Detailed Image News Blog

Detailed Image now proudly carries the Blackfire line of products.  Blackfire has recently developed some outstanding products that have really made this brand stand out to to detailing enthusiasts.  Blackfire’s owners have several decades of detailing experience and vast product development experience.  This has helped them create and refine some ultra high quality products that exceed the needs of even the most particular detailers.  They have products to help you care for your wheels, tires, paint, trim, interior and so much more.

One particular group of products I really like is the Blackfire polishes (Final Polish and Compound).  Blackfire has partnered with Menzerna to develop some of the most refined and effective polishes on the market.  Menzerna has become the world leader for polishes and shared some of the trade secrets with Blackfire.  The Blackfire polishes use a uniquely refined polishing particle that is densely clustered for exceptional cutting power and a remarkably smooth finish.  Some traditional polishes use a larger particle for increased cutting power which creates far more haze and micro-marring.

I’m also impressed with several other Blackfire products that are highly versatile and safe to use.  These products make detailing more cost effective and easier to do.  Each product is very well balanced and doesn’t have the major downsides that other manufacturers accept.  Please look through the Blackfire line of products and see what products they have created to help you complete an outstanding detail.

Worn out and contaminated pads can hinder your results as well as potentially add imperfections to your paint.  It is good practice to clean your buffer pads every few panels or simply replace them with a fresh pad for maximum results.  Allowing the product to cake up will bog down your pad and minimize cutting ability if you are trying to remove imperfections.  Periodically cleaning your pads or swapping them out also means that the pads are easier to clean and you will extend the life of your pads.  Take advantage of this monthly sale and save today!

Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket (FMJ) is our best selling sealant. The ease of use for applying and removing this particular sealant is mind boggling. When you remove this product, very little effort is needed. Of all the products we’ve ever tested, this product remains on top for ease of removal. After removing this sealant, you’ll instantly notice the increased surface slickness Menzerna FMJ leaves behind on the paint. In conjunction with a just clayed surface prep and topping with Menzerna FMJ, it is tough to rival that combination for maximum surface slickness. Durability is expected to last between 3 – 6 months, but because of the ease of use, we recommend applying this product once a season to ensure year round protection on your vehicle.

For the month of September, Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket is on sale for 20% off. The 16oz kit is on sale for $31.99 (normally $39.99) and the 32oz bottle is on sale for $39.99 (normally $49.99)

For regular maintenance of Menzerna FMJ, consider following up your washes with Menzerna’s High Gloss Acrylic Shield. This product was specifically formulated to work on top of existing layers of Menzerna FMJ to restore surface slickness and enhance depth and gloss. HGAS also extends the durability of FMJ.
