Blackfire pro ceramic vs Blackfire pro ceramic black edition

[twahl]

Which one of these two coatings would be better or are they the same thing? I've used the Blackfire diamond paint coating and didn't get good results but I'm wanting to try a ceramic again. It looks like theres also a black label diamond ceramic pro. Would that one be the better option since it costs more? Thanks for any advice.

The black sounds like a graphene type product based on the description. I think the black is slightly more difficult to use.

[The Guz]

The difference is the durability claims and flash times.

There is no graphene in either of these. These are both ceramic.

That's not accurate.

The Black Edition has a much higher concentration of solids than the Pro Ceramic.

I've used both and there's a substantial difference. And everyone LOVES this picture of the water beading on a black C8 Corvette created from the BLACK EDITION.

The BLACKFIRE Black Edition is bullet proof.

While one of the features that is touted about this product is the long flash time or the longer time you have before you need to start wiping the panel to further spread the product and remove any high spots - I would wait about 45 seconds to a minute and then wipe.

If you don't get this off - you will have to compound it off. It's no harder or easier to work with than any other conventional coating. It is freaking bullet proof.

In the review I shared above, you'll see my brother-in-law's 2020 C8 Corvette. I've detailed a number of cars for PJ and out of all the different ways I've "sealed" the paint, it's the Black Edition that he loves on his Vette. It stays clean and when he does wash it - it's fast and easy.


Hang tight, I took a picture of just this last Saturday.

Here you go, fresh off my phone,


It's been 8 months since I coated this old 2-door Chevy,

PJ is NOT a detailer. He appreciates a great looking car but he's not the kind of guy you would ever find hanging out on a forum like this to figure out how to best take care of his cars.

I've made sure he has a quality wash mitt, some good car wash soap, etc. And to this day, the finish on his black Corvette is still swirl-free.


So there is a difference between the two coatings you asked about and it's not more adjectives

FWIW

One more thing....


If you have NOT read my below article - then read it.

And if you don't have a GREAT hand-held inspection light then get one.

I'm serious. Been there, done that. Don't ever want to do it again. (have to compound high spots the day after)


Installing a Ceramic Paint Coating? You MUST have a GREAT hand held light to avoid high spots! (https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/2018-new-car-detailing-how-to-article-by-mike-phillips/120538-installing-ceramic-paint-coating-you-must-have-great-hand-held-light-avoid-high-spots.html)



Just trying to help folks...

Thank you very much for the responses. It looks like the black is definitely the way to go. I live on a dirt road so I need something bulletproof. I'm going to get some ordered up along with a light. I'll post results when it's done. Thanks again

I've "sampled" both and would give the edge (after 3 months) to Black Edition.

Both, so far, are good, though. Black Edition does produce better beads, and I want to say it sheets off water a bit better as well.
