Default which is best

thinking of changing my car care range to either the Blackfire range or the Jeffs acrylic kit.... have the read the pb advice guides on how to use, but not sure which one will give the best results?

paintwork is sonic blue? think thats it... and i have no machine polisher just jars of elbow grease to use

I'm WR Blue and use blackfire, it gives a superb deep wet look. Use the sealant and finish off with the wax

it's not a question really of which is better but a case of the look that they give. this is wr blue with werkstatt acrylic



this is blackfire on wr blue.

Exactly! Both are great systems, but for me the Werkstat gives a sharper wetter look with more flake pop, while the Blackfire gives more richness and gloss. Always a tough choice between these two on Sonic Blue...

hmmm...both look like they give great finishes to me, still a bit undecided...the jeffs kit seems better value, but I prefer the wetness you get with the blackfire

Im assuming both will offer the same sort of levels of protection?

thanks for the replies

Aye, not a lot in it in terms of durability; both systems will give 3-4 months from a basic two coat application, and if you top them up every 3 months or so anyway the durability issue goes out the window and it boils back down to the looks!
