I have a white 2010 Ford F-150 and put down a couple of layers of Chemical Guys V-7 over clean paint and came away with a very bright glass like finish. I thought that I could have a more durable base coat of sealant and then top with V_7 and still have the same shine....I stripped the truck and...

I have about half a bottle of Blackfire Deep Gloss Spray ( BDGS) and am curious how much difference there is between it and the Blackfire Wet Diamond Polymer Spray ( BFWDPS) or have they just changed the name? I don't have any complaints with the BDGS but I am going to do my wife's car next week...

After polishing with BF Gloss Enhancing Polish, should I do an IPA wipe down to remove any oils that might be left behind before applying the sealant?

I know this is detailing 101 but It's been a while since a full detail and I forgot. I am going to do the full prep job and will be polishing with Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish before applying a sealant. When do I do a IPA wipe down OR do I? I thought the IPA wipe down removes any left over...

Detailed the wife's car three weeks ago. Used CG V-7 spray sealant and topped with Optimum spray wax. However the new Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Spray sealant came out afterward and I've got an eight ounce bottle on the way and I'd like to try it going into winter. My question is...can I apply...

We have BF All Finish Paint Protection and we have BR Crystal Seal. Looks like they both do the same thing other than the Crystal Seal cures faster...is that it?

I am trying to compare ,on paper, Pinnacle Souveran spray wax and Optimum spray wax. I have noticed that wax products all will say something like "Highest concentration of carnauba wax available" OR "A special blend of such and such" The people that write this stuff should be making big money...

Ok...we have had discussions comparing Blackfire Polymer spray and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant but I am wondering how you think Chemical Guys V-7 Optical High Gloss spray sealant would compare to these two. In previous post both Blackfire and Wolfgang received favorable comments but it...

Since BF Crystal Seal (BFCS) is fairly new, does anyone have experience with both. Both Opti Seal and BFCS are "wipe on and walk away". I have used Opti-Seal but not the BFCS. Just wondering?

I need some objective opinions from those that have used both of these spray waxes. I am just about out of both of these and am undecided which looks better or which to order. Let me tell you it's hard to make comparison when you are working on a white Ford truck and a "White Sand Triple Coat"...

Based on past post I have always been of the understanding that, you either couldn't or shouldn't apply sealant over a wax. Now we have spray sealants such as BF Deep Gloss Spray and Wolfgang Gloss Spritz Sealant as well as spray waxes that have sealant in them such as Optimum Car Wax, Aqua Wax...

In my arsenal I have Blackfire Deep Gloss Spray and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant. I am using these as a touch up after washing but not sure which is better. Also the BF spray has been changed to a new formula but don't know how it would stack up. I think the Wolfgang looks better but I am...

I have used Chemical Guys Citrus Wash as a stripping awash prior to clay. Afterward I washed with it again. I have a 2010 Ford truck and the paint is in excellent shape and after this process I am amazed at the finish left behind, so much so that I got to thinking....What am I gaining by...

I have always taped off my vehicles before using wax or polish in order to keep the white residue off the trim areas. I've got some TPNS coming in and since it claims "zero dusting" will it still be necessary to tape off or will it also stain the trim? I'm still going to tape off the metal name...

OK...I know this info is somewhere but I'll ask anyway. I keep a bucket of water with Snappy Clean pad cleaner in it and when the pads get dirty, I drop them into the bucket to soak. Later I take them to the kitchen and clean them with Dawn and rinse well. I have had good success washing my...

Sorry for all the abbreviations but my question is short. Can you top TPNS with Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection, will it adhear and is there any benefit to doing so? Also how long to wait before topping? Thanks

I don't run a detail shop and only do our two vehicles and my daughter's car and the son-in law's car ( when they have time for it.) I am in no way an expert but have a fair understanding of the basic processes. I have to say that I am always asked how I get our vehicles so shinny. NOW having...

I'll admit to being ignorant...at least about this and come to think of it, about a lot of things. Seems like a lot of products are now saying stuff like "Nano emulsified...Nano fortified??" Nano this, Nano that etc. What does that all mean and or relevant to waxes? :cool:

A friend of mine has some Clear Coat Solutions Inc. (CSI) Q-7 spray wax. I am happy using what I have but curious about this stuff. Says it's a spray on, wipe off nano emulsified wax. It goes on to say among other things "For use by professionals...not intended for sale to the public...not for...

I was washing my wife's car and after I dry, I usually go over it with a spray wax. My neighbor came over with some Turtle "ICE" spray wax. It says it is a "Synthetic" wax with carnauba and synthetic polymers. Haven't the foggiest idea what all that means but I tried it on a couple of panels and...
