    Which pad combo for the boss?

    While waiting for a no exclusions sale (COME ON Autopia, I have Christmas money waiting to be spent) so I can order a Boss polisher kit, I`m trying to decide on a good combination of the Griots boss pads. I have plenty of soft LSP pads so I`m primarily interested in correction and polishing...

    Local cruse/show......Ronkh`s shadow looms large

    Attended a local VFW show/cruise sponsored by the WNY Corvette club. C7 class was taken by a chrome wheeled/white Z06. I swear Ron drove all the way up from Florida just to show me how its done. ;) On a side note, just a little shoutout to Blackfire. My car has been in my buddies shop for a few...

    First try with Collinite 845

    I figured I'd give 845 a try on my dd, a '06 Gran Cherokee. I'm looking for protection from the harsh WNY winters and from what I've read, 845 looks like a good choice. Recently I've read a few reports of hazing and difficulty removing but I experienced none of that. I used my GG DA with a 5.5...

    Heavy duty wheel detail

    When I ordered my car I spent the extra for the chrome wheel option. Imagine my disappointment when I got the car and found just the face was chrome and the whole inner barrel was a grey paint. Well, fast forward to a few weeks ago a gentleman on the corvette forum posted a thread showing that...

    Washing microfiber towels ?

    I just picked up a bottle of dedicated microfiber "restore" detergent and I was wondering if you use it in addition to your laundry soap or as a stand alone when washing your towels?

    Blackfire redo

    My girlfriend purchased her black '14 Rav4 in July at which time I gave it the whole treatment with BF polish and seal, wet diamond and CS. I've kept up on the finish with weekly rinse less washes and it still looks fantastic. (sadly it puts my C7's black paint to shame). Car is garage kept...

    First rinse less wash

    Old hose habits are hard to break but this morning I used some Bfwd Rinseless wash on my black c7 and I can't believe how easy it was and how nice the results are. I'm now a convert. Now I'll admit the car was not filthy. Just a lot of dust from a stone driveway from yesterday but unless the...

    BF Crystal Seal on Chrome wheels

    Trying to avoid having to buy another product. For those of you who have tried BFCS on Chrome wheels, how did it hold up/perform as far as protection and making them easier to clean? Thanks!

    Mini Cooper stripes

    Hey Everyone, I was going to give my Sister-inlaw's black mini cooper a polish job using a DA polisher and Blackfire TPS. My concern is the hood stripes look like decals to me, not paint. Should I tape these off or do you think a light polish will be fine. Thanks.
