Product Review: BLACKFIRE AIO Trim and Tire Protectant (2 part review)

PRODUCT REVIEW: BLACKFIRE AIO TRIM & TIRE REVIEW (TRIM PORTION)


Introduction:
When maintaining/dressing the trim and tires of the vehicle after a Rinseless/Waterless wash, the option of having an AIO designed in a way that not only cleans but protects the black trim found on the outside of the vehicle as well as the engine bay and tires allows users to really distance themselves from using a hose.

This is especially useful for users that live in an apartment or see a lot of road time where they want to maintain their vehicle while on the go.

Continued:

When it comes time to addressing the tires on the vehicle this area will really give the BLACKFIRE Trim & Tire AIO a workout if the tires have a previous tire protectant applied. In this case the tires had a coat of BLACKFIRE Total Eclipse Tire Gel that was 3 weeks old. While the BF Trim & Tire AIO did its job of cleaning up the tire and protecting it, the process took a bit longer than necessary as the previous tire protectant has not faded away.

Here is where you want to continually use the BF Trim & Tire to clean and maintain itself. If you have a previous protectant on the tires that is still fresh or not faded away, your best bet will be to use and APC to remove it before going over the tires with the BF Trim & Tire. Once you get on the maintenance side of the BF Trim & Tire is where this product really shines.

Pros:
Simple effective one step approach
Good cleaning power for maintenance duty
Nice satin sheen look

Cons:
Not enough power for initial tire cleanings from freshly applied previous tire protectants

Conclusion:
Overall I am very happy with this product, as it seems that it was designed specifically for the Waterless/Rinseless wash users where a hose is not used during the detail. This saves you not only time but money as it effectively combines two features into one product.

I highly recommend this to the Waterless/Rinseless wash crowd. This is a must have to compliment your Waterless/Rinseless wash regime.

Another awesome write up, Mike. You're inspiring me to carve out time to post a few new ones of my own!

BF AIO is a clear winner. I love that its blueberry scented too.

Now lets see the photo of the steak dinner Kyle (aka Focusst14) made you!!

I've been wanting to try this on my mustang - just haven't had a chance yet. Wife's MDX seems to get all the attention as of late...

Awesome review and thanks for sharing Mike!
