    A 15 min Blackfire mini-detail in the sports bar parking lot!

    A friend had me do the BF 2 step process (no WD) on his new Ciivc about a year ago, ever since then all he has done is wash it and throw some Wolfgang Spritz on it (which I gave him) . He washes about every 3 weeks at a wand type stall wash. I did get him to not use the wand soap....LOL..... After a year, his Crystal seal was still holding up, but we decided to meet at our local sports bar today for the Heat game and I told him we could do a quick rejuvenation if he would buy lunch.. He was like, "Sure, but they don`t have a hose"..... LOL

    We got to the bar about 15 min early. I loaded up 2 gals of Rinseless wash and 6 MF plush towels in my traveling bucket. The waterproof top is a great asset.


    6 towels in the bucket, the whole wash process was 4 minutes with both of us grabbing and using the towels. Don`t ring them out, lay the plush side on sopping:


    Discarding towels as we went - no towel used on more than 2 panels, that is the secret to no scratch:


    a quick dry with waffle weave towels


    a quick wipe of each panel with Crystal seal - no buffing, just walk away


    and the gloss starts after 3 -5 minutes


    after 10 minutes


    after 15 min


    Done - this whole process in a parking lot with no hose took 14 minutes with nobody rushing...and he`s good to go for another 6-9 months with reg washes..

    Thats Awesome. That is so something I would do. Last year you did Total Polish and Seal and BFCS right.

    Last year this month he bought the car new and we brought it home and it went straight to my garage for:

    1. BF TPnS on a GG6 with a grey pad, buffed off with BF Poly spray
    2. Two Coats of BF CS 4 hours apart - kept in garage overnight

    nothing else, I was amazed how much gloss it still had left, although I`m a huge beleiver in WG Spritz, when he has been using every couple weeks or so..

    Still....CS lasts...this is proof to me...

    On one of your previous recommendation I bought Wolfgang Spritz, and I now have a hard time choosing between that and Polymer Spray.

    I think Todd knows I love him...LOL... but WG seems to go farther than BF spray..I find I use too much of the BF vs the WG....and WG goes on BOGO all the time so it really pays....

    I swear by crystal seal on a clean car. It couldn`t be easier. I keep it up with QD until I have to wash again.

    I just got a new bottle of CG Hybrid V7 spray in the other day. Has anyone tried this spray yet?

    Nice job Glen, but next time get a empty bucket for the used mf towels. Grit and gravel like to hide in mf towels.
