    Hand foam pad to use with Blackfire`s One Step for application/polishing?

    I have several layers of Blackfire`s Wet Diamond and Crystal Clear on my 2019 G70. Very recently, I applied a layer of System X Renew ceramic spray over existing layers. Always by hand. Results were not as expected. Water beads like crazy, but there is absolutely no sheeting. The beads just...

    Easily remove previous BF Wet Diamond and Crystal Seal?

    Initially, over the years, I have done my 2019 G70 with Blackfire Wet Diamond followed by BF Crystal Seal (all by hand.) I`d like to start over, but too old (and lazy) to clay to remove the BW and CS layers. So, my question is: Would products like BF One-Step or BF All-in-one be the easiest way...

    Ceramic spray over Blackfire Crystal Seal?

    Being old, getting quite lazy, and not looking for 100% perfection (anymore,) I`d like to know if there are any downsides to using a ceramic spray over Blackfire Crystal Seal after simply giving a new car that already has BCS applied, a good washing? And if it is OK, any recommendations on the...

    Old man changing car sealant needs help?

    I`ve been using car sealants on my car`s for years. Actually started way back when with Zaino products. Anyway, about 6 months ago I did a garaged 2019 G70, and about 3 months ago did a garaged new 2023 EV6 GTL with Blackfire Crystal Seal. This seal works very nicely in terms of protection...

    What am I doing wrong with Meguiar`s Last Detail Spray?

    My new car has been detailed with Blackfire Wet Diamond and Blackfire Crystal Seal. About a week after washing (BF products had been on the car for 3-4 months and haven`t been reapplied,) I got caught in a little rain drizzle and figured it would be a good time to use Meguiar`s LDS (in...

    Have you seen vinyl "bubbling" on interior plastic parts? How to fix?

    In two areas on my '05 Z4, I have "bubbling" vinyl...with no reasonable explanation. What is "bubbling" vinyl, you ask? Well, it appears that my tan interior vinyl, is really a fine coating of tan vinyl over the tannish plastic base. This thin covering of vinyl is now bubbling and peeling off...

    While cleaning my 2005 Z4 (a garage queen with 16K miles) yesterday in the the SoFL heat (not really hot yet, but about 82 degrees), I noticed that the plastic cowling that sits over the bottom of the windshield was buckling. That is, it was puckering up off the windshield at about 4-5 different...

    To wet sand or not?

    I'm not a pro detailer, but I think this is the place to ask this question. Recentl had my 2005 merlot Z4 tot he body shop to have some minor front fender scrapes repaired. The scrapes were down and into the primer, but not into the metal. Fender and side of bumper were filled, sanded...
