View Full Version : The result of 18 hours of detailing with blackfire
ive spent approx 2 hrs a day and more all week, and today finally achieved what i was hoping for - i took a snap of the Arnage early this morning - the car now as i look out of my living room window is covered with rain - looks like im in for another long day of detailing tommorow!

The black looks terrific John. How do you like working with Blackfire? How is it to apply and remove? Are you layering the BF? :xyxthumbs
I have been using blackfire for about 1 month - ive been using it on the bentley every day nothing else - i have found that it is relatively easy to remove in warmer tempratures - when im in the garage i switch on the central heating and a electric heater also - but if im doing it outside its ten times harder.
My aim is to get at least 20 layers on - i have found that this has better effect on the black arnage than the light red one - it leaves the black finish so so deep and smooth i just cant stop polishing the bugger.

John: That car looks great. You need to put up some higher quality pictures (and a little bigger) so that we can get a better look at all of your awesome cars

JR, how on earth did you get Blackfire into the UK. I was told there were no plans to export this stuff?

A fellow car dealer who operates in Tipton, West Midlands runs the UK`s largest american car dealership - "Great Bridge Motors" - I requested a kit some time ago - he brought it back into the uk at the same time he brings american cars, parts & accessories. I am sure that anyone in your area who own an american car garge can do the same for you.

Could this guy supply me with Blackfire and any guesses at how much it would cost?
I live in Carlisle in Cumbria, small town with no American cars, actually not that many garages of any sort

it cost me £145 for the blackfire perfect shine kit - its a massive selection of blackfire glass and metal treatments - its enough to last me 1 year.
Call Great Bridge Motors to ask if they would deliver by courier - they may charge u about £10 deilvery. - depends on where your nearest courier is -
by the way u are approx 350 miles from where i live in kensigton - whats the weather like up there?? I have a friend michael knighton who owns carlise football club - if u like football i can get u free admitance to carlise home games.

John, thanks for the information. It will be a month or so before I can afford 150 pounds for Blackfire, but I will call them.
In Carlisle it is raining (it aways rains here) great scenery though. I thought Mr Knighton had sold Carlisle United, I am not a football fan but thanks for the kind offer.
