If you use Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish (apply using a microfibre pad, buff off with plush microfibre towels), followed by Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection (apply using a foam pad, buff off with plush microfibre towels) then this is what you will get in terms of shine and gloss...

This product combination is very easy to use and relatively affordable. If you want to spend a bit less, then Poorboys Black Hole Glaze followed by Poorboys Natty's Blue Paste Wax will also yield decent results, with similar wetness but less overall reflectivity.

I used Blackfire products on my Black STI and I can vouch for how good they are.
I used the following as advised by Polished Bliss
Menzerna polish
Blackfire Gloss enhacing polish
Blackfire all finish paint protection

My old Type R...:thumb:
I just rang PolishedBliss and spoke to them... They recommended most of the blackfire range...:norty:
Worked for me and price is reasonable...:notworthy
The pics never did the car justice... I only had a 2mp phone camera

A triple pack of Poorboys Deluxe Mega Towels plus a twin pack of Meguiars Foam Pads should suffice to apply and take off the recommended products. For a good basic wash kit, look at our Basic Wash Kit and the Poorboys choice as the shampoo. If you need one to one help, phone me on Monday on 0845 4540017 and I'll happily go over everything on the phone with you to save any further head scratching, etc. :thumb:
