Detailing Questions-Answered

What is the Black Diamond you speak of?

Sorry, meant the Blackfire Wet Diamond. It may have just been me, but I wasn't all that impressed with the finish. Obviously your car is amazing to look at so I know you have had good results with it. Mine didn't come out as I had hoped when using it.

I took my car to a local shop to get some crap out of the paint and do it up but it was not good. The first time ever I washed it all came off. Turned out they used Imperial hand glaze. When I picked it up it looked great but first wash it came off. I use Eagle1 nano and it looks good but need your shine. Seems like I need a good polish

Odd, I've never heard of anyone who tried it that didn't love it.

Polishing out all the imperfections makes one hell of a difference before you wax or seal, that's for sure.

Polish then wax then seal. That's the order ? And what works best brand wise for black. Thanks

No, polish, then seal, then wax. Sealant has to bond to the paint/clear. It can't bond if there is wax between the sealant and the finish. Don't worry, everybody thinks you seal last, it just sounds like it would make sense, lol

I suggest Black Fire Wet Diamond sealant and Natty's Blue or Red for wax. Unless you're wanting to spend an arm and a leg. Then you should listen to Nasty, and get some Souveran or some #16 if you can find it (good luck)

Just remember with the Black Fire Wet Diamond it's very important to shake it well, as with any sealant. And with both products, less is more. Use thin coats and you'll be much happier with the results.

I just bought some BFWD and AGHD. Haven't use the BFWD, but have used AGHD over Wolfgang sealant. I want to get some Menzerna polishes and Chemical guys ez-creme too. For a quick detailer, I need to get some more FK 425.
