Default Anyone tried BlackFire - also need general advice.

Has anyone tried BlackFire ?? If so, how does it compare to Zaino? One of the main reason I am looking into it, it that I can purchase it semi-locally. Any other products out there worth looking into?
I would like to put some paint protection on the car ASAP due to it only being a week old. I was also told by a friend of mine in Houston that Zaino could take up to a month for delivery - is this true?

Try a search at the site below. The reviews so far have been mixed.

It's the Autopian Car Care web site.

Just buy Z5 + ZFX (from Zaino)... 1 step (of course, you need to dawn the car to remove the old crap-- which you need to do if you use Blackfire also)... but basically Z5+ZFX (you mix them togeather), and apply..and wipe off. Easy as that... 1 step to a protected shiny car. Blackfire is 2 step..and personally, I don't care for it.

Thanks for the input ... one more question. Do I really need to Clay the car if it is new?

Thanks

Claying is not required, but at least on my S2000, there was quite a bit of contamination in the paint right off the truck. Most of the contamination was on the top part of the front bumper and on the top part of the rear bumper.

I read someplace that it usually grit that is picked up during rail transport. Most of the contamination on my car, when it was new, was on the parts of the paint that were not covered by paper during transportation.
