Little help on starting out

**adio369** · 03-19-2012, 02:58 PM

Hey guys, new member here!

Really like the forums so far, been looking around and stuff. Good information on here BUT...only thing is i`m somewhat confused as to what I should get. First i`ll start with my car, its a 2009 honda civic si BLACK! Bought it about a month ago and I noticed swirl marks (probably horrible detailer at the dealership) didnt notice it till i gave her a bath today.

Anyways, I really like the blackfire products but I`m trying to keep this under 120$. I will be doing everything by hand, eventually i`ll be a PC...just not now. Looking for any advice on polishes, waxes ect!

Welcome to AutopiaForums!!

You can`t go wrong with BF.

You will need a machine to remove the swirls effectively.

don`t know how effective it`ll be by hand but bf polish and seal is supposed to fix minor imperfections.

okay, worth a shot, if it doesn`t I guess I could bug the sh*t out of my buddy to let me use his work buffer. So the BFWD all finish takes the place of a wax?

BF WDAFPP is an excellent LSP. If you want wax, BF Midnight Sun is there.

Alright, what is recommended? car is being kept outside. wouldn`t a wax be more durable or am I getting this completely wrong. haha

Sealants are generally more durable. Go with BF WDAFPP.

so generally speaking, Blackfire Wet Diamond Kit a good kit to start with?

Yes you may go by hand using the BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish on your new Honda. But it will be even better when or if you can get a polishing machine with pads that will help your shoulders from doing it by hand. the dealer use a glaze type product to shine and cover the paint up so customers think the paint is like it just came out of the paint booth. Just a little elbow work by you will accomplish the look it deserved. Welcome......
