    Re: New shampoo advice

    Has no one here tried BLACKFIRE Car Wash (formerly Midnight Sun Conditioning Shampoo)?

    I have six years of modest detailing experience, which makes me much less experienced than many of you, but I`ve used Optimum Car Wash, BLACKFIRE Car Wash, Hyper-Wash, Honeydew, Xtreme Foam Formula, Gold Class, and Stripper Scent shampoo, Reset, and, just yesterday, BLACKFIRE Foam Soap.

    My two main soaps have been Optimum and BLACKFIRE. Optimum foams better and smells better, (BLACKFIRE`s soap may not have any scent), but BLACKFIRE rinses off quickly, as it does contain drying agents (and it does foam well). But the main thing is that BLACKFIRE leaves my white Honda Odyssey very shiny and with paint that pops. A white Honda Odyssey that`s just been delivered to the dealer from the factory doesn`t have "popping" white paint. BLACKFIRE`s soap does leave behind its magical polymers, which I assume are responsible for the great shine.

    So I`m very happy with BLACKFIRE and will start on my fifth or six gallon on the next wash.

    CarPro`s Reset works very, very well on my wife`s CQuartz-coated Escape. It`s a strong, concentrated soap. If I get any on my hands, they crack open.

    I probably need to coat my Odyssey and use Reset with it, but I want to use up my BLACKFIRE LSPs first.

    Jaddie- The only BF stuff I`ve tried is what came with the original All Finish Paint Protection kit. IIRC, and it`s been a while, that shampoo was HARSH, like..."strip your LSP"-harsh. No surprise that it cleans well if it`s the same stuff!

    I wouldn`t like something as harsh as the Reset sounds, too great a chance of getting it in my eyes (no, I don`t wear eye protection every moment I`m doing a wash ).

    I have several bottles of Blackfire Conditioning soap. It has a purplish tint and a light scent/. It is a nice all around soap. It rinses very well.

    It`s pleasant. I almost want to say "grape" but it`s been a while since I`ve used it. (Duh, I can check when I get home. Though, it might smell different in concentrate)

    Accumulator, any chance you can recall what year you got that soap (or kit)?

    Was gathering some older BF products to use on my wife`s Kia and noticed I had a bottle of BF Midnight Sun Conditioning Shampoo. If it`s that harsh, maybe I won`t use it.
    Mainly, though, I`d be rinseless washing said Kia.

    It was back when I still had the previous shop, but after I bought the `01 S8...so maybe mid-late 2001/early-mid 2002.

    It was before they came out with the "Midnight Sun" stuff, so yours might be completely different.

    I knew you`d narrow it down to within a year or so

    Thanks!
