Default Blackfire All finish versus Wax finish....

I've noticed a few posts saying that they feel the BF wax doesn't enhance the finish at all so I thought I would post up a pic of the BF synthetic protection next to one which has the wax on over the top...

I think the synthetic finish gives better reflection but prefer the wax all round (maybe because I'm a bit old school!)... It gives the car a liquid look...

Unfortuantely, one pic is in sunnier conditions so not a direct comparison but you get the idea.....

BF All finish Paint Protection only...



With the wax over the top..



I've just purchased some of the new Midnight BF wax so will get some pics up of that when it gets it's monthly wax!

Exactly what I reckon. For maximum reflectivity stick to just the sealant, but for maximum wetness go with the wax. Using the wax over the sealant does seem to produce a more reflective look than using just the wax on its own.
