    Re: Review: Pinnacle Crystal Si02 Spray

    Sorry to say that this Camaro has left the building! It has a very radical camshaft profile and really "shakes the air" when the motor fires up. As the owner drove out of the garage and took a right the sun light up the side of the car. My natural instincts were to look for an smears or smudges I might have missed but I didn't see any. What I did see was a blinding orange fire of color that looked freaking incredible. The owner was very happy with the results.


    I don't normally play around with Photoshop, that's Yancy's area of expertise but the car looked so cool in the garage I tweaked one of the pictures to get this cartoon version....





    And in black-n-white




    Cool car and my favorite color too...

If you have BLACKFIRE Paint Coating on your paint, go with the BLACKFIRE SiO2 Spray Sealant.
    Does PBMG have any recommendations for which might be best to use on PBL products? I’m into these thicker sprays more than the PBL Booster, so figured I would ask.

    I think PBMG would recommend the product showcased in this review/how-to.


    It's a lot more substantial than the PBL Booster, (which I use), and the other two Si02 product you asked about.

    Mike,

    Very timely review. I just ordered this first thing this morning with the 12 Days of Christmas Sale special. I've been using a lot of the Pinnacle products and plan on performing the steps you outlined on my daily driver work vehicle as soon as the weather chooses to cooperate. The Camaro looks great!

    Nice review, Mike. The car turned out great! It looks super glossy and even wet

    I've been doing that with Blackfire and the wife's Kia. Wet Ice Over Fire and Blackfire Waterles/Rinseless. When the rain stops, I'll use the BF Wash and Wax next.
    The Kia has never looked so good!

    I sometimes wonder if Blackfire SiO2 would improve the looks any. Would it even be compatible with the Sealant/Wax combo that's on there?

    How I miss the lumpity cam profile of my old '67 Deuce.

    Re: Review: Pinnacle Crystal Si02 Spray

    about to use this in a bit. I had to do a hard iron wash yesterday after driving on bad brakes for way way to long. Paint was totally contaminated even the roof all from the rear passenger side break. Anyway I just detailed it july 4th before having the break issue.

    I might poly clay the car in spots but def don't have time to polish. I'll try to post up some pics. Ive used this stuff once before and it was very impressive.

    Anyone know how to make rotors shiny? The slotted plated ones?

    What LSP did you put on July 4th? I look forward to pics.

    I briefly used this a month ago on a non-prepped surface and was very impressed with the beading afterwards.

    Both my car and the wife's are coated. I use Pinnacle Si02 Mist now after every wash and it's INCREDIBLE!

    Like I said earlier in this thread, my favorite after wash QD has been Pinnacle's Crystal Mist. While still a GREAT QD, for my coated cars and coated clients they get the new Si02 QD!

    Just to confirm, you are talking about Pinnacle Crystal SiO2 Spray Sealant and not the new PBL SiO2 Quick Detailer, correct?

    I agree Pinnacle Crystal SiO2 Spray is very good. Quite a bit better than BF SiO2 which is a great product. Better shine and beading in my opinion... seems more concentrated.
