Blackfire or Meguiars?

Hey all. Which is better. Blackfire Wet Diamond or Meguires Ultimate Quick Detailer?

I'm looking for something to make my car shine and to keep the pollen and other crap from sticking to my BLACK car. I was thinking of this
Blackfire kit Blackfire kit
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I am a huge fan of the entire blackfire line you can't go wrong with it trust me. I have never used Meguires so I could not compare the 2 for you. I have multiple coats of the paint sealant and the midnight sun wax and its just amazing. It looks like liquid metal when applied correctly.

Your question is comparing apples and oranges. Comparing a sealant/wax to a quick detailer is a bad comparison. That said, I'd go Blackfire all the way, with a good QD like Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical to use between BFWD applications.

Moving to "Car Care" section.

What's the difference between wax and quick detailer?

Wax/sealant is a more substantial product that protects the finish of the paint and enhances the shine. The quick detailer is more of a top-off product to use between wax applications.

Out of the two I would use BFWD

But honestly Zymol HD Cleanse followed by Zymol Carbon is sooooo much better than BFWD

If I was doing BFWD on a new car, I'd start with Iron-X, then clay, then apply (unless polishing is needed).
