Yeah, I am disappointed as well. Unfortunately this was my first ever attempt with coatings so now I am afraid to try another one. I was hoping that with cooler application temps I would have better results but from what I have read here that won't help so I only have applied it to a hood. I...

Mike, everything I read says that it should be applied sparingly. I did notice quickly that just applying a drop to the applicator simply would not work for me at all. I had to use a bit more in order to get it on the panel at all. If I would put just a drop the applicator would basically just...

Not what I was hoping to hear :( I was hoping that it would be better to apply with cooler temps. Sounds like I should not get my hopes up when I try it in the air conditioned garage.

Thanks very much for the replies trekkeruss & hdez. I will look closer at the coatings because if I can get uv protection and long lasting that would be perfect. I was actually thinking about trying CQUK + Reload so thanks for the tips.

I am looking for MAXIMUM protection from the sun for certain applications. Mainly, for cars that live outside (no garage, carport, or cover) what types of products are best to keep the clear coat protected from the sun? I know there are benefits from coatings, especially that they last longer...

My understanding is that the firmer pads are more aggressive (more cutting). It allows you to fine tune what ever step you are working on. For example you can use a compound on a softer pad and if you are not getting the results you are after you can use the same compound with a firmer more...

Ok, so yesterday I went ahead and applied the Blackfire crystal coat to the hood of a car. Actually, I started with a small section on a bumper just to get a feel for it. I prepped and used the Blackfire Paint Prep as the last step before applying. Car was completely in shade and had been...

I would also like to ask anyone that has used this product what temperature and or humidity did you apply at? Did it go on like in the video at the temp/humidity that you applied it at? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Bus_Driver, when you do a 12" x 12" area at a time I assume you have to over lap a little. When you start the next 12" x 12" area how does the edges of the previous area respond to fresh coating going over the dry parts? Any issues when you overlap? I was planning to do...

Ebg18t, thanks very much for the reply and tips. Much appreciated. :props: Is it necessary to toss the microfibers that I use or can I wash as usual? Thanks again!

Bumping this to see if anyone can help me out. I'd like to try and apply it within the next couple days. Thanks!

Hi, Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section but I am getting ready to apply Blackfire Crystal Coat Paint Coating and have a few questions before I start. I plan to wash car, clay, polish, and then wipe with Blackfire Crystal Coat Paint Prep. I am a little nervous because this is the...
