Einszett

I'd requested and received some free samples of Metallic Polish Wax and Glanz Wax from Einszett earlier and today was the day I decided to compare it to the Blackfire stuff I've been using recently. The R32 had been polished with Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish followed by four coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection. This morning I washed and dried the car, and on the passenger side of my hood I first applied the Metallic Polish Wax, followed by the Glanz Wax. Unlike the acrylics I'd used before, Glanz Wax is a synthetic wax so it can not be layered. Adding another layer would merely remove and replace the previous coat. Anywhoo, the Einszett stuff was the easist to apply out of all the waxes/sealants I've tried, and personally I couldn't tell the difference between the left and right side of the hood. I found it a little difficult to accept the fact that in this case four coats of Blackfire equaled one coat of Glanz Wax.

Here's one of the pictures I took, but for the rest, further details and impressions you can click here. The pictures aren't the best :o( but it does look much better in person, and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two. Now I wonder what I'm supposed to do with practically new bottles of Blackfire products....

So how long did it take you to apply it to the whole car?

Do you get rain much in Maryland?

Well, I still have only half a hood done with Einszett--I want to see how the durability compares to the other half. For half a hood it took at most five minutes for polishing and waxing.
