Do all of these vehicles belong to one person? If not the correct statement would be "Here are some of my clients vehicles." Thus indicating the collection of vehicles you presented are from a number of different or unique clients.

Fair enough, these pictures are from numerous clients.

Great looking pictures!! I don't have a polisher. It's wax on - wax off. Is it essential to use a polisher or will by hand work too? Thx...

You can go both ways, but with a polisher it will look much more better.

I love the Blackfire Wax. Here's my treatment on an '05 Escalade.

ak, welcome. You can apply many of the better products available by hand and do a decent job, but once you have tried a machine polisher and see the difference they make, you will not go back. The biggest difference will be in the "polishing" or"cleaning" stage. Hand application will not allow you to work most polishes effectively and render any real correction to the surface. If your ride has some minor swirl marks or blemishes, a random orbital, with the right combination of pad and polish will do wonders. If the blemishes are a bit more severe, you may need to step up to a good "Dual Action" or even a "Circular" polisher. These last two have a bit of a learning curve, but can be mastered by just about anyone that tries to learn their capabilities. The RO's, like the Porter Cable 7424 or the Meguiar's G-110 are a bit safer to start out with, but will do less corection in most cases. I hope this helps and maybe someone else can help explain the benifits of a machine versus hand application.

As far the application of the actual Blackfire sealant and wax, it will not make a huge difference either ways. I have found that I enjoy applying Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant with a Lake Country Gold Pad on my Porter Cable 7242.
While these are great products in my humble opinion, a wax and sealant can only do so much to get that mind blowing shine.

When paint is lightly scratched it will scatter light in different directions, robbing the paint of gloss. Machine polishing with a Dual Action polisher can make huge differences in the gloss and the shine of the paint.

Here are a couple 'split' photo graphs to illustrate the difference. Neither side has been waxed, but rather the paint on one side has been enhanced through polishing. Even with out a coat of wax, the original paint on this 5-liter Mustang looks deep, dark, wet, and amazing. Imagine the car after the Blackfire was applied to the refinished paint!!!
