Default Guess what I got in the mail yesterday...

1st box I opened contained a good size bottle of Black Fire Wet diamond. This by far is my favorite Wax. I've been wanting to get ahold of it for a while now. Its a heck of a high end wax. I cant wait to use it:clap:


2nd box contained My car cover I've been waiting for. Finally went ahead and got the 300.00 spandex car cover I was talking about.
I love this Cover.Well worth every Penny.

It has a nice tight fit.



The cover company said they would put the camaro lettering on the cover,but couldn't put the SS logo on it for some reason. So I told them to send me a blank cover and I did this myself. what do you guys think?


even did the bag

Thanks guys. Trust me I also didnt want to spend over 150.00 for a cover. I just had the car repainted last summer. I have around 4K into the paint.So what's another 300.00 to protect it all...
this cover is awsome. well worth the money. its spandex like and has a soft microfiber style fabric in the underside.

I used thermoflex. Its a vinyl that goes on shirts and fabrics. the same material Slp uses on their cover.

Awesome cover! Oh and the Blackfire is a sealant, not a wax. But that stuff is amazing. Its been my fav for a while. Goes on and off easier than anything else I've used and it looks great.

I read on a few other forums guys loving the results,but they were complaining on how it stains their pads an its hard to remove from the pads. any input on that? Have you used chemical guys jetseal109 yet? if you havent you should look into it. its a real nice selant.

Yeah, but I think Blackfire outshines it and is easier.

The key to the pads with BFWD is to clean them immediately, while they are still wet. Take a clean MF and use it to push all the product out of the pad. My nice LC Kompressor gold pad still looks brand new and I've used it on like 25 cars now. The last one, I wasn't cleaning it this way and it built up and looks nasty. Just squeeze all the product out with a MF and you should be fine.

cool thanks. I've also seen how some guys layer another wax over the WD. do you usually have the WD as your last step or layer too? I know its a personal preference and its really not necessary. I just like to see what others do. thanks again for the hook up on the discount coupon.


here are some shots of a Z28 I did last week with the 105/205 +jetseal 109




But I cant wait to use BFWD. here are a few nice shots I found online.
