So I'm looking at Blackfire's line up of sealants and trying to figure out which would be best to follow it up with that would be quick and easy to use in the sun.ĭoes anyone have any input on the Synthetic Spray Sealant, and its performance? Or perhaps the Blackfire Instant Detailer with wet diamond polymers? My priority in this area is a quick sealant that goes on easily in hot sunny weather, and works well to repel dust. The product simply flashed too quickly in the heat for me to be able to buff it off cleanly. But that was an absolute NO GO in the sun. Now, I typically like to top Blackfire One Step with their Blackfire SiO2 Spray Sealant for a little extra shine and longevity, and I attempted to with this car as well. Got a great tip, which made me happy too! The owner of the vehicle was absolutely thrilled and astonished at the difference the results made. Admittedly, I'm an awful photographer and forgot to take a lot of after pictures, but take a look what it did to the trunk of this car: I was able to achieve almost a flawless finish on portions where there was no deep scratching. That alone blew me away.īut the results, and the ability of this product to cut through some seriously messed up paint, was absolutely mind-blowing. I would polish half the car, let it sit in the sun, and when I went to wipe it off it was SO EASY, even baked on to the paint. The panels were very hot to the touch but One Step never dried out or became sticky.
Since I was working in the sun, I applied the product particularly heavy onto my pads, working in smaller sections with a lot of product to keep it from drying out.
I was working under the sun in an arid SoCal desert valley location on a 85-90 degree day, and worked the One Step with 5" Buff and Shine green flat pads (which btw are EXCELLENT AIO pads) on my G9. Here's what the roof looked like (and notice the difference between the roof and the upper door edges that looked the same but are already polished): There was what looked like acid etching, staining, and heavy oxidation on parts of it that I was afraid I would not be able to bring back with just a one-step AIO job. Before beginning on the vehicle I had discussed with the owner the possibility of me not being able to correct the damage that was present on the paint. The paint looked like the clear was getting close to failure. I had a one-step polishing detail to do on a 2013 Charger in metallic black that was just. Yesterday, I had a chance to really, REALLY put this product to the test. I've polished three black Harley-Davidsons with it so far using 3" Griot's orange pads on my old cheapo DA, and on the soft black HD paint it really finishes to an incredible gloss. As a part-time detailer this stuff has really enabled me to work quickly, effectively, and really deliver the quality of finish that I want to finish with on most paint systems I've tried.
So I've had this quart of Blackfire One Step for a while now and have put it through its paces on several different cars and motorcycles, and it really continues to impress me with its performance.
