Don't know if you saw this thread, but may be interesting to you...regarding BFCS http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/new-car-care-products/45770-blackfire-crystal-seal-11-minute-paint-sealant.html

Your welcome...but, remember to use a wax remover before you apply the crystal seal, otherwise it won't bond really well to the paint (clean paint)...which you want for protection.

Also, I think when they say "clean paint", you are correct that is shouldn't have defects, or swirls, etc since the paint sealant, will do just that, it will seal your paint surface, so if you have contamination on the surface, you will be sealing that in...I personally like the look of the BFWD...

I would put at least 2 coats, 8 hrs apart to get a great seal if you are compounding your car. The spray on Black...

Wondering the difference between the Griot's Orange and Red Waxing Pads? Does anyone know? Is the Orange Pad considered a CUTTING PAD, and the Red considered a FINISHING PAD? Want to know because was informed that if you use an orbital polisher too often on a car surface, could wear down...
