The Blackfire products I use for a full detail (after claying once every 9 months or so) are:
Step 1 - SRC Compound. (scratch/swirl removal if required)
Step 2 - Gloss Enhancing Polish
Step 3 - Wet Diamond Sealer ( this stuff is the most amazing product of all. Easy application and removal. Magnificent results)
Step 4 - Midnight Sun Wax (both the paste and spray versions are excellent)
About every 2 to 3 months I'll do a quicker detail starting at step 3.
Step 4 every Month after washing. And after a regular weekly was I'll use the Midnight Sun detail spray.
The products are designed to give Black paint an amazing deep liquid glow rather than a synthetic shiny look ( difficult to explain but easy to see)
Scratch Resistant Compound:
See example below when I removed the dealer swirls. Compounded area on left of tape, untouched area on right.
Awesome garage, I might just copy your color scheme some day.
I have a question regarding those swirls: I have these swirls on my black 2007 C2 since I bought it and always accepted them as somewhat god given, read permanent. If I get you correctly, these are removable??!!
Excuse my ignorance but past washing the car I have no idea how to do all this advanced detailing - could you point me in the right direction (youtube link or similar)?

Thanks - and yes you absolutely can get those swirls out and keep them out. How you wash and dry the car is equally important in keeping them out. I'll try and dig up a link that describes a method that has served me well. In the interim, here is a great video showing the process I use for swirl removal:
This is some serious garage ****!
Just painted mine toenail fungus green (color looked better in the bucket) ... sometimes you win, sometimes you loose ;-)
This thread has me motivated in so many ways. Just bought my first house that actually has a legit garage and I plan on having a Porsche or two in there eventually.
Perfect garage except you missed one key component: a BEER FRIDGE!
BTW, as a fellow Atlantan, you should come join the Peachstate PCA for some DE track days at Road Atlanta in your 997.2! It's almost a sin to have that level of German engineering in your garage and not stretch it's legs at a nearby world-class road course!

Yep. Join the Peachstate PCA & get hooked up with a guy who runs the P-Car group and conducts some 'spirited driving' days up in North Georgia, etc. They aren't on a track, but lots of fun nonetheless. Next one is July 16th. They're a blast.

Thanks guys - sorry I hadn't looked at the thread for a while. I've actually been a PeachState PCA member for a long time, but unfortunately my schedule has prevented me from making proper use of it. I'm definitely hoping to change that in the near future

You missed our spirited drive today from Suwanee GA up to Cashiers NC for lunch and back. My GTS is 5th from the left. Great group of guys. We might have broke the speed limit once or twice, or a couple hundred times.
