Thanks to kyoshiro for letting me try his bottle of CG Blacklight and Hybrid V7 on my MINI this past Saturday my car had a couple months old of BFWD on it lol I was too lazy to strip it so I just put BL on and topped it with V7 it was around 8-9C with sunny sky overall I thought it was really easy to apply and remove, something like ez creme, it spreads easily and I went over the whole car with LC red on polishin pal, removed with CG yellow towels after about 15 mins waited about half an hour and topped with V7, V7 was also pretty easy to apply, just spray and spread with one CG yellow towel and buff off with 2nd towel, feels easier than OCW sun was already going down when I finish, so took some quick pics the next day after a short drive, haha please don't mind my newbie pics as I'm still learning how to use my T1i it felt pretty slick and made it look pretty glossy, it seems to masked and filled most of my minor wash marring lol don't think I'll ever find out the durability, but really wanted to grab the hose to see the beading on it will try Prima BG/Hydro combo next Thanks for looking! Hansen edit: it rained today so I took a couple beading shots with my phone not the best beading imo, but it's not too bad
nice finish, very sealant like i think you should colour code the arches and sills my mate had a grey cooper s and it looked great all painted
I like the way your Mini looks wearing the v7 / BL combo. I am interested to see what you think of the bfms we got on the group buy. I have never used a wax that went on and off so easily. On the topic...Your mini is no joke, regardless of the lsp.
Looks really good! Im loving the all black mini,I only have seen minis with stripes on them.Hmmm... I gotta hide this thread,my wife is gonna want a new all black mini if she she sees this.Damn this site!LOL
We never got it in the end cuz they wouldnt free ship 2 tubs lol But yeah V7 is a very glossy sealant and Blacklight is more of a glaze than a sealant. Its quite suited for Mini paintwork nonetheless, ultimately soft clear coat. Oh and V7 smells like orange, Hansen was exposed the smell for a long time while I stood back and watched Also I have concluded that the Majesta or something shampoo that he got for samples is ultimately lacking in cleaning power.
I've heard people say that CG Blacklight is really just repackaged CG EZ-Creme Glaze as it has the same consistancy, behavior, smell, and color. Anyone done any durability tests with this to see if it really has the life of a glaze or do people usually just top it off with a wax similar to what you'd do with a glaze anyways?
THe ride looks stunning and I agree that the T1i is a great camera . I just recent picked one up my self . Now I'm learning to use it. What Lens did you use to take these shots ?
Thanks guys! it rained today so I took some beading shots with my phone haha I've been thinking about painting the arches for a long time, but no money to paint yet, and I still haven't found a local shop that I trust yet haha ya Aldric and I ended up not getting it because we just didn't like the way they did things LOL
I only used the 18-55 Lens Kit that came with the camera, LOL can't afford new lens yet, and I'm still to newbie for new lens haha
Looks great. I just reordered the BL/V7 kit I really like the combo. You mentioned you want to try Prima Amigo/BG/Hydro that's actually my go to combo .Although I love the BL/ V7 the Prima combo is my Ultimate. When I get a chance I want to see how BL is topped with Hydro.
