You forgot to mention that boiled linseed oil is flammable and combustible and rags left with the boiled linseed oil can combust at room temp. Encouraging detailers to use this is irresponsible. It may have been fine back in the 70's when nothing else was available but not today.
Thank you! I'm always testing and improving application techniques!
By the way...as far as developments go...we got another new product that is making waves called GlassWow. It's not released yet, but it's a completely new take on glass/surface cleaners and was originally developed to make...
BlackWow Pro works great. Leaves a matte finish, not a shiny glossy one. Initial applications get 4-6 months, but successive applications will last even longer. Depending on where you are, it's common in SoCal where it shines more than it rains to get 8-12+ months per application.
While this...
Sorry..we're open Tues to Friday and every other Saturday. We're closed today (Monday). I'll send you a PM.
Expected durability is 4 to 6 months in real world conditions on real world cars...I have to say that because there are tests out there that claim otherwise but our users and my own...
Good news. PreCoat is being relaunched as GlassWow. It's almost the same product but it's now ready to use instead of requiring mixing. IPA concentration is approximately 45% and works on all surfaces.

That was a VERY thorough review! Thank you! There is always some nail biting anticipation in seeing what kind of results my customers are getting in different parts of the country! I really appreciate the thought and detail that went into this writeup.
I do have a few little tips that may be...
Full Disclosure--this is being written by the inventor of BlackWow.
As a full time fixed location detailer that also manufactures some innovative car care products, I am always trying to learn as much as possible about the way things work. Since I launched the BlackWow products in 2007, I have...
When you purchase BlackWow products from Autogeek, you are supporting the small guy. I'm not sure how many people really know this, but the "team" behind the products consist of myself and my wife and my father. It took us 5 years before we were able to "upgrade" from our home brew Harbor...
Awesome! Here's a pic of a Jeep Rubicon that had a dealership applied coating that failed after a couple of years. BWP restored the plastic but the failed coating meant that we could not achieve uniformity. This is an example of what call "did not degrade gracefully".
Had our product been...
You don't need to be an artist to spray on BWP. It takes just few minutes of practicing and it's really quite easy. You can buy set ups from lots of local art supply stores. Autogeek doesn't sell anything like this, but places like HF have decent setups for $10-$20. I have a $140 iWata I...
I actually eventually broke that $10 airbrush and got a better Paasche that is a dual action. Because I can control volume as well as air flow, you have a great deal of control and use only as much as you need. Any overspray is easily wiped up with a microfiber towel and it's a very fine mist...
