psynx...that's white?! that is surreal...

Sidenote, PC orbital should not be an issue to apply wax or sealant. You don't need to turn it to 5 to put on or take off the excess. I've noticed that with a clean microfiber cloth under the pad on 1 or 2 does the waxing/sealing just fine and saves you a ton of hand work.

yup thats white, and also you are correct with a DA speed 2 would probably be the max to apply sealant or wax otherwise too much heat will be created. also no pressure at all let the weight of the machine to the work


if you dont believe me that its white lol

No link to more pics but here is a couple more from that weekend. And yes, I like to make white "pop"




This was with M205, followed by Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze, Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant, and Dodo Juice Purple Haze.
OP, make sure you post some pics

i was unaware there was two version of BFWD....can you post a link? I cant find it anywhere
never used the blue velvet, currently using the dodo juice supernatural now. ....I do think I need to find something other than BFWD for my climate, it collects dust WAY too much. My car looks like I drove down a gravel road after only 5 minutes.

thanks for the added pics sillyboybmxer, that looks awesome.

I don't have an issue with dust and blackfire sealant, I was actually amazed how little dust I had after driving my car for over a week on winter salt dusted roads this spring, the dust was blowing off the car while driving. I have seen dusting issues with Zaino spray sealant creating an electrostatic effect.

I stripped the car, clay barred, polished and buffed with my orbital, then sealed last weekend. I just finished putting on the wax today. Pretty happy with my results. I think if I would have used a two step polish it would be even better, but Im happy for my first time doing more than a wash and wax.

BTW, Trix works very well at stripping the car down. Its smells like total ish, but works well.
