Default I want a brilliant shine??

Right folks, i want to get my car looking really clean and shiney for this summer, now i`ve read lots of posts and i`m all over the place with people,s comments on various wax etc. The paint work is in very good condition as it is, i,d just like to get the best out of it.

What would you recommend as a good wax to bring out the perfect shine please???

hi there. i have a sonic blue classic and have just used the blackfire range on it. gloss enhancing polish, wet diamond sealant and wax. it gave a great wet looking finish.

Looks great, nice work. This one has been brought up time and time again for WR Blue (presuming that's what you have), bear with me, I'll rake up previous advice...

Well, two choices spring to mind for WR Blue. The first is the Blackfire system for a really wet, glossy look like this...





Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish
Ultimate German Applicator Pad
Poorboy's Deluxe Mega Towel

then

Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection
Ultimate German Applicator Pad
Poorboy's Deluxe Mega Towel

...or the Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic system for a more reflective, shiny look with more flake pop when the sun is out, like this...





JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic Kit

Hope that helps, any questions fire away!

Think I might have a go at some of products, results look fantastic.

My usual regime is Meguiars, clay bar, cleanse and polish. Which of the Blackfire/ Werkstatt range is equivalent to the cleanser ?

WR Blue car BTW.

Cheers

Blackfire have produced their own wax, available from polishedbliss, that bonds perfectly to it.i used a coat of this first and then layered Victorias concours over the top. lovely finish.

Yes, if you like the Blackfire look then Gloss Enhancing Polish topped with Wet Diamond is the basic system which looks great, but you can top this with the Blackfire Wax for even more wetness if you fancy,
