Nice, BO is a great colour! If you picked up Menzerna FMJ and Poorboys Nattys blue, it would look great on your G. FMJ will give paint protection for about 4-6 months (not to mention it is incredibly easy to use), and Nattys blue will give you that added depth and gloss and is formulated for darker colours. I use this combination on a lot of customer vehicles!

I have used that combo on my BO and it looks excellent and not very expensive. It's time for a full detail again because there's a show coming up the first of April. After polishing, I think I will use the Jetseal + Pete's '53 from CG this time. It looks great too.

I have used many products over the years and IMO they all "look" very similar. I have used TW and it looks good on darker cars. But, for me, the bigger concern is protection and durability and that is where the chain store brands fall short. TW just doesn't last in my experience. If you want something that looks good and protects for a while, TW and the like just don't do it. If you don't mind reapplying every 2 to 3 weeks, then I'm sure TW would be OK.

I would go with a good sealant (Zaino, Gloss-it, Jeffs Werkstat, Optimum, etc) for durability and top with a wax if you like that look (P21s is my favourite because it is SO easy to use).

I've had it for months and never used it yet. I have several other sealants that I love so much (FMJ, Wet Diamond) that I'm almost reluctant to try it out even though it has amazing reviews. How bout you PM me your address and I'll send you a sample bottle and you can tell me about it? You'll probably get he chance to use it before I will.

I decided to go with the wet ice over fire combo again (Blackfire Wet Diamond + Midnight Sun) Becasue it looks absolutely wicked on black!
