My friend and co-worker who I'm trying to convert to Autopian standards:D, recently ordered a Blackfire kit for his white Z71 Chevy with gold trim. I thought for a white truck it would be a good choice, I would have normally recommended Zaino but I thought I would like to see something different :o . Since white is one of those colors that is hard to get a pop out of I think Zaino would look good but he needs some paint prep so the Blackfire and polish combo would be right up his alley, and some Scratch X for any thing the BF polish can't get. I was thinkin I could give him some S100 to top it do you think it would make any difference? Thanks
 
I had good luck with this combo when BF first came out, in late 2001. I think there are a few people around now who are doing this combo. It should work well although I'm not sure how good the results will be on white. Do a side by side and see which one you guys like best.
 
Thanks Bret I'm thinkin the same the blackfire by itself might be the best it can get on white but I think the side by side is worth a shot Thanks:up
 
If this co-worker isn't a car care fanatic (yet ;)) I wouldn't confuse the issue at this point by introducing S100. BF was designed to give a carnauba-like look anyway, so it may make a difference, but I doubt that it's worth it at this point.



My personal tilt on this is that while a kit like this makes a nice gift, a truly "Autopian" type gift would be a set of polishes with MFs, applicators, and a set of instructions. :)

The cool thing is it came with a basic polish from the BF line a set MF pads and a couple MF towels. I got him to order some of Zaino's leather care and tire dressing which is awesome stuff and a good tire ands wheel cleaner cause he was using that harsh sprayon hose off stuff so I think I got him set up right:) :up . Now if I can get him on this site I'm sure his checking account could shrink even further:D ! Yeah good call I don't want to throw something else in the mix with the S100. I gotta to remember baby steps, but I get so enthusiastic about car care and products and technique when I start talkin to other people!:p Man if my wife only knew how deep my detailing obsession goes she'd send me to therapy. Hi my name is Zach and I'm a detailaholic. "HI ZACH";)

I am really interested in the side by side results, I have been considering using this combo on my car. I have used BF only on her since purchase, but looking to try new stuff since I found you all here.....adding to my madnezz....
