Newbie using Blackfire Gloss Enhacing Polish

I purchased a V reg (2000) emerald black Bentley Continental yesterday afternoon for £93,500 - & it still is under warranty. I still havent sold the Arnage - so if there is anyone here at Autopia in the uk and would like a test drive (hopefully leading to a sale) then call me a.s.a.p).



However the Continental is an absolute beauty - I couldnt get to sleep at all - i spent last night till 3am washing, claying, then layering Black color magic all over it. I put another layer on this morning - i took it for a blast and it turned a few heads. I LOVE IT TO BITS. More pics to come. Stay Tuned!!!

My MB 600 sl has never looked better. After much testing, I have found the perfect combination. First I keep the car garaged. If at all possible, it never gets washed with soap. I use a quick detail from One Grand that I buy by the gallon. Then 3M Imperial Hand Glaze followed by Blitz wax . Micofiber towels are a must as they keep from adding swirls. As a glass cleaner, Porsche makes one that is fabulous. As for leather, I haven`t found anything that I can recommend.

Black required TLC, but looks outstanding when done properly.

Thanks for the tips.

JR: That car is awesome! How about posting some pics of the garage you keep all these sweet cars in? I bet it`s just as incredible :up

Hey bjwebster, I live in western NC too. Hickory. Small world huh?

Seems like a great deal for people wanting your arnage! Almost 70k US$ under new car price(based on US msrp) for a 2002 model.

picture is a little small so it`s hard to tell much about the finish... but it looks good. Shiney and reflective.. but not too much like a candied look. probably looks much much better in person. Just curous.. does a car of that caliber have any paint imperfections like other black cars? IE spiderwebbing? :up

The paintwork is near perfect - however it does in broad daylight appear to have several minor swirls - i have been using T-cut to reduce them - but its early days yet. There is also a graze on the rear alloy - however - interior is totally spotless. Ill post more closes ups soon.

Hey John Ross,



Absolutely stunning Bently! There`s not another car on the road that has more class than the new Bentlys. And Black is a perfect color for such a car!



Congrats John, keep her clean!!
