    I personally think you don't get a very "wet" look with sealants, but I myself use BF. I apply a nuba on top of it to give it proper wetness and depth.

    I like Blackfire Wet Diamond I can coat my solid black ML 350 or my solid black Mustang Gt by hand with a yellow foam applicator with less than 1 oz of it. Not only that it looks great and has a nice deep shine to it with plenty of wetness. I coat the entire finish first then let it sit for an additional 45 to an hour then buff it off with one of my plush microfibers removal is extremely easy. Here are some pics of it on both my vehicles.

    BL is one of the only sealants IMO that gives any sort of depth or wetness (have not tried BFWD yet) .......... more so then Zaino Z5p. Also much more so then MPL. they are all good products and have their own merrits.

    but I too layer up the nuba over certain sealants.

    I have used both Blackfire and Powerlock. I honestly could not tell the difference between the two. Both had great depth and shine and both were slick as $#@%. IMO, you can't go wrong with either one. Just get the one that costs less at the time of purchase.

    They both cost the same. I use BFWD and am very satisfied with it. May try the PL next time when I run out just to compare.

    I like the BFWD. Great product. Price is competitive. Look is great. Damn good product.

    BFWD is great. I use it on my Z06 followed with a a layer or two of Pinnacle Soveran and its beautiful.

    the only problem i have with PL is its durability.

    Really?!? I get a solid 3 months out of it, but then again, you're in Vancouver.

    I still haven't cracked upon my bottle of BFWD, but I've used menz PL quite a bit and while Im impressed with its looks and how easy it is to use I still perfer 4* UPP over most all of my sealants.

    I second Blacklight topped with V7. You get both durability and looks. Out of all the sealants I like Zaino Z5/Z2 combo . I also think Prima Epic gives and outstanding look especially topped with Hydro.

    Is PL the one that has to cure overnight? I'm thinking of getting a couple sealants, as right now I've just been using a couple coats of 845

    I can hardly tell a difference between the two, however I have found that on certain finicky paints BFWD can smear a bit. After my BFWD ran out I switched to Menz PL and I have to say it almost never smears, regardless of how finicky a paint finish is.

    And for those that say BFWD looks deeper or wetter I think thats perception, it does come in a cool black bottle and the name itself is sexy but I have yet to tell a difference and I have pretty much used those only 2 LSP's for over a year now.

    .... BTW, this is done with Powerlock

    Microscopic difference between both, you could add Wolfgang DGPS sealant into the mix of that identical triplets as well
