BF Total Polish and Seal vs Poorboy`s Polish with Sealant

[Bunky]

I was cleaning up the wife`s car and wanted to try a one step before I applied Blackfire Midnight Sun.

Machine: Rupes 15

Pads used (all 5.5-in):
Lake Country CCS black finishing
Uber (B&S) blue pad
Lake Country Crimson HT pad

Observations:

Scent - Blackfire is clear winner with the blueberry (fruity in any event) like scent

Ease of use - Poorboy`s. It seemed easy to buff cleanly no matter when you stopped polishing

Cut - Poorboy`s. The ACC chart says PwS has a cut of 3 but with finishing pad it did not seem to have that much cut.

Slickness - tie. Neither seemed to be that slick with an hour after application.

Look - I give the edge to Blackfire for clarity. PB`s seemed to mute the flake. Gloss seemed to be able the same.

Topping compatibility - I put Midnight Sun over it and did not see any difference.

I did try several pads and my Rupes 15 did not seem to like Crimson HT pad (using TPnS at the time). It tended to hop. I am not sure exactly why. No issues with a flat pad.

Very nice little review!

Nice review Al. Not so drawn out that I don`t want to read it, yet enough info to help me make a decision

Helpful review of two popular AIOs. Thanks. BTW what color was the car and could you tell if one cleaned better than the other by the way the pads looked afterwards?

Color was Tuxedo Black Metallic. The pads were not much different since the paint was in very good shape.
