If your ever down south your welcome to try the UDM so you can compare with a PC?

The sonus products seem good, they seem to break down pretty quickly, which means i've had to compound the panels three times before the swirls have gone....
They don't seem to give that much of a gloss finish.. but i think i'll buy some blackfire gloss enhancing polished to become my finishing polish to add to the 'wet look'..

The only real bad thing about the sonus products is that they leave a lot of polish dust over the car, so need to constantly rebuff panels to get them clean....

Pro's and cons to blackfire al,

Yes it gives a wet look... meaning the car always looks very clean, but it does not give the paint depth and shine. It brings it up well don't get me wrong but reflection wise there are products what can do better.

Im a wet look man myself..

I use the full Blackfire range on my car, soon to add the ivory wax;

Blackfire 3000 grit compound (If you find someone who sells this let me know... PB stopped)
Blackfire 1500 finishing
Blackfire Gloss - Thats what you want, It seams to make the paint darker.
Blackfire Wet Look
Blackfire Ivory Wax - 50 quid a tub... downfall

It's pretty expensive stuff so i'd test it before you go and buy loads of it. You may not like it

Good job on the detail man, how does the paint feel? when you drop a cloth on it does the cloth glide of the paint?

good work mat, looks class

[Predator_R32p]

wish my car was a colour that i could do a 50/50 shot on but cant get a good picture of it being a gay colour
