Blackfire products?

So I have done some research on how to get rid of micromarring on sensitive soft black paints. I have noticed that my black mini, black mercedes S600 are real sensitive to M80 with even a finishing pad. I tried less aggressive polishes with more aggressive pads and vice versa but nothing seems to help the situation. I mean don't get me wrong, the paint looks amazing, but in the sun you see these tiny little "hooks" in the paint, which drives me crazy because I am a perfectionist. Anyway, I read some posts on the internet, and one detailer mentioned that to get rid of these defects he HIGHLY recommended Blackfire Scratch Resistant Clear Polish. They say this product is Meszerna 106FF with more lubrication. My question is has anyone ever used this product, and if so, do you like the results? Thanks in advance.

The only thing I would worry about with Amigo is that it would only fill the scratches, not repair them. That could totally depend on what pad you use though. Maybe try getting the car as free of swirls as possible, then go and spot treat with Amigo and the white pad?

Its Menzerna, not Meszerna.

Its used at the MB factory on fresh paint to get out the defects. You can get it here http://www.properautocare.com/pofornececlc.html

Blackfire, I believe, is similar using the same source as Menzerna. Google Menzerna or see http://www.properautocare.com/ and read about it. It appears Menzerna FMJ is the cutting edge version of Blackfire. They also have two different levels of polish and a glaze (before the FMJ). See http://www.properautocare.com/mefitogl.html for a pic of a MINI with the glaze but before the FMJ.

You know what, I think you may be right. I remeber reading something about 3000 grit imperfections or something. Let me check the site.

EDIT::: The site says its a polish as well, so Amigo may be a great choice.
