Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection is what I used. I first applied Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0,I then topped with the Blackfire. This product is so easy to apply and remove, One of the slickest finishes I have ever felt,seen.

Default wolfgang with blackfire

I have a silver vette and silver caddy and have been using wolfgang products. The paint on both is very good. I would like to do the following:

1, clay
2. wolfgang paintwork polish enhancer
3. wolfgang finishing glaze
4. Blackfire wet diamond all finish sealant
5. wolfgang fusion wax


Is this the correct order and do you reccomend these?

Looks correct to me. I did steps 2,3,4 but I went from DODO Juice in step #4 which I liked to the Blackfire which I Really liked. I would imagine that step #5 The Fusion wax would possibly give it that little extra WOW Factor.

Excellent choice of products. However, if you are using Finishing Glaze 3.0, you do not need to use Paintwork Polish Enhancer. FG 3.0 will do everything PPE does and then some (clean AND lightly polish to a high gloss). I would Clay, FG 3.0, Blackfire, and top with Fuzion 12-24 hours later.

one is indeed a paint cleanser the other a polish, really dont need both but if desired it would be in reverse order.

As far as durability, I've had it on my vette over a year and still nothing will stick to it.

Tried the Zaino process several times and then tried Blackfire Wet Diamond. All I use now is Blackfire....easy application...easy removal and shines as good as Zaino and not nearly as tempermental!

The Blackfire Spray Sealant is just as nice as the Z8 Spray also .... seems like a win-win for those now using the sealant for in-between booster.

Does Blackfire seem to care which prep product you use as far as bonding goes? I like to use PB Black Hole Glaze prior to my old sealant (PB EX-P) but I've been tempted to switch sealants after seeing such great slick/wet results with the Blackfire

you will be fine, have heard of no compatibility issues between the two. Many love the Poorboys glazes as they are sealant compatible, and Blackfire should just add to it with even greater good looks.

For me, I found Black Diamond was the easiest to apply AND remove.

I like to use the BFWD Sealant as a base and top it with Collinite 845 for my winter coat Looks good and very durable. Lasts all winter long.

Blackfire says it can be topped with wax, doesn't say what brands, so I assume it will be fine.

That said, I've topped Blackfire with Megs. wax and a few others, can't see a difference or any improvement, so IMHO, no need to do anything over it.

Correct the paint, apply Blackfire and enjoy, your done.

It can indeed be topped as desired, the obvious choice would be Blackfire Midnight Sun its carnauba based counterpart. No matter the choice in wax topper, just make sure its a pure nuba wax with no appreciable cleaners or polishes. Pinnacle, Dodo, and others exist too.

I just polished, sealed with Black Fire and topped it off with Pinnacle Souveran wax and it looks fantastic. The sealant gives the car the sharp, shiny look, and the carnuba on top gives it that wet, soft glow. Love it.

Thanks.
There are so many to choose from it's hard to know which product works best with what.
