Review: BlackFire Midnight Sun Paste Wax

**addysdaddy** · 12-30-2013, 10:09 AM

Getting ready to sell the 2005 TSX so a cleanup was in order. Light polishing required on the hood and trunk deck (Sonax 3/6 with white hybrid pad) while the remaining panels received Sonax Premium Paint Cleanser applied with the Flex via a yellow hybrid polishing pad. Tires treated with Perl (not diluted-straight up)

I don't have the BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection that's the companion to Midnight Sun so I reached for the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal instead and hit the car with two coats figuring it would simulate the look-a modified version of Fire Over Ice. After waiting about 45 minutes, I than applied two coats of BlackFire Midnight Sun Paste Wax that I recently received over the holidays. The Acura red is flat so I cannot comment on how it reacts with the metallic flakes, though from others it apparently does a great job enhancing the look.

Pros: Super easy to apply and very forgiving even if you get heavy handed. WOWA with no effort, similar to Fuzion in that respect. Made the paint look very glossy & wet. Did I say it was super easy to use? For those who prefer to apply wax to their entire vehicle rather than WOWA, this would be a factor. Personally I'm good either way as long as it's easy and this wax was truly a pleasure to use.

Cons: Seemed to darken the paint color. Having two white cars, I'm always looking for a nuba to brighten things up so this was a bit of a negative for me.

Conclusion:
Strongly recommended knowing that it has a bit of a darkening effect.

Wettest looking wax IMO hands down!

I love, love this wax. To comment on the metallic flakes, it does enhance them and I personally like the darkening effect on my greystone metallic. Like OP said, its an absolute dream to work with!

I think in cases like yours, Midnight Sun would be an awesome choice. On white or silver, not so much. And it soooo easy to use - gotta love it. Shame I don't own a black car. haha

haha unfortunately yes. Kids are grown and out of the house living in NYC so no cars for those guys. Have a two car garage and the our town doesn't allow street parking after 2am - so I have to move the car every morning & night on/off the driveway. Doesn't sound like much but after months and months, it's becomes a chore. Car's in great shape both mechanically and physicaly and I don't need to pay for insurance for something that's just sitting there. sooooo... she's gotta go.
