Blackfire Scratch Resistant Clear Finishing Polish is developed by Menzerna
and the formula is exclusive to Blackfire and offers the do-it-yourself, enthusiast
a number of advantages:
1. It will restore gloss and remove minor defects in nano, ceramic particle
clear coats.
2. It will restore gloss and remove minor defects in the new, 2006, super-hard,
scratch resistant clear coats.
3. It can be applied by hand, dual-action polisher or circular polisher. (Machine
application is required for maximum defect removal in ceramic particle clear
coats.)
We believe this to be the most advanced, consumer finishing polish currently
available. Blackfire S.R.C. Finishing Polish contains additional lubricating
oils to allow polishing longer without the fear of creating excessive haze.
Blackfire S.R.C. Finishing Polish will remove any existing wax or sealant and
burnish the finish to a mirror-like shine. Applied by machine, it will remove
3000 grit swirls, spots and scratches without hazing the finish.
Applying S.R.C. Finishing Polish by hand:
1. For best results, apply with a microfiber applicator pad.
2. Apply a quarter sized amount of polish to the pad.
3. Mist the pad once with pad lubricant or water.
4. Work on areas of 2 to 3 sq. ft., out of direct sunlight.
5. Wipe polish over surface using short, firm, strokes until polish starts to
dry.
6. Allow a haze to form.
7. Buff off residues by hand using a Microfiber Buffing Cloth.
Applying S.R.C. Finishing Polish with a dual-action, machine polisher like
Porter Cable 7336 / 7424:
1. Work on areas of 3 to 6 sq. ft., (1/2 of the hood), out of direct sunlight.
2. Apply using a white polishing pad and mist pad once with foam pad lubricant
or water.
3. Apply two, 8 inch lines of polish on the paint.
4. Using the foam pad, spread polish over the surface with the machine off.
(This coats both the pad and the surface with polish.)
5. If using the Porter Cable polisher, set the speed control between 3 and 4.
6. Place foam pad on the paint and turn the polisher on.
7. Work over the surface in a figure 8 motion until the polish starts to dry.
8. Buff off residues by hand using a microfiber buffing cloth.
Applying S.R.C. Finishing Polish with a circular, machine polisher:
1. Work on areas of 3 to 6 sq. ft., (1/2 of the hood), out of direct sunlight.
2. Apply using a white polishing pad and mist pad once with foam pad lubricant
or water.
3. Apply two, 8 inch lines of polish on the paint.
4. Using the foam pad, spread polish over the surface with the machine off.
(This coats both the pad and the surface with polish.)
5. Set the speed control at 1,000 rpm.
6. Place foam pad on the paint and turn the polisher on.
7. Work over the surface in a figure 8 motion until the paint starts to dry.
8. Buff off residues by hand using a microfiber buffing cloth.
After final buffing, open all doors, the hood and trunk and wipe body panel
edges. Mist a detail brush with a quick-detail spray or residue remover and
brush around emblems. Larger body moldings and wheel arch moldings can be cleaned
with a quick-detail spray or residue remover or do what body shops do, mask
off these moldings before you start polishing. Soak dirty foam pads in a bucket
of soapy water (or with Snappy Clean Pad Cleaner), agitate pads with your fingers,
rinse with fresh water, hand squeeze out excess water and allow pads to air
dry. After polishing, finish with a coat of your favorite wax or sealant.
Cautions: Blackfire Scratch Resistant Clear Finishing Polish is for
use on all newer scratch resistant clear coats. Do not use on pre-2005, conventional
clear coats. If you're not sure about your 2005 or 2006 vehicle, check with
your dealer to see if it came with a scratch resistant clear coat. If it does
have a scratch resistant or nano, ceramic clear coat, S.R.C. Finishing Polish
is the best polish to keep your car's finish scratch, swirl and spot free.
Background of developing compound and polish for the new scratch-resistant
clear coats.
The winds of change are blowing in automotive clear coat technology. In 2005,
Mercedes Benz started using a nano, ceramic particle, clear coat and in 2006
domestic automakers will start using a super-hard, scratch-resistant clear coat
developed by both PPG and BASF.
These new clear coats are scratch-resistant but not scratch proof. They can
still be scratched and spotted. The problem is polishing, or removing defects
in these new, super-hard clear coats. Conventional polishes may not have the
cutting power to remove swirls, spots and defects in these new coatings. To
our knowledge, no domestic polish manufacturer has developed a polish that is
approved at the OEM level for use on these super-hard, scratch-resistant clear
coats.
In 2005, Blackfire Scratch Resistant Clear Compound and Polish were developed
exclusively for Blackfire by Menzerna, to adapt their state-of-the-art, ceramic
clear coat polishes for the enthusiast aftermarket. While working with Mercedes
Benz, a compound and polish were developed to remove defects in the new nano,
ceramic particle clear coats. These polishes are currently used at the OEM level
in various automotive manufacturing plants world wide and are considered within
the polishing industry to be the most advanced polishes in the world.
