Black fire paint protection replacement.

What’s up everyone, I’ve been reading over Glens PDFs for car detailing and with winter coming I want to do step 2a on the master plan. He says to use BLACKFIRE paint protection, but what can I use in place of that.

So after using the carpro essence but before the carpro reload, what sealant or paint protection product should I use?

Thanks!

Reload is the sealant.

Yes, which is used in step 3. When you google BLACKFIRE paint protection as stated in step 2a, it brings up BLACKFIRE sealant. I am looking for a replacement on the product used for step 2a. I want additional protection for my car during these winter months.

From doc#1:
"So everywhere in thesedocuments that you read about BLACKFIRETOTAL POLISH AND SEAL, just replace it with CARPRO ESSENCE GLOSS ENHANCER. "


So BF TPNS > BF Sealant becomes Carpro Essence > Reload.

I know that. But read the master plan and when you get to step 2a, let me know which product I should be using in place of the BLACKFIRE Paint Protection. Glens document about the changing of products is only for step 2 and step 3

1. Wash with dawn
2. BLACKFIRE polish and seal = carpro essence
2a. BLACKFIRE paint protection = ?????
3. Blackfire crystal seal = carpro reload


Do we have an answer to this question? Glens documents don’t state anything bout a change of product to step 2a. Do most people just skip that step?

Step 2a was blackfire wet diamond sealant....With essence and reload (or bf 2i02 spray) it's not necessary.

This is its replacement
