currently here's my lineup.

Wash
clay
BF SRC POLISH (white pad)
BF Wet diamond(black pad)
and use
bF polymer spray for after car wash in between.

Using a DA polisher with black and white pad.

What is next thing i should add or replace in my lineup? This is addicting!
 
I would add some other pads (cyan and tangerine hydrotechs) and a good compound for heavier jobs. BF compound, Meguiars 105, and Menzerna are all good products. I will be trying HD Cut and Adapt some tomorrow so I can let you know how it works out!
 
I just used Adapt for the first time yesterday. I know this forum isn't too big on HD products, so Ill just say mind = blown and leave it at that. My only suggestion to the OP is topping the BFWD with Midnight Sun. If your goal is over the top gloss, that combo is hard to beat.
 
so the midnight sun goes on top of the wet diamond?

Could I still use the polymer spray between waxes when i just wash it?
 
Yes you just have to wait long enough for the sealant to cure before applying wax on top. I'm sure Todd can tell you exactly how long to wait, but generally I wait 12 - 24 hours.
 
You want more bling? Go over the car with and ultra fine polish and finishing pad. LSPs and glazes will only add temporary bling.

+1

Menz 4500 on a finishing pad or equivalent, then a gloss enhancing glaze, then LSP. I love Wet Glaze 2.0 and bought a case before they stopped manufacturing. It is my go to for right before a car show. Makes the paint look dripping wet and last a long time for a glaze.
 
What about using the WD polymer spray on top of BFWD (instead of Midnight Sun?? Wouldn't this give it more "shine"?

have you tried it and got noticeable good results?

also I guess I will use the black pad for the midnight?

If you want to apply Midnight Sun by machine, a black (or softer) pad will work. However, Midnight Sun is a wipe on/wipe off (WOWO) wax, which mean you remove it wet. Because of that, I really prefer hand application.

Yes it will give it a boost in shine, as Wet Diamond Polymer Spray has a a high concentration of Wet Diamond Polymers (the same protective ingredients in the sealant), so it will highlight the shine.

Midnigth Sun is a carnauba wax, so it will give a carnauba depth to the paint, which on top of the already reflective Wet Diamond shine, creates an a truly 3D effect known as Wet-Ice over Fire!

Yes. You can use BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Polymer Spray on top of any carnauba wax, however...

BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun was originally developed to "stick" to the super-slick surface created by the Wet Diamond paint sealant. If you use Polymer Spray to wipe a carnauba (other than Midnight Sun) that has been applied over Wet Diamond paint sealant, you could remove some it...
