I put a coat of bfwd on my car two weeks ago and I think im gonna put another coat on it soon. How many layers is adequate with this stuff? Its not that hard to use so I dont mind putting on more layers.



Also, what would be a better maintenance product for after washes, fk425 or ocw? fk425 would be good because the bfwd attracts so much dust but ocw sounds so easy to add a layer of wax.



Has anybody tried any of these combos?
 
I personally like the CG Butterwet wax over BFWD. Another combo which I just tried today is the BFWD with Pinnacle Souveran over it. Here is a picture of my Acura TL with the BFWD topped with Pinnacle. I think there is some nice gloss to it considering it is a Pearl White.

I am pretty happy with the looks but i dont know about the durability first hand yet. I have heard that topping it with a wax will enhance the looks quite a bit. I just wonder if a wax would just mute the looks of the bfwd in which case I would probably just use the fk425 which I hear repels dust and looks pretty good on a sealant.

I used the paste.

Just curious, why do you feel the need to top it? Are you unhappy with the look or the durability?

I guess for some added protection. I think the durability of it is pretty good. Averaging one "correct car wash" per week, I was getting about 4 months out of the BFWD. Topped with CG Butterwet wax, I was getting about an extra month. I am curious to see if I will get any longer durability topped with the Souveran.



As far as muting the finish, the only wax that I topped with the BFWD that actually muted it a bit was the DoDo Juice Double Wax. I did not see any muting with the Butterwet wax or with the Souveran.

Looks great on white. I have a white Honda (tafetta white). What would you recommend as a LSP for the highest gloss. I'll be using Collinite 845 for durability.

:nixweiss I tend to just use what I think looks best and apply it as needed. If a wax would make that much difference in the looks, I'd just use it instead. I like to keep it as simple as possible.



I'd use something like Optimum Car Wax since it is fast and easy.
