Default Blackfire anyone?

I hope you guys could help me out. I am considering getting Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish (with Glaze fillers), has anyone used this product? Good/Bad/Indifferent.

I am going to wash, clay, glaze, seal, wax. I would definitly like to use menzerna polishes but i do not own an orbital (heard blackfire uses menzerna polishes within their glaze???), so I am looking for a product to apply by hand. My goal is to remove/cover some light swirls on a black car.

Any other recomendations for my need? thanks!!!

Use a sample from a friend and the durability was about 4 weeks at most.

The blackfire will probably compromise the durability of the EX, but I can't say for sure since I haven't used them together. I use it under waxes only and like it a lot.

Picus hit on where I was going i.e. your sealant may not agree totally with the BlackFire. Like Picus I haven't used that combo but you might contact Poorboy's and ask just in case you are committed to using the PB EX-P.

If you want to skip the EX-P and go straight to the Natty's Blue you might be better off but you'll trade off some durability for compatability.

Just my thoughts so take them for what they are worth - no experience with BlackFire but have used EX-P and NBP.

The Gloss Enhancing Polish is AWESOME! I use it as the final step on uncured paints and it looks great. I also use it as the last machine step before either hand glaze or wax/sealant. It has about half the cutting power as the Menzerna Final Polish II.
