    Blackfire after 1st wash

    I just recently detailed my brother's Topaz Blue 3-series coupe with BF (3 coats) and was very pleased with the results, especially since I had used the BF before and got the technique refined a little more. Anyway, the car was quite dirty after a week, and was in need of a good wash. So I...

    exhaust help

    What are your favorite TV shows

    I just thought I'd let Terry know that we have experienced BF loosing slickness after circa 2-3 washes. Thankfully, the slickness losss has little to do with the durability of BF acording to the chemists. Now understand that while Terry does have an obligation to promote his product, he is the...
