After I put that combo on my car my girlfriend says to me "It looks like there's swarovski crystal dust all over the car!!"

Hey Aaron - how would you say the Blackfire stuff compares to RBOE on looks? Strictly looks. I know RBOE is a hassle to use, so ease of use isn't a fair fight.

RBOE and Blackfire give two completely different looks. On a Space Grey M6 I did about 2 months ago.. I applied two layers of RBOE. It the sun it gave better flake pop than SW Concorso did on my Chicane. But the depth was pretty insane. I would say it gave it the same depth/wetness as a dark blue (in a medium grey metallic!).

Now, the Blackfire combo gives INCREDIBLE flake pop.. but the wetness is only matched the the SW Concorso, but the flake pop is way better. It's not nearly as slick as Concorso or RBOE to the touch.. but it gives a "soft" feeling to the paint, where Concorso and RBOE give a feeling like ice.

I hope that explains it a little bit.. kind of hard to put in to words what my mind sees

That does help. My question was probably a silly one, come to think of it. Everything looks different depending on the color it's put on top of. But yeah, there's not much I've seen that gives better depth than RBOE. It looks like I could stick my hand right through my Silverstone.

That deal properautocare.com is running with the $20 "Cash for Wax" offer is really interesting. I've got a nearly used up pot of Swissvax Autobahn, I wonder if they'd take that. It's a tiny little pot, and I was never real satisfied with Autobahn anyway.

ooo I didn't know about that! Too bad I use all my waxes.. except Autbahn. I agree it's a waste

Why do you think Autobahn is a waste if you guys dont mind me asking?

I have never used it, so I was just curious.

krshultz

My opinion. First of all, it does nothing for the look of the wheels that an eight dollar bottle of DG Aquawax can't do. For the money, the amount of product you get is shockingly small, even by SW standards. And, since the durability of Autobahn is so poor, I went through a jar rather quickly.

ah, ok. understandable. I guess I'll stick to putting 105 on my wheels

Wow, good to know. I used it over Klasse AIO and it looked good but certainly no better than Sovereign or P21S as a top coat. I will definitely have to try the AFPP first next time.
