I was at the paint shop today and found a product called POLYCRACKER designed to act as a wash to remove all trces of silicones and polymers ptior to painting cars. Any used this yet?

Do we know for a fact that polishes remove sealants? If someone has a link adding to this, please post it.

I`m not going to assume any or all polishes will remove any or all sealants, or any combination thereof. My BF GEP doesn`t say that on the bottle. The BF user guide doesn`t say that either.

One thing I do know and that`s Prepsol or equivalent WILL remove any wax, sealant, polish, or whatever. Personally, I use NAPA Econo Prep Clean. It`s does the job quickly, easily, effectively, and inexpensively. What more do you want?

If I am not mistaken most polishes take off a miniscule layer of the paint in order to remove swirls. Do you think the polymer sealant is tougher than the clear coat? I think not........

Oh yeah. I have to mention that when the senior members here finaly turned me onto klasse, i thought it was the greatest stuff since bread came sliced, but now i can say comfortably that Blackfire is better. First, i agree the polish is great. It also removed all of my FI-2 haze and filled in any swirls that were on the surface (FI-2 was only used on small scratches, the rest of the car was almost pristine except for few swirls). The ease of aplication was easier. The sealant was consitanly easy to remove (not as easy as blitz though), where as SG is either easy or PITA. The shine was much better, even better than klasse blitz IMO. Its very wet, and warm like a caurnauba, and has a nice color depth to it, but is also has the clarity and brightness of polymer sealants. The instant cure times are also awesome. I cant wait to really try it out more.

Wow, and I just applied my second coat of Klasse SG and am pretty blown away by the results. If BF has a comparable level of durability as Klasse, it truly must be on a different level.

What about BF vs Z? Has enough time gone by to allow judgement?

Yesterday I went to my first American LeMans event with my dad and brother, it was an awesome day! Sooo many cool cars, both in the paddock and the parking lot. The sights, the sounds, and smells are all so distinctive and exhilarating, I will definitely make this a yearly trip!

Throughout the day there was a TDI Cup race, a Skip Barber race, a GT3 Cup race, and then the main event, the ALMS race.

I`m still working on alot of the photos, and will have more uploaded at a later date, I`ll bump it when I`m done.
