good outcome but nothing better than what the car already had..So two cars different colors, same results.. pics available of my other bmw.
