BLACKFIRE One-Step Cleaner/Wax Review & Guide

BLACKFIRE One Step Review & Guide.

I've only used the product for one section and that was to do my Test Spot. I'll update this post later today with my final thoughts after buffing out this entire car. Until then... like the saying goes...

A picture tells a thousand words...

Here's my test car, it's an old swirled-out 2-door Chevy

In case you can't tell - this is the before shot

Before using BLACKFIRE One Step.

This is the after shot - the little dots you see are not defects - they are gold metallic flakes in the paint

This was after 8 section passes using the Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher with a 6.5" Griot's Orange BOSS Foam Cutting Pad on speed 6

After using BLACKFIRE One Step with machine polisher.

Before This is the paint above my Test Spot. Note I've turned the overhead lights off to get rid of the their reflection on the panel. That's why you see a color change in the paint. At this point the light shining down is just the SCANGRIP Sunmatch Swirl Finder Light.

Moving down the panel towards my tape-line

Using a swirl finder light is the best bet for finding paint imperfections.

Comment

The finish literally looks like I spend all day compounding, polishing and then waxing. Truth is I buffed this out in less than 3 hours from start to finish!

The product I used is the new BLACKFIRE One Step and it is hands-down the best one step cleaner/wax I've ever used.

Review

NO MICRO-MARRING even on black paint. That's hard to do with most one-step cleaner/waxes.

SUPER LONG BUFFING CYCLE - You can buff till the cows come home. It stays liquid as long as you keep move the pad over the paint.

ZERO DUSTING - You the kind of guy that hates dusting? Complain about products that do everytime you get a chance? Then here's your new favorite product.

Excellent correction - I'm impressed and I'd say I'm hard to impress.

Any tool or by hand - It's a free-for-all

Final thoughts...

For your own daily drivers, your toys or if you detail professionally...

Get some.
