So today was my truck's turn. Used the 'Chemical Guys' Blacklight / Jetseal 109 / V7 Spray Sealant. Holy crap, this stuff is about 1000x times easier to use than the Meguires/3M stuff I have been using, and the results are a lot nicer, too. The paint's got a 'depth' it hasn't had since... Well, ever.
Might actually re-do the wife's truck. Not today, though; it's Beer o'clock.

Hahaha!
I don't mind doing this stuff to my own vehicles, but I don't think I'd like to do it for a living!
I seriously need somewhere to do this work inside, though. Nothing like having tree sap fall on your freshly polished paint while you're trying to seal it.

I really like the Blacklight as well (Thanks Paul). I've been really happy with the Blackfire products. I have their finishing polish and picked up a few more products recently to see how they do. When the bird is back together, I have a nice surprise in store.

I had previously been using blackfire wet diamond. On my granite metallic Ram, the CG stuff gives the paint a 'deeper', more wet look than I was ever able to achieve with the blackfire stuff. The three products apply easily, too. I actually only used my porter cable to apply/buff the Blacklight. The Jetseal I applied by hand and the V7 spray sealant is a dream to apply with a microfiber towel. Bonus is the V7 can be applied to *everything*; glass, plastic trim, rubber, paint, etc. A little goes a long way, too; I barely made a dent in any of the bottles of CG product.

Today, on one of my exceedingly rare days off, it was the wife's Explorer turn with the Chemical Guys routine.
The obligatory reflection shot:
It looks about as good as I can make original 1999 black paint look. Definately has a depth and darkness that the Blackfire Wet Diamond didn't provide.
