BlackFire by Polished Bliss.
Wet look finish that looks amazing.
See pics of my brother's car below.
Really easy to apply and buff off. For all those serious in your cleaning, this is a MUST buy folks, shame I never heard of this last yr for Beaulie Concors..oh well.
Poor Boys is another great make for car cleaning products as well.
In fact we have jumped ship from Meguairs now and only use Poor Boys for polishing.

Not cheap, but excellent results.

Envy, yes your'll see me on the Hampshire Scooby site, its my brothers site which he started a couple of years ago for the Hamp/Dorset based Subaru ppls.
We did our Scoob with the Blackfire yesterday and it looks fantastic, can't wait to see the result on a MINI from here

Do you use this as a polish Tracie, and what processes have you used before applying the Blackfire. (pricey is ok if it works)

Yep we used this as a polish.
Go to the Polished bliss website and click on the Advice menu to the left, we just follow the advice they put on there.

We use the 2 bucket method and have loads of the microfibre cloths. Expensive to start out but the results are far better than what I was getting on the MINI using Meguairs.

Poorboys for the wash.

Hi Laura, the reason there are no pics any more is because the site software was updated, and all the pics were lost. I'll post them up again for you.

I didn't use any wax at all though. The car was first washed and dried, then clay barred. Then wiped over again with detailer, and then finished off with Blackfire's Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection.
