Paint coating

[shroom2112]

I recently purchased Blackfire Crystal cain't coating kit. I followed all directions. When I applied material it seemed to go one to thick.i only used two drops on pad. Product also dry so fast I could smooth it properly. It was almost like a gum. What am I doing wrong. I applied it in shade and outside temps about 65 deg.

You are not the first one to have this problem. There is an issue with it. PM Meghan as Nick is no longer with Autogeek.

I experienced the same thing, but binned my bottle and moved on to McKee's 37 coating. Nick made mention of a possible new formula before he moved on, but there hasn't been any signs of an easier to use version.

Welcome to blackfire coating. May work the first try out of some of the bottles but some bottles didn't work at all from the start.

I emailed blackfire over a year ago got a couple initial replies back then nothing. No replacement no credit no nothing :thumbs Down:

Ridiculously easy to use and stunning shine and protection.

My thoughts too. However, I got great mileage out of the spray wax and car shampoo. Both are pretty good. I think there are better products out there, but none of the items in the kit are worth tossing other than the coating. Use them and enjoy.

This is probably the best answer. If the purchase is recent, they will hopefully work with you. If you can swap it for McKee's 37 coating, I'd go that way. It's a totally different experience...for the better!

After all the complaints and problems with this product, I'm actually surprised they still offer it for sale.

I never had issues when using it except when the shelf life expires.
Might have a bad bottle.
It's one of the easiest coatings to apply, Nick with Autogeek talked me into buying it, glad he did.

This makes me wonder if they have a packaging problem with this product. It's pretty clear the coating has a VERY short shelf life, so if there are leaks in the packaging it could have a significant impact on the user experience. There seems to be good number of people who have all encountered very similar symptoms, which could all point to a common problem with either packaging or product. I bought my bottle a few months after the product was revealed and my first attempt was only a week or two after receiving it in the mail. That should have been well within the shelf life of the product if sealed properly.

I watched YouTube video's on applying the coating, so there is evidence of it working properly...for some. My experience was like trying to spread a very sticky adhesive. It would flash almost instantly on contact with the surface.
