Default Blackfire on Crystal Grey...Great results

Today Mac (john) fitted my new brakes for me…so whilst he did that I gave his car a clean.

First of all I foamed it with snow foam (I think) and washed it down with black diamond wash.

Then clayed with Meg’s Quick Clay (not much needed)

After this I started to polish using Menzerna Intensive but the panels were getting too hot in the sun so I abandoned it after the second panel

Then moved onto the Black Diamond Polish and a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection.

Used Lake Country German CCS Pads for the polish and LSP

I must admit I am really pleased with the results of Black Diamond on Crystal Grey and as a result I’m going to try it on mine.

The results:



























All in all a good clean I think and the reflections were pin sharp

Definately my favourite new age Impreza

Hope you like it

Thanks for your comments

I will get some more pics up this weekend after I have given it another clean.

I have also swapped my rear clusters for a set of Blobeye ones. I think they are a lot better suited than the Hawkeye ones!

Looks very nice, great work! I'd usually have said Werkstat Acrylic first and foremost for that colour, but the Blackfire does look very nice indeed!
