Detailed: Audi R8 GT V10- Testing some new BLACKFIRE (60 pics +)

Great job guys, dont think any other detailers in the US have done the GT yet, this will be hard to beat!

Thanks Dave. I wasn't aware how rare/new these are. I know its a cool car that belongs to a fabulous client of Dave's and mine and that it had to be custom ordered in the color it is, but that's it.
 
Great write-up. I like the idea of wrapping a microfiber towel around a credit card to get into the crevices. Beautiful car!
 
Work it out Todd!:rockon

Oh and nice work on the car , I almost forgot!:D

Thanks DC!


All this blackfire talk is driving me crazy. Want the new products to drop ASAP. Car looks great

Thanks BLK. I am working hard today to make that happen. I can promise you the team at PBMG has put in TONS of hours.


I've always been a fan of your work. Amazing job!

Thanks wesr!

Translation: "Hey Todd, how 'bout sending some new Blackfire samples my way?"

We're on to you DC.:lol2:

:rofl:bigups:rofl:bigups
 
I love how detailed your posts are! Keep it up, I'm basically learning how to detail via your efforts. :rockon
 
Todd you say that you wiped then entire automobile down gently with Meguiar's M34 Final Inspection and a soft Cobra microfiber. Then you went to step 5 and applied the wax. Apparently you didn't have any bonding concerns going over the final finish?

No, M34 doesn't leave anything behind so no concerns! :bigups
 
I have been so busy this year that I havent had much time to spend on the site. But I'm sitting here wondering if I should believe my eyes. If i'm not mistaken I just read a write -up from Todd Helme that had him Finishing with a pad made of something other than foam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I have to go over this thread again. I must have missed a couple of pictures describing the final, final polish to see the gold or red pad somewhere.

Honestly Todd, you can finish with a MF pad?

This is true. I finished the hard Audi paint with a MF finishing pad. I did try foam to compare but it made zero difference in the outcome and the MF was working much faster. How have you been?

Thanks todd I've never used Meguiar's M34 Final Inspection. So it can be used like an IPA wipe?

Not really like IPA. I have seen it remove some oils before, but that is not the intended role. It is a super gentle product that is perfect for removing dust or smudges with out leaving anything behind (on the surface) that could interfere with polishing/waxing/sealing.
 
The 'behind-the-scene's' products used were BLACKFIRE All N One All Purpose Cleaner and BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Instant Carnauba Detailer.
