If you've been paying close attention to the Autopia Store, you're well aware that new products and product lines are being added weekly. We pay close attention to what our customers have been asking for, and we try to deliver as much as we can. We're always on the look out for the latest and greatest detailing products available, and through the month of August, we've acquired quite a few. Check 'em out, and if you see anything missing, be sure to take a look at the What's New Page.






Blackfire Midnight Sun Paste Wax Kit

Blackfire, the line of car care products that Autopians just can't get enough of. I don't blame you guys, because I've personally tried every Blackfire product and haven't been let down yet. To make application easier of the vaunted Midnight Sun Carnauba Paste Wax, we've created a kit that includes a few essential items. The Blackfire Midnight Sun Paste Wax Kit includes the Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Paste Wax, a couple high quality microfiber towels, and a Lake Country Gold CCS Euro Applicator. The Gold Euro CCS Applicator makes application of the Midnight Sun a breeze. Besides being made of the softest foam Lake Country manufactures, it's ergonomically designed so there is virtually no fatigue on the user. The included microfiber towels makes removal of the wax effortless. With the Blackfire Midnight Sun Paste Wax Kit, you're one step closer to becoming a Blackfire addict. :drool:






Wheel Woolies 3-Piece Kit

In a recent review, Wheel Woolies Rock!, I didn't hesitate to share my thoughts on how the Wheel Woolies make cleaning wheels easier. They're easy to use, durable, and perform flawlessly in their intended use. They also work great for cleaning door jambs, exhaust tips, grille slots, and so on. You will find a million and one uses for all three sizes of the Wheel Woolies.







Leatherique 32oz Kit

If you've ever researched leather care or leather restoration, more than likely you've heard of Leatherique. Leatherique manufactures a complete line of leather care products, although their two most popular products are Pristine Clean and Rejuvenator Oil. When these two products are used in conjunction with each other, you can restore leather that you previously thought was meant for the trash. To ensure excellent results of the Pristine Clean and Rejuvenaor Oil, we've bundled them together in a kit that includes a few essential items to make application easier. Whether you're looking to restore or protect the delicate leather surfaces in your vehicle, give the leather the treatment and care it deserves with Leatherique Kit.







Finish Kare 425 Extra Slick Final Body Shine

The complete line of Finish Kare products was recently added to the Autopia Store. While Finish Kare manufactures a complete line of world-class products that are well known among professional detailers, their most popular offering by far is the 425 Extra Slick Final Body Shine. This product is a necessity if your vehicle is on the show car circuit and you need something quick and easy to remove light dust and finger prints while enhancing the shine. Known for its slickness and ease of use, Finish Kare 425 Extra Slick Final Body Shine is what some consider the last quick detailer you will ever purchase.






Large Natural Sea Sponge

So you've been frantically searching the Autopia Store for hours, trying to find the perfect wash media to compliment your new 5-gallon bucket and Blackfire Gloss Shampoo. No need to search any longer, the answer you've been looking for is here. It's called the Natural Sea Sponge. It's large, super soft, and holds a TON of soapy water. The Natural Sea Sponge is an essential tool for safe, swirl free washing. Because it's a natural product from the ocean floor, it's built for the long haul and will last wash after wash. Give your vehicle's delicate finish the pampering it deserves with the Large Natural Sea Sponge.

All of the cool, exciting products you see above is just the start. You can view everything that's new on the What's New page and stay up to date on all the newest additions to the Autopia Store.

I was just looking at the new products listing and was wondering how the natural sea sponge stacks up against the other car wash products (Wookie, sheepskin, chenille, etc.). Anyone?

:thought:
 
you're one step closer to becoming a Blackfire addict.

I'm getting closer. I just ordered Blackfire Deep Gloss Spray Sealant to add to BFWD. Now I really want that Midnight Sun to go along with them!

I can't speak specifically about the sponge sold in the Autopia store, but IMO the sea sponges I'm familiar with easily edge out chenille and sheepskin wash products. There are some precautions to take before you first put the new sponge into service, but you will be well rewarded.
 
All natural sea sponges go through a very rigorous cleaning process after they are unloaded from the sponge boats at the docks in Tarpon Springs Florida, but always remember you’ll want to rinse them very well before use to remove sand or any other abrasives that may be trapped in them when you get them. Once you rinsed thoroughly, you can’t beat the quality of these sponges when washing a vehicle.
 
The Sea Sponges are awesome, and have been a personal favorite of mine for quite some time.

They also work great on wheels too.

As Angelo said, you will want to rinse a natural sea-sponge out in a bucket of water prior to putting it in use. I don't know how to explain it, but when you rinse one out for the first time you can 'smell the ocean' and you will see a lot of sand/grit/salt/shells come out. Dump that bucket of water and repeat (usually 1-2 more times) until the rinse water is clean.

I love natural sea sponges and I am convinced that there is nothing softer.
