What do you think you could accomplish in eleven minutes? You could go for a jog or get a quick bite to eat at your favorite fast-food joint. Maybe even download and burn your favorite artist’s greatest hits collection from iTunes. All of the above can certainly be accomplished in that time frame, but none of them will turn heads or create whiplash as your cruise down the strip at your local car show. That’s where Crystal Seal, one of the newest additions to the recently revamped Blackfire line, comes into play.

Blackfire Crystal Seal is much more than a bottle packed full of specially blended polymers and gloss-enhancers. Blackfire Crystal Seal enables you to seal and protect virtually every surface of your vehicle’s exterior in minutes. What’s even better is how less is more, literally. Walk out to your garage with the bottle in one hand and an applicator in the other and you’re all set. Put the towels away as this spray sealant requires no buffing.

Blackfire Crystal Seal is quite possibly the easiest product you will ever lay your hands on. Not only does it induce whiplash by creating a reflective, hard-as-nails shine, but it also provides months of protection that can withstand the harshest of environments. Blackfire Crystal Seal protects and enhances painted surfaces, exterior trim, chrome bumpers, glass and wheels. Blackfire Crystal Seal provides a super-slick polymer barrier that virtually nothing can stick to.

The key to success with Blackfire Crystal Seal is to apply it to a squeaky clean surface free of any contaminants. Clay as needed to remove bonded contaminants and use Blackfire’s Gloss Enhancing Polish (http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-gloss-enhancing-polish.html) to promote proper bonding of Crystal Seal. After the surface is cleaned and prepped, all you need is a microfiber or poly foam applicator. I’ve found that a microfiber applicator is ideal as it reduces the chance of streaking and provides a more thin, even coat.

When you’re starting out with a fresh applicator you should first prime it with one spray of Crystal Seal. This will ensure consistent, even coverage with the first panel that you apply it to.

Blackfire Crystal Seal is hyper-concentrated and the phrase thin is in cannot be stressed enough with this particular spray sealant. One ounce is more than enough to protect and enhance four to five vehicles. For most vehicles one spray per panel is all that’s required. A hood, for example, would require two sprays. Blackfire Crystal Seal should never be applied to a hot panel in direct sunlight.

Always spray Crystal Seal directly onto the surface.

Using just the weight of your hand, move the applicator back and forth and then up and down. This will ensure complete coverage of the sealant. If you notice any streaking you’re either applying too much product or the panel that you’re working on is hot to the touch.

Because Crystal Seal goes on thin and dries clear, it can also be used as a glass sealant. When used on glass, you can let your wiper blades rest at speeds above thirty miles per hour as the rain will be whisked away. You will also find that glass sealed with Crystal Seal will be much easier to clean and maintain.

With virtually every new car on the road utilizing some type of plastic or polycarbonate for the headlights/taillights, oxidation is inevitable unless these surfaces are protected. Blackfire Crystal Seal can also be used on these surfaces to protect against oxidation. Not only that, but just like every other surface that you apply Crystal Seal to, it will also enhance the appearance.

Blackfire Crystal Seal also works great as a wheel sealant. As a direct result of the super-slick clear polymer coating provided by Crystal Seal, future cleaning of your wheels will be much easier and require less effort. Best of all, application only takes seconds and there is no residue to buff off.

I've been playing with this product for a couple weeks now, and it really is great stuff. It looks great, very glossy and wet looking, and leaves a super slick finish. Being WOWA is just the icing on the cake. Another homerun from Blackfire IMO.

I was really impressed in my review with how slick crystal seal is, you can feel the transformation as you are applying it.

Would this be something that you could apply in your garage in the winter to keep the paint's protection up?

Boy it is expensive though, only WOWA that is more expensive is the Zaino. Is this really slicker than Opti-Seal or UPGP?

Slicker than OS for sure, but I don't feel it's on the same level as UPGP...BUT you get maximum look, protection, and slickness after just one coat. With UPGP you usually need 3 coats to get the best of everything.

The only LSP's that will touch my cars from now on at WOWA products - most notably UPGP...

It's so damn easy...

Looks like a great product. seems very similar to UPGP. Can anyone comment on the differences?

What if you put 3 coats of CS?

Dear Nick & Friends

Is this useful on top of Ultima Paint Guard Plus? I'd like to try Crystal Seal, but I don't think I want to strip away all the Paint Guard Plus I've applied to our van.

According to the description, you probably could top it over UPGP. But as Mark mentioned, it wouldn't be that useful. You would be better off using up your UPGP and then getting some Crystal Seal. But if you must purchase some, I wouldn't hurt to use it on your glass, wheels, trim, or paint of course.
