![]() in direct sunlight and still had no problems with water spots. I was also out in the hot Florida sun at 2:00 p.m. ![]() The water wiped right off and left no water spots. The rest of the cleaning was easy, the bugs and dirt wiped right off. The Blackfire shampoo creates mounds of foam that last forever! It has a really pleasant smell too.Īs soon as I sprayed water on the car, the water immediately beaded up and rolled off just like the day I applied it. I used Blackfire Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo with a Lake Country Wash Wedge for cleaning. With my guess the car hasn`t been washed in a couple weeks, there was some dirt and some water spots. Maybe pay Kevin or me to fly out on a work/vaca :-) Maybe Nick or Mike will tell me to stop giving opinions lol I did say its a gamble.I applied the BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating to this Honda CRV about 4 months ago. I like to root for the underdog and would like to see a positive post of your accomplishment. Dont blame me please lol if it doesnt work. It would be nice to have on your brand new car. Its a gamble that might be worth taking if you have a buffer to fix it and do it over if there is an issue. I used Opti gloss coat on that one and it will disappear into the paint right in front of your eyes. Then he parked it in the parking garage of the building right after. It was in an area surrounded with the condo building and no traffic or stuff blowing around. I have done one outside for a guy in a high rise condo. Ideal yes a garage would be better and i would worry more about rain. During the drying time just before the product gets wiped off, will dust get inbedded in the product leaving a "ruff finish" My question is, I have to apply the product in a carport environment, dust flying around ect. After washing and claying the car, I want to use a coating product on it. Gtechnique has not been available for some time now. BF seems to have the qualities of the more costly coatings and it is a good deal. Is less temperamental with showing high spots the next day. Blackfire also hardens in the applicator. High spots are more possible if you are a first timer. But it does transform the applicator into a rock hard shell n has amazing gloss. Some are easier than others in my opinion opti -gloss coat - i think a 5 yr old could do it. The protection is great in every one you mentioned. Its becoming like whats your favorite wax. Kevin and i are only 2 of thousands of professionals in the forums. I think there are lots professionals using every coating out there. These coatings are a MUCH more cost effective then the popular coatings that are typically talked about (Opti-Gloss, 22ple, Cquartz, Gtechnique, etc.), but how does it compare to them? I don't know of any professional detailers offering Blackfire or DP coatings so there must be a reason right? I am very tempted to try one of these coatings to save a little $ as long as the longevity (2 years) and properties (very hydrophobic, light scratch resistance, chemical resistant) are the same. Looks great! I've been looking at Blackfires coating as well as DPs. You can clean the exhaust with them before the toss its painful to do because i use brand new never used towels for coatings. Then the towels go in the trash as they will scratch paint afterwards. Then the last one when im done is a bigger suede M/F with no nap to make it as smooth as glass. First one to get the bulk of it and the second one to clean up anything the first may have just smeared. I use a few M/F towels in my leveling process. Prep is the key meaning you have to get the oils off using the BF paint prep so the coating sticks. Keeping high spots down is much easier than Cquartz UK which is also a quartz based coating that hardens in the applicator. Now i can tuck the small suede towels into it. I even customized my foam block cutting it with a razor blade. Getting the coating even is very easy with a foam block applicator and a suede microfiber towel wrapped around it. Obviously not Crystal Seal easy, but is it tough getting the coat even? Keeping down high spots?
