Wow, I really like this product
I`ve detailed a total of four cars and it`s been a pleasure to see the final results...
I`ll post some pics, and so that I can save some time in the process description, I will reveal it here upfront so you guys know what I did. Every car got the same process:
-Wash with DG901 and Mguiars Gold Class on the Black T/A
-Blue Magic Claybar DG521 as lube
-IPA 50-50 wipedown
-Menzerna PO85RD3.02 and M105
-Blackfire Gloss Enhancer
-Blackfire Wet Diamond All Paint Protection Sealant
-Tires: DyNA Concours Tire Treatment (Detailing Dynamics)
-Hard plastic trim: DG265
-Polishers: Flex XC 3401, PC7424 and Griot`s Random Orbital 3 Inch Polisher
-Pads: LC CCS Constant Pressure Orange, White and Black pads

First up, a 1999 Black T/A:

They all look great, Thanks for sharing!:thumbup:All the cars got the same process, with the exception of the Red Porsche and the Green Corvette that got M105 and M205 because they were in worst shape than the others, nevertheless, they ALL still got Blackfire products and Menzerna, including the Porsche and the C4.
Thanks for the good words! :smile:
