Re: Blackfire Hand Application Advice, Please?
you lost me at Nu Finish...
but the bottle has pretty clear instructions with cure times and such, its on the product page too. If i were you i would just stick with the nufish, putting Bfwd over it isn't going to do much.
Back to the full-time grind.

Re: Blackfire Hand Application Advice, Please?
I'm thinking I read a post like this a month or so ago from you?
My advice, have him hand apply BFWD and be done with it. It will leave a nice shine and protect your vehicle.
Hope all comes out better for you

You obviously have me confused with someone else. I have been in the hospital for about the last 2.5-3 months.
So, you suggest to just wash, clay bar, and apply the BFWD sealant and be done with it?

Re: Blackfire Hand Application Advice, Please?
Yes, the megs foam pads will be fine for the BFWD. Circular or linear will work. I always feel like I get better coverage with circular application, regardless of the instructions. But when in doubt, follow the instructions. Apply it thin. I'd give it 24 hours or so before topping with a spray wax if you choose to do so.
I can't comment on the nu-finish, as I haven't used it. If it's a simple polish, you could top it with BFWD. But if it's got a sealant/wax component to it, the blackfire isn't going to exhibit its highest potential. In that case, I'd skip the NF and go directly to the blackfire.

I just read a little about the nu-finish. If you're applying BFWD, definitely skip the nu-finish. yes-- wash, clay, apply BFWD.

Skip the nu-finish, doubtful the blackfire will bond over it. Apply it THIN and since it's going to be so humid out it will probably be a longer amount of time before you can remove it. Swipe your finger across it and if it comes off and leaves streak free paint, it's ready to be removed. I'd skip the spray wax too, there's not much to gain and it will alter the slickness of the sealant.

Re: Blackfire Hand Application Advice, Please?
I know I said I would take some before pics, but, my son had started washing the truck before I had a chance.
This is the end result of washing with Meguiar's Gold Shampoo, using a Meguiars clay bar kit, then applying BLACKFIRE WET DIAMOND paint sealant. The finish really needed a good clay bar job, which it got! And, the BFWD is some dayum good sealant!
My cousin and his wife showed up just as we were finishing up and they were amazed at the out come.
My cousin's wife own's an 2010 Lariat, red in color with a silver stripe on the bottom. That truck NEVER gets dirty! But, she uses Turtle Wax soap only on the outside. She has NEVER waxed it! So, my son clayed her front fender then applied the BFWD. I wish I could have taken a pic of her face! Long story short, we showed her how to clay bar and let her use the BFWD . She was going to do the work today.
Anyway, here are some pics of my truck. I hope they're up to everyones standards here.
BTW, all the work was done by hand. No machines were harmed in any way!
