Blackfire vs Sapphire Black e90 330i msport

This week I washed my car properly for the very first time. Process was:

1. Wash twice with snow foam using a karcher pressure washer and 'autobrite' foam lance. Second lot of foam was agitated with wash mit before rinsing.

2. Meguairs clay and quick detailer

3. Wash again with snow foam

4. One coat of Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish

5. Two coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection

The Blackfire stuff is superb on Sapphire Black Metallic.

The idea is to first coat the entire car in snowfoam and leave it for 5 mins before rinsing. The foam softens and pulls off most of the dirt without you even touching the paint.

Then you foam it again and this time agitate with a wash mit to take off any stubborn dirt before rinsing.

I then had to wash it a third time to get rid of the clar bar residue before polishing.
