Sealed with Blackfire but didn't polish
Okay, so I read all of the detailing information on this site and made sure I had some Blackfire Crystal Sealant waiting so I could immediately seal the car once I brought it home from the dealer (last week). I cleaned up some of the little water spots that were left on the car from the dealer wash (I told them not to do a full wash, just basically a rinse) and then applied the Blackfire.
I was amazed with the results - really easy and really looked great!. Well the other day I was outside and it was very sunny and I'm not sure if it was that I didn't have sunglasses on or maybe it was that I didn't have my contacts in, but I noticed some swirl marks. Looks like, despite my direction, someone at the dealer was hitting it with an orbital on the fascia and the hood. My question is - now that I have one layer of the Blackfire on, do I need to take it off to polish out the swirls or can I just polish over it? If I do have to take it off, what removes it?

Great, thanks Glen! I figured it is so durable that it probably took more than that. Good to know.

And you should use a orbital polisher to remove the swirls, the dealer most likely used a roterey polisher that created the swirls

Really sucks that the dealers don't listen to explicit instruction. I told my dealer not to touch the car as I was concerned about scratches from washing with a dirty cloth. He said he would just rinse it. Then I was on my way to pick it up and he calls me to tell me their are scratches in it because they used a towel to dry it off. WTF! This was in March and I am still pissed. They just don't get it!! Anyway, the car is awesome and thanks to Glen, looks perfect.
