    Blackfire Black Ice - More Sealant or Wax?

    What percentage of Black Ice is a sealant and what percent is a wax? I thought I heard Todd Helm say that it had greater durability than BFWD Sealant at detailfest. I read a lot about the waxes in it but not the sealant part. Just wondering about the durability if there is more wax in it.

    Also, I believe it takes BFWD sealant about 12 hours to cure. How long for Blackfire Black Ice?

    BlackIce is said to contain: Two different waxes: Carnuba and Montan.
    This is in contrast to: Three different "polymers" from around the World.

    I personally don't worry about the %-difference between waxes and "polymers" in LSP's because:
    It's been said that, for the most part, the wax-emulsion in car-care products is basically used as a carrier.

    I believe that the 12 hours cure time was for BFWD without the catalyst known as: Polycharger.

    The cure time for Polycharged-BFWD was considerably less...
    It began within minutes of being exposed to atmospheric-air.

    Can't say that I've read/heard about BlackIce being "Polycharged from the factory", or not.
    If not:
    Would it cause any harm to: "Aftermarket-Polycharge"...Blackfire's BlackIce?
