ABP with Blackfire shine

Hey guys, finally got around to taking some pics of my TL. I used the Blackfire kit on it. Let me know what you think.

Nice car and nice shine! Got one just like it. I am personally waiting to use the Zaino on my car, but yours has a great shine to it. Great job.

Please excuse the ignorance but what is Blackfire? From the sound of the 2nd post it must be a wax? I've never heard of it.

Thanks guys. I didn't expect my car to look this good when I got this stuff.

92NSX, Blackfire is a sealant sold at properautocare.com. I bought the whole package from them which included the shampoo, polish, sealant and quick detailer. I did the whole claybar, polish and seal procedure last weekend, and now just maintain it by washing the car and using the quick detailer.

I've read some good things about Blackfire in the Wash and Wax section of these forums and since it is cheaper than Zaino I figured I'd give it a try. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product and I have peace of mind knowing that my car is protected from the elements.

Currently I only have one coat of the Blackfire sealant on (unlike some Zaino enthusiasts that apply coats into the teens) but I might experiment with adding a layer of carnauba wax and then another layer of the sealant.

Carnauba waxes and synthetic waxes don't mix. You're likely to wind up with a
haze on the finish that you just can't get rid of without stripping at least
the carnauba.
That's what I've read anyway. I could be wrong. But once I've Zaino'd
a vehicle, it's Zaino for life. This Blackfire stuff probably works the same way.


btw, your car looks FANTASTIC as is.
Favorite colour next to my own, Anthracite.

What about Perma Plate?? I had the dealer seal the car. Looks great and has a 5 year warranty.
Anyone had this done?
