BLACKFIRE All-In-One Trim & Tire Protectant

It's time for a change (dot) org petition!! That is my go-to secret sauce, and I have a quarter of a bottle left...

What is a viable replacement until BF decides to make it again?
What will it take to convince the powers that be to bring it back???

I found that other "black restore" products to be too thick and syrup like... BF was perfect... easy to go on, nice scent, good longevity and when wiped with a MF it toned down nicely... Worked great on Tires, trim and engine trims... I'm open to suggestions, but hands down this was the best magic sauce in a bottle!!! Seriously bummed this is discontinued...
 
Couldn't agree more... this is really a niche product. Poor decision to drop it from the line.

I mainly used it for tires, so Poorboy's Bold N Bright Tire Dressing will be Plan "B," but for cosmetic engine dressing I'm not so sure.

On the bright side, BLACKFIRE is still making their "Advanced Pad Conditioner" (SARCASM!)

I am also very disappointed that they dropped this product. I did buy a gallon on Amazon, hope it lasts till they bring it back, there is still some gallon size containers on Amazon.

I would think the Poorboys would be a suitable replacement for engines. Admittedly I haven't tried it but it does have cleaners in it as well so it should work. I've used it on rubber floor mats with great success. But I'm with you the Blackfire AIO was a great product. Definitely my go to for engines and worked great on tires as well. I used it on some fairly dirty engines and it always came out looking great with just one step.
 
While I liked using the Blackfire product, I've moved on to the McKee's 37 trim protector/restorer and like it a lot better. What it might lose in durability it makes up for in easy of application and cleanup.

The difference is that Blackfire is (was) an All in One product. Meaning it cleaned and protected in one step. There are several good products out there for cleaning or protecting trim, plastic, rubber, etc. But the Blackfire AIO was really versatile and made the process very quick and efficient. It was great to use on mildly dirty engines, tires, trim, floormats, etc. as a one step spray on and wipe off product that was very good at both cleaning and protecting.
 
i love it for weather tech mats, and im not running low after the details from this weekend. I really hope they don't drop it. looks like ill need to get a gallon

The mistake was on my part. I had the product confused with the Tire and Trim Sealant. I've never actually used the protectant.
 
Maybe someone will get the hint and simply re-introduce this back into the product line....just as it was

I would hope but for all we know it didn't sell so they stopped making it

Wait... WHAT?!?!?! How could they kill this product? I use this stuff *all* *the* *time*. It may be my favorite detailing product ever...
 
I am hoping the Mckees product is an adequate replacement.
