Diamondite (www.diamondite.com)The reason I wanted to try this product is two-fold. A ultra detailed car is not complete unless the glass sparkles.A driving environment is not completely safe unless visibility is maximized. Unfortunately, the glass of our cars are usually only partially...

For those Autopians that have used Souveran paste wax are there any tricks (techniques) beyond product's instructions to maximize results? Any do nots? Please enlighten.:bow PS. Should I have a red or white wine to go with the Pinnacle Souveran?;)

I finally got to try some Clearkote Quik Shine. One word - Excellent. Because I am a polymer sealant and carnuaba user for my vehicles's protection and appearance enhancement I have recently been searching for a single QD product that would give equally excellent results on both types of...

Spoke to Terry this AM and he matched the sale price for Pinnacle Souveran. $39.95 I should have my new toy by Friday!!!:bounce Thanks DavidB for that wonderful suggestion:bow

How is it possible to sell Souveran Paste Wax at such a low price:nixweiss? $69.95 verses $39.95. Does Souveran have a shelf life? Is the mark-up that great? At this price is Souveran's performance verses P21S worth the difference? Does Souveran apply and buff as easily as P21S? Any residual...

After Geeky ( very reliable source) wrote his review about the Abay MF's for $2.75 I bit the bullet ( shipping charge was rather steep for such a small order) and purchased 5 16 x 16. I was not expecting more than a good quality MF towels that I could use for things like jams, glass and...

Hi F355, There are two schools of thought concerning the use of BF polish after GEPC. I see no problem with using either method for my (garage queen) needs for protection. From previous threads it has been stated that the 3 step ( GEPC, BF polish, and BF protectant) gives the best results for...

Is there any significant difference between these 2 PC's in terms of usefulness as car finish poishers? Ease and safety of use? Construction? Availability of various pads?:wavey

As everyone knows I has been converted to using MF towels lately ( call me hard-headed and old school ( 100% cotton)). Like any car care product one has to search around to find which one works best for you and your car's appearance needs. Like sealants, carnuabas, tire dressing, and interior...

Has anyone ever applied a glaze over their existing sealant (Blackfire or Zaino)? I know some here practice applying glaze prior to sealant application and topping directly with Blackfire or Zaino. Any problems ( ? solvents) or benefits to over-laying of cured sealant with a glaze? Just looking...

I have been testing different source of MF towels over the last month. These are the PakShak towels. Extremely soft and adequate ( good) plushness for car detailing. One 16x16 towel removed a layer of Blackfire 2 without any saturation problems. As seen in photo the tags are easily detached and...

The weather is changing and detailing becomes a totally indoor hobby for me this time of year. During the winter I like to purchase and try new items that I discover over the internet and Autopia. A couple of items that caught my eyes were the PoorBoy's "Natural Look" water-based dressing and...

Three types of MicrofiberTech MF towels arrived yesterday. The Elite MF(16x16), the Ultra MF (16x16) and a Waffle-Weave towel (24x16) . They are very nice. Individually packaged and top quality in terms of weave appearance,plushness, color consistancy and seam workmanship. The Elite is tagless...

"Americanshine.com Lazy Man Car Care Wax" I was asked by Dale DeSteno of American Shine to run a trial of two of his products, Glaze and Quik Carnuaba Wax. Last weekend I started this test. In order to insure a good evaluation I Dawn washed the test areas ( hood and top) and used a paint...

Has anyone done a comparo between BF and Platium protectants? Which produced the better wetness, shine and depth? What color was this comparo done on? Was this comparo done with the "improved" Platium? Thanks:wavey

Has anyone used the Blackfire QD? Is there a difference after applying? Does it add gloss and slickness like Z6 does on Zaino'd finishes? Ease of use? Volume usage? Would you re-purchase? Love to heard your observations. :wavey

I applied 20 coats of BF protectant over 60-70 coats of Zaino. So far no adverse effects ( hazing, breaking down of Zaino or inability of BF to bond with Zaino). I have been using Z6 as the QD with excellent results. Update: The BF was topped this weekend with one coats of Z2 without ZFX. The...

"BLACKFIRE is unlike anything else available. It is the result of over two years of research with state-of-the-art super-polymers. These are paint-friendly, water-based emulsions that mimic all the best characteristics of carnauba waxes without carnauba’s weaknesses. When used together in a...

Has anyone applied BF over Zaino? Are they compatible? Will the solvents in BF degrade the polymeric structure of Zaino? I am just looking for something to alter the boredom of just using one product. Zaino results are fantastic but like everyone here at Autopia would like to try a new product...
