Re: Blackfire pro ceramic
You are going to have to polish and re-coat. Those are high spots from not wiping off completely or waiting too long to wipe.
Re: Blackfire pro ceramic
Thanks but the coating is supposed to have a 5 min working time correct and bead up when its ready to be buffed off according to the video but it wasn’t even on there 30 seconds. I did an small cross hatch then buffed right off.
Re: Blackfire pro ceramic
How old is your coating bottle? An old bottle will cure much faster and give you less time to level.
Re: Blackfire pro ceramic
It’s about 7-9 months old. I just bought a new bottle and will use that on the rest of my car and see if that makes a difference. Thanks
Re: Blackfire pro ceramic
I have noticed the same with flash time and noticed Depending on the air temperature and humidity it flashes differently. Most of the time it was 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes, no longer or high spots form ( on a fresh bottle). I now start off by timing the flash time on a small panel. I always, wash, clay, lightly polish, paint prep spray to remove residual stuff ( oils, waxes,etc)

Temperature and humidity can have the flash time behave differently. I used it as well and saw very little sweat effect of it.
How many towels did you use? And what type?
Proper lighting is key.
Re: Blackfire pro ceramic
It’s hot and humid here in New Orleans.. the air is almost soup its got so much humidity.. I may sweet talk friends into letting me use their garage that has a window ac unit to finish coating my car and the new one we have coming.. :-)
Re: Blackfire pro ceramic
I used very soft microfiber towels that aren’t from the big packs Ive seen. I figured those weren’t as soft than the ones I had picked up to use.. I was doing small areas at a time trying to ensure I could see everything with a small led flashlight..shrug.. I am hoping its just the remaining of the bottle that was old was the issue.. crossing fingers.. I just wanted to get my car’s front coated at least for our trip this weekend.
Re: Blackfire pro ceramic
I typically use the Edgeless green polishing towels (cobra) or similar , and typically 1 per panel, folded twice so always flipping towel side ( about10, that get thrown in a bucket of water as I go). And as mentioned proper light, so important. I always coat in a garage and leave inside to manufacturers recommendation
