Klasse or Blackfire?

My supply of Pinnacle and Meguiar's is running thin. I'm thinking about trying something new and can't decide between Klasse or Blackfire. Any suggestions.

Blackfire is a 2 or 3 step process IIRC. It is synthetic, like Klasse, but it may be a bit harder to apply/remove. I know I researched it and went with the Klasse, but can't remember exactly why. I've not read much, if anything in this forum about Blackfire.

I have used their clay bar and have been happy with it, though.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about going with Klasse first but Mike at Classic Motoring recommended i try Blackfire. I went to the Autopia forum and checked out some reviews and most of them were pretty good. I might give it a try. Still not sure yet though.

I did get to do a little detailing today. A coat of #7 Meguiar's and then a top coat of Pinnacle Soverean. Here is a pic

Klasse all the way for All in one to start then use the P21S for the final wax.

After hearing about some of the feedback about Blackfire I'd recommend the old Klasse too. It lasts longer as well.

CMA is the maker of Blackfire, so of course they'll tilt that way...

Wow, looks impressive! Wheels look great too. From what I've heard, it's hard to beat Souveran over Klasse. If my car was black, that's the direction I'd go.
