Lesson Learned - BLAKFIRE
Ok - so I purchased the Blackfire Crystal Paint Sealant Kit -- not the spray type but the 4oz bottle that came in the kit I paid $109.00.
. Washed , Clay Bar, Paint Prep -- all went well. . Then I tried to accurately apply the Crystal Seal Coat only applying small droplets on to the applicator and using cross hatching strokes . Then per the video instructions I used the supplied microfiber towel to level off the coat. All this did was smear the coat . The flat parts of the car ~ hood and trunk and roof looked amazingly bad the next morning. As though I had applied a thin clear coat and you could even see the hatching in which I applied it. . So for the next 6 hrs, the same amount of time I spent applying the seal coat - I was able to remove the coating from the hood and trunk only. The other areas are not as noticeable. I worked on the roof some but it was hell getting off the hood and trunk. So my lessoned learned here is: I will use the Paint Coating for the front bumper only. It should provide the protection I am looking for. I may purchase the Blackfire Crystal Seal spray which does not appear to be as durable as the paint coating seal but application results have to be better than the poor results I saw ~ especially in light of the hours and effort I put into this application. |

I use Blackfire's polymer final coating in my detailing business. Never had a complaint and it is a breeze to apply. Looks awesome over a nice Menzerna or Meg's105 polish.

Collinite 845 is my preferred sealant. Goes on very smooth, wipes right off. Two coats will last 6 months; longer if you add a top carnauba of some sort.

Collnite 845
Thanks for the suggestion. I purchased the 845 from Amazon and have applied to the hood and trunk lid (where I removed the BF debacle) and the results are amazing. I think this sealant insulator wax is perfect for my AW color.
. Easy to work with and the results are great especially if it holds up but then again I like to wax about 1 every 6-8 weeks. . . Water beading is really good . Thanks again! |
