Lovin this stuff-looks like I can apply every quarter and get good protection (garage kept)


 
Glen, how's this doing against Florida bugs for you? I'm doing some testing of my own. Seriously considering this with BF One Step for my next low-effort combo
 
Pretty good, I just came across the alley yesterday to Sarasota from Fort Lauderdale, and my front end was remarkably clean. Where as my windshield had a few bugs on it. Not love bug bad, just normal bugs.
 
Excellent beading. I have used the Blackfire SIO2 spray on my white Jeep Sahara and have noticed that the Jeep definitely stays cleaner.
 
I washed & detailed 3 vehicles and a Goldwing motorcycle today with BF SI02. The calendar was two months exactly since their last pampering. I'm finding I just need to wipe the microfiber applicator on the chrome wheels and not even wipe then off....to much work! I'm liking it more as time goes by!!!!
 
Driven every day.......Once a month, driven 400 miles and stays in a driveway for a week.
 
Wow! What was the process in between? Rinseless wash? No lsp or spray sealant added?

Though you can to prolong the protection, learned that topping using an SiO2 sealant on top of a polymer sealant won't dramatically increase the protection for to bonding issue.

I don't know the cost benefit of that situation whether you just keep topping up with the SiO2 or the polymer spray instead.

It’s in the same category, this one is supposedly easier to apply. I haven’t tried c2v3 but this is a possible replacement
 
I have a month on my first application of the SiO2 spray, 3 two bucket method washes, and beading is like day one. Impressed.
 
Look's great! Got mine today. Looking forward to using it soon on the spring detail!
 
2 months is good to know. I coated our IS350 with GTechniq EXO 3 (Oct 2018)and use Blackfire SIo2 very 4 to 5 weeks. Holding up really nice ( bird poop also comes off easier). It’s a keeper for me
 
I would call it a mix between Sealant and coating gloss. A little bit candy, a little bit glassy. Maybe more so glassy.

How did you use it, drying aid or straight up application?
I used it as a drying aid,
I am going to try it again next wash.
