    I believe it came from another detailing supply place in Florida that went out of business. PBMG bought the Blackfire line from them. I believe they were called Proper Auro care, maybe? Todd?

    Re: Blackfire Line

    Both Pinnacle and BLACKFIRE were started by Terry Frieberg, the owner & founder of Classic Motoring Accessories.

    He started Pinnacle, sold half of it to Autogeek/PBMG, and eventually sold the entire company. He started BLACKFIRE to compete against Pinnacle and took it in a different direction. - Pinnacle was all natural/BLACKFIRE used the latest in polymer-tech.

    In fact out of the different brands owned by Stuart Motoring, which is different than Palm Beach Motoring Group, I believe the only ones started by PBMG were Wolfgang and Detailers.

    Pinnacle, Diamondite, and BLACKFIRE were all acquired.

    Any chance of naming your next born after me?

    Blackfire line is better than Pinnacle IMO. Polishes and compounds especially blow Pinnacles away! Pinnacle is a great line, but BF is better. My 2 cents

    I think that is why there is the new Pinnacle Black Label line. It jumps to the next level with more durable paint protection.

    Very true! Makes you wonder what they have in store for the other lines/brands
