    Re: *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    (preface - I am not a pro and am probably barely considered a hobbyist)

    Yesterday I did my wife's BMW wagon exterior. I washed, clayed, polished, prepped (with the new BF Paint Prep), and then applied the new Paint Coating.

    First - the new paint prep. Super easy. Spray on, wipe off. No streaks, no mess.

    The CCPC - I was very impressed. It went on easy and buffed off easy. It was easy to tell when I put too much on (when I first started, but I got better with it) because the coating would stay wet on the finish and I'd have to spread it more to get it to dry.

    IMO - the shine is pretty natural and looks good. I hope the finish lasts - it says 2 years but if I can get 1 year I'd be thrilled. This car unfortunately sits outside year-round.

    The only negative I have with it was I made a bit of a mess when I would try to drip it out of the bottle onto the applicator. For some reason I ended up with extra liquid drips around the bottom exterior of the bottle which I had to wipe up when finished.

    I estimated I used about 20-25% of the bottle - so 4-5 cars is probably realistic with the small bottle.

    I'm hopeful I didn't miss any spots - I may put a second coating on today (24 hours later) just to make sure I have it all well protected.

    Here is a couple images. Sorry they are indoors - her car stayed in overnight since it's supposed to stay dry for 24 hours after finishing

    The coating took 3-4 minutes to flash, when doing one panel at a time makes it easy to buff over the high spots.

    It was done in my shop, both bay doors closed.

    Temp was 78 degrees inside the shop, low humidity.
    I can see it flashing in one minute when it gets warmer.

    When using the BF Coating you feel your the best detailer it the world. Lol
    Yea, the coating makes you look really good.

    I coated a 2015 Toyota Camry and a full size Chevy truck and still have enough to do two more cars.
    A few drops on the LC Applicator Pad is all that's needed to get a lot of the surface coated, spreads very well.
    There is some drag on the first pass but no drag at all starting on your second pass.
    I cross hatched twice to make sure I didn't miss a spot.

    Give the BF Coating a try, you'll love it IMHO

    My guess is 6 months - since it's a quartz - hopefully longer though!

    When it gets in the 90's it'll flash literally right before your eyes! You will not be able to do the entire hood, then go back and wipe, nooooooooo.

    When I had my daughter (and wife) helping me some that's the first thing they noticed. The girl was saying "Dad, why is it all purple and streaky looking?". Told her that was it 'flashing', then right after that, let it sit a few seconds, then wipe it, making sure to turn the towel OFTEN.

    She even showed her husband how to do it. (Not that he's worth a rats arse for taking care of vehicles!!!!)

    Also it's good to use lots of new towels, and put them in to soak right afterwards. (Just in case any quartz based coating might come to harden within the fibers.)

    I was just gonna ask if you have to toss the microfibers you use like with cquartz.

    Re: *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    What's the diff with the nano glass ceramic (DP coating), compared to the quartz (BF coating)? I read that Nick@ag said the quartz is a thicker measurable layer...but what's the difference and is one better than the other?
