My Chemical Guys Blacklight Results

I recently got my car just a couple weeks ago. But the previous owner obviously used nasty drive through car wash brushes. There was fine scratches on certain areas of the car, general black car scuffs etc.
I decided to try Blacklight before I went through an entire paint correction routine as it wasn't that bad.
The results are better than expected. I will say there are certain areas like the top of the rear bumper and a couple spots on the doors that are simply going to require some paint correction.
Overall I give this Blacklight 2 thumbs up.


I washed, Clayed the car, washed again, dried, then did blacklight and cleaned any remaining haze off with the Hybrid VO7 detail spray. It worked out well.

I made a quick video of the results.

Blacklight is an excellent glaze. I get about a month of durability out of it when topped V7.

My car sits outside 24/7, so a garaged car may get longer.

Whenever you decide to use a machine to polish it, I think you would really like this product.

I should have thought to add in my post, when you do get around to paint correction, I have a 32oz bottle of Essence 1/2 full, I could send you 4oz of it. It's good until 9/17/17. Just send me a PM whenever you get ready to correct. It shouldn't take long to get to GA from NC.

Looks great! Big fan of Blacklight, great glaze.
