Blackfire

I haven't tried all the stuff but I can say that Blackfire is the BEST polish and wax I have ever used on a black car.

2 days ago I polished with McGuires. The Blackfire polish and wax came in the mail today. When I put on the polish I could see a noticeable loss of haze(although I hadn't noticed the haze after the McGuires--it was only noticeable when I polished with the Blackfire.

The stuff goes on pretty easy too. I tried micro fiber at first then gave up. 100% cotton fieldcrest towels worked a lot better.

Don't have a pic yet but I'll get one on Saturday and post. (Naturally I'll lightly dust first).

OK. If I can get this pic to work this is the morning after Blackfire. I polished and waxed with Blackfire. Would it help the depth of shine to wax again?

Yes, it's Obsidian black. Has tiny flakes of silver but you really can only see them when the light is right on them, otherwise it looks black.
