Re: Blackfire Wet Diamond vs. Blackfire Crystal Seal
It's a toss up....
BFWD is the more normal true sealant. It should have a little bit better look and longer durability.
BFCS is the new guy. It is super easy to apply and looks great. I don't know on the durability yet, but can easily top it up in 15-20min once a month with no problem.
For me personaly I think BFWD is slightly slicker in initial feel and maybe a shade wetter in look. But BFCS looks just as good and is that much easier to apply. BFCS has replaced BFWD for me....

Troy is right. Not sure I will ever stop using BFWD but to get 90%+ in 15min.... Makes you think.

Are you guys using these with a wax? On top of a wax? Under a wax? Or by itself. I'm not sure of the role of spray on sealants, that have lesser durability that their traditional counterparts.

About how long does BFWD take you to apply? (if done by hand)

On top no. Under maybe, depending on your look preferences.
BFWD is more time consuming (...) but more durable (as for looks, hmmm, don't know).
BFCS is the "The 11 Minute Paint Sealant"...You can reapply it from time to time, with no sweat, if you do not top it with a nuba.

Sealants are basically synthetic "waxes." In the case of info BF, it uses polymers. Sealants typically last longer than waxes and would be applied before a wax if you used both.

You apply, let dry to a haze (maybe 30-45min) and remove. Allow 12hrs before layering or topping.

So basically same thing as wax. Is there a cure time on BFWD or BFCS? like before it can get wet

Ya, you apply BFWD like other liquid waxes and such. So overal application is 30-45 min and a 10-12 hr cure time. With UPGP and BFCS the cure time is only 45min-1hr. So you can apply a second coat very quickly and even possibly apply a beauty wax the same day.
So far I am only using UPGP and BFCS as standalone sealants ant not topping them with a wax. It is hard since I like to wax as well. But the look and beading of these products is great on their own.
