    A little help from Blackfire users please

    I'm finally getting around to getting to work on the black Audi. (I must say that the durability of the 845 maintained by UQD lessened the urgency of it.) Anyways, after a bit of research, I ordered the Gloss Enhancing Polish and the Wet Diamond All-Finish Paint Protection. My question is...

    M205/Black Audi question

    I'm getting ready to work on my 2009 black Audi following the winter. There are some light swirls and fine scratches that I would like to polish out. (Most likely from poor technique while washing the car this winter in the unheated garage.) I have some 205, which I plan to use with a white...

    845 and the rains

    I've been waiting for a break in the weather (its been cold and rainy) to apply 845. This afternoon is supposed to be nice (partly cloudy, in the 70s). However, rain is predicted for tomorrow. If I wax the car this afternoon, I may have to drive in the rain approximately 12hours later...

    Winterizing w/ 845

    Even though its barely August, I'm already starting to think about getting my 2009 black Audi ready for the sometimes harsh Michigan winter. I use Zaino products. I use Z6/Z8 pretty much every week. After perusing this site, it seems like 845 is the way to go for the winter. (Open to...

    Thank you to everyone at this site

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this (or at least some of this.) I apologize in advance if it isn't. A little more than a year ago, I was one of those persons that took care of their car by washing their car with Armor All wash, with a sponge from the hardware store, followed up...

    The "deep black" finish???

    I'm new to detailing, having done it for only a year. My only real experience with "serious" products is Zaino, which I think is great. I have an Phantom Black Pearl Effect Audi. The shine with the Zaino is outstanding. But I have noted comments that Zaino makes black cars look too...

    How often do you paint/repair chips?

    My black Audi is nearing 3,000 miles. Its a daily driver, so it has a couple small chips on the front of the hood. Do you paint or repair chips as you find them? My thought is to wait until the spring for the first serious post-winter detail. Is that a bad idea? TIA

    Help with hot, sticky gum

    Its about 95 degrees in these parts and some @sshole spit their gum onto the ground. I stepped in it and tracked it into the car - long strings of it. Its on the body under the door, on the floor mat, the pedals and the plastic down below. What's the best way to deal with it? :grrr

    Low bling OTC tire dressing

    I need to pick up an OTC tire dressing. I performed a search of the billion or so tire dressing threads, and it appears to me that the most recommended feature the bling - AA Extreme, Meg's Insane, etc. Me no likey the bling. How about something a little more subtle, along the lines of Z-16?

    Adam's Leather & Interior Cleaner?

    I am looking for an interior cleaner to keep in the trunk in case some nefarious substance violates the interior whilst I'm on the road. Leather seats. Adam's Leather & Interior Cleaner seems to fit the bill. Good stuff? Is there better?

    Scratch Advice - delay before repair

    Hello all - noobie here, but a lurker for some time. I searched a bit, but I couldn't find an answer to part of the question. I have a new Audi with the Phantom Black Pearl Effect. I have a wonderful scratch, about 6 inches long, on the right fender, extending from the wheel well to the...
