Hawaiian Tropic. Seriously,if you wanted something that needed maintainance, you wouldn't have choosen Blitz Black.
I agree with Ian, B.B. is a spray it on and let er fade kind of paint. If you want to keep that sheen it has, try steel wool, course that'll take a while if you have a big car....
If you go to www.hotrodders.com, there is a thread about JD BB in the exterior forum that is about 20 pages long. I seem to remember reading something about this involving using a heat gun somehow bringing the shine back. Seems like a lot of work though. Just add to the thread your question.
At the end of the plowing season, just rub it down with some dried corn silk and it'll be ready for next spring.
I would aways go over with the spray on wipe of wax, everytime I washed it. Didn't really stick to a brand just what was cheapest or on sale. Tried a test spot with paste, to much work and the results weren't any better. Eagle One was problably the best, and it works on primer too.
on my `28 tudor , i just wash it with a little carwash soap in the water bucket , then dry it with a towel...it has held up fine for almost 10 years this picture was taken this year
on my g***er i rubbed it out and buffed it and i wax it often it shines good and has no depth because it is semi gloss so it looks like a 30 yr old paint job that is still good......
I've tried everything on this type of finish and my conclusion is to leave it alone, you only make it worse when tou abrade it with anything. Try a cleanser like comet or even better that duck stuff " has'nt scratched yet" can't remember the name, maybe someone will know. Use with a wet towel and rub in one direction. You'll be amazed, it brings back to life that sheen without making it too shiney or putting scratches in the surface.
ok i know someones going to be an *** about this but I got to ask.what is Blitz Black?is it a paint or a primer?if its paint who makes it.is it straight out of a can or do you have to add flatner to it?
Blitz Black is made by john deer, its an impliment paint. You can get it outta a spray can at your dealer or i think they sell it by the quart?? You dont have 2 add flattner, its semigloss and i like the ****, lol Hope my limited knowledge helps...
