    My guess is there are many forms of this mineral and some forms are safe while other forms at the extreme spectrum of how it can be processed can be a health issue.

    Just to note, everything can be dangerous. I remember when "Scientist" told us that eating too much peanut butter could kill us.


    Just use common sense and if you want, when detailing with ANY product from ANY company - wear lots of protection equipment.

    I was told "yes", similar to CarPro Reload.

    I think CanCoat is a dedicated spray-on, wipe-off ceramic coating.

    Plus this does not tell you how many months it will last on paint...
    It's more like Reload.

    I asked how many months it's supposed to protect and was told 6 months.

    But - how long ANYTHING lasts depends on how the surface it "touched".

    By the word "touched", I mean how you wash and dry the car, or wipe it with a cloth, basically how you touch the surface and touching can mean micro-abrasion.

    Great observation. I'll let Danielle know to update the webpage and include that the product comes in a 32 ounce spray bottle.

    ANY dust is bad to breathe - can't think of any that are good for you except possibly inhalents for allergies or asthma. Wood dust is bad to breathe but if fine enough, can actually catch fire or even create an explosion! Even breathing in the vapors from microwave popcorn can do you in.

    Could this be used on PBL Synergy as a refresher (not often, but maybe every month or two)?

    I think so... it's a very substantial product, not sure how else to explain it except you really want to use a little bit, don't over do it.

    Re: BLACKFIRE SiO2 Spray Sealant review by Mike Phillips

    Mike,
    Thanks for the review and insights to the product. Being new to this does the new generation of SiO2 products AG is offering have any known issues for care and future paint correction needs? I read on the Quart-type products they look great but then some challenges with proper upkeep. Looking for comments relative to the daily driven vehicles driven in the hot and humid Texas weather.

    Thanks for sharing so much of your talent and experience to the forum.

    Osha says it's a major hazard on construction sites and passed a law this year banning any type of drilling into concrete without special equipment to contain the silica dust. This is in ma.

    I say this because I could clearly see dry powder coming off my pad when I was using Essence last weekend then using the brush on it.

    I think it's only a matter of time before it's band from detailing to?
    Apples and oranges.

    It is crystalline silica that is hazardous. Non-crystalline or amorphous silica is not on any EPA list and not considered hazardous at this time.

    The SiO2 used in these products is far from crystalline, they are in the nano-meter (5-15 nm to be precise) size range. Crystalline structures (sand dust, etc.) are 1000x or more larger than these nano-particles. Even if you put a gallon of this stuff out in the sun to evaporate the remaining dust would have no chemical structure that would magically crystallize.

    Re: BLACKFIRE SiO2 Spray Sealant review by Mike Phillips

    I am curious to know how this stacks up to the competition for shine and durability. I love Blackfire products. Mike mentions a Pinnacle product that is similar, so compare the two now that you have used them please.
