I have used almost an entire 16oz of BF soap. And I will say it is nice. When used in conjunction with BFWD, BFCS, BFMS it is a great soap. It seams to increase the look and the beading remains great.

But I have had issues using it with other LSP products. When using non-BF LSP the soap seems to leave a film that messing with the beading and sheeting until the "film" wears off. This is odd to me that it does this but with BF products it has no issues and seems to enhance the LSP. I guess that would be the Synergetic Excellence in the BF line.

Hey Troy, there is something brown on you nose!

Unrefined Nuba?!?!?!?


That is actualy a term I coined early in the re-relase of the BF line and how I now describe how products in a complete line work together to create the best possible finish and protection.

Dear Friends

Upon mjlinane`s suggestion, I tried Optimum Car Wash and it thoroughly impressed me. Prior to Optimum`s soap, I`d tried Mother`s (with carnauba) and Detailer`s Pro Series Xtreme Foam Formula. The Xtreme Foam Formula left a better shine than the Mother`s, but Optimum Car Wash beats both handily.

Then mjlinane was fortunate enough to receive a tractor trailer load of Blackfire products, and he tried the new Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo and said it was a step above Optimum Car Wash.

So I opted to receive a sample of Blackfire`s soap with an order I placed, and once I tried it, I was uncertain about its results on our white `12 Odyssey. I was certain the wash dried much better than anything I`d tried before, but after trying a second sample, I still don`t know which soap leaves our van glossier.

Optimum Car Wash isn`t cheap but it`s much less expensive than Blackfire Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo. Remembering mjlinane`s astounding pictures of his work, I went ahead and bought a gallon of Blackfire`s new soap when it went on sale a few weeks ago.

Now I have about one-third to a half-gallon of Optimum Car Wash and an entire gallon of Blackfire`s soap, so I should be stocked up for quite a while.

If anyone is near Buford, Georgia, USA, he/she/they is/are welcome to come over and try the four soaps I mentioned in this post--with a pressure washer and foamer.

[mjlinane]

Thanks Jaddie.

Have tried loads but Optimum Car Wash and Blackfire Conditioning Shampoo are still my favorite maintenance products for my cars. Prior to corrections, I use CG CWC. Most of my customers opt for CG Honeydew Snow Foam for their maintenance.

Thanks for the offer Jaddie, I`m not near Buford I don`t think without using mapquest but I`m reading this in Savannah. Heading off to Tybee Island today then up the coast to Hilton Head.

Do they like CG Honeydew for its foaming properties?

[mjlinane]

Do they like CG Honeydew for its foaming properties?

Mostly for the "non-premium" price I charge them. Is an excellent shampoo nonetheless.

I think CG Honeydew is good in my foam gun and I`ve tried it as a normal wash and it works fine but it`s not my favorite for that use


I haven`t tried the new version of BF but I will once I run out of the old version.

[Van185]

I use several different washes. I mainly use Chemical Guys stuff but I have Pinnalce and Wolfgang as well. I just like the smell of the Chemical Guys the best especially from a foam gun.
