Review: Blackfire Crystal Seal

[cleanmycorolla]

Just got back from a road trip to Vegas in which I traveled to lay down lots of money on my Red Sox to win the World Series! Thankfully they did and I won, but the 4 hour drive from Los Angeles to Vegas really took a toll on my car, she was dusty, dirty, sand and rock pelted, and my wheels were grosser than gross.

After cleaning the entire car, giving her a good bath, cleaning my wheels, paint etc I decided to give everything a little boost, product of choice was Crystal Seal. My wheel covers needed protection most. The paint was protected fine already with BFWD but I could tell while cleaning my wheel covers my 4 month old application of UPGP was fading a little. So I had at it.



If you don't know Crystal Seal is a wipe on walk away sealant and it kicks major ass. Literally prime your applicator, spray the panel once or twice, and spread it thin. It will disappear into the paint, and within 45 you're set. What's great is you can add additional coats pretty quick, and the look is typical Blackfire. Not too mention I've used this product a ton, I've easily seen 3-4 months durability out of it!

Anyway here are the afters of the wheel covers, honestly they're so clean and shiny and slick, they look like alloys at a quick glance!



Observations and tips:
Spreads easy, so just 1-2 sprays per panel, maybe 3 for your hood will do. I found with my wheel covers one spray from about 8" away from point of contact allowed the atomizer to distribute the product well.

I used a microfiber applicator for my application, and I suggest you do to. It's soaks up very little product, it's very soft to reduce any chance of marring, and I've noticed it really allows you to spread the product evenly without any high spots to buff out.

4oz vs 8oz purchase. Honestly you use so little that the bottle can last years, it's just a matter of what you want to jump in at. If you've never tried it before and are looking to, I suggest grab the 4oz you won't be disappointed.

I would HIGLY RECOMMEND this product to anyone!

Good stuff, use it as my winter protection, and year round for that matter.

Does BFWD last long than the crystal seal??

Does BFWD last long than the crystal seal??

Yes, its' delivering a bigger payload upon application for lack of a better term.
