    compare/contrast new BF to Klasse on black.

    I'm considering a polymer for my black miata. I'm looking at either Blackfire or Klasse. Which would you recommend and why? I already have AIO, and use that as a prep as it's my favorite polish/ mild abrasive i've found so far.. Would BF paint protection sit well on top of AIO, or would...

    A friend just picked up his first car. A 97 Nissan Altima. Black, of course... It's a NY car that has never been washed. Never been waxed. He said when he got it the finish looked like concrete. He applied 2 coats of turtle wax, with very blah results. It looks hazy, dull, and as...

    Questions about a repaint...

    I got my car back last week from having the nose repainted. I was buffing the paint out for the first time when I discovered that it wasn't clearcoated. My yellow pads were turned black!! The color match and everything is perfect. But the rest of the car is clearcoated. Is this going to...

    On the miata forum, there are a few guys having a discussion about their paint. The car in question is a poorly cared for 1990 Classic Red, with faded bumpers. The paint on these years and color is notorious for fading, and there's nothing you can do but repaint. The advice given to him...
