The new Blackfire SiO2 Wheel Seal looks like a good product, but why would I use it over spray-on, walk-away Sonax Rim Shield? I`ve used and like Rim Shield. I used it every two to three weeks and didn`t have to use anything but regular car wash soap to clean my wheels. I hate not to try the...

My father-in-law bought this `93 Mercury Grand Marquis LS new, put about 135K miles on it as a traveling industrial electronics salesman, and then gave it to his parents, who are now deceased. From his parents it went to his brother for about eight to ten years. His brother wanted to sell it...

I`ve been waiting two years for this: Microfiber Madness`s Incredipole wash tool, a big Incredipad/Incredimitt on a stick. And it looks like we`ll all be waiting for six more months, as it`s slated for a Spring 2017 release. I have to fess up to being lazy. If I`d been committed to this, I...

I feel special for having been selected by Steve of Poorboys World to review a beta version of the companys upcoming microfiber cleaner solution. I picked these nasty towels for the review because theyre filthy and contain old and new nastiness. These are the microfibers I stick up in a wheel...

Dear Ray, Bob, Todd, Nick, Paul, or Any Other PBMG Person Is there any active development on the Blackfire line of products? I recall an email from many months ago, about the time the new waterless wash debuted, saying Bob had many things planned for Blackfire. I know Todd moved to RUPES, but...

Dear Friends I bought a set of three small finger pump sprayers for spraying CG Stripper Scent air freshener. Two of the three have quit working in a matter of weeks, both with the same problem. The pumps will go down but not back up. Cleaning worked for only a few strokes. I gave my original...

Dear Friends A few days ago the ground of my Master Blaster's plug broke off into my extension cord. I'm not a card-carrying DIYer, but after wiring up my son's model railroad and doing a Google search for "Repairing 3-Prong Electrical Plug," I found this YouTube video: Repairing a 3-Pronged...

Dear Friends There's nothing impressive about these images. I should have shot some in the garage because I could see a lot more reflections in there. This is really our van's second Spring '13 detail. The first time around I didn't give Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection any...

Dear Todd Does PBMG have any plans to introduce a Blackfire wax designed especially for white or light-colored vehicles?

Dear Friends Despite having spent over US$2500 on detailing supplies and tools, I still don't enjoy the actual work of detailing our cars. It's hard physical work. I do it because my wife and I spent about US$76,000 on two vehicles and I want the best possible experience in owning and driving...

Dear Friends What's the difference between a quick detailer and a waterless wash?
