Hey guys, this weekend I had the chance to get some videos together documenting washing the BlackFire Paint Coating as well as a beading and sheeting video. There have been some questions on the product in general and I wanted to capture the attributes of the coating and bring them to you. In the end I was able to get an impromptu photo-shoot done for my neighbors car.

First, here is the video I put together on applying this product. Attached is the link to that review.

On the first video showing the wash, a rinse less wash method was utilized with Meguiar’s D114 mixed up at a 1:256 ratio. My wash media consisted of multiple plush type mf towels for the wash.

On the second video I showcase the behavior characteristics of how the BlackFire paint Coating will bead and sheet water. Please excuse the wind noise as it became pretty hostile in my video towards the end.

The third video is just bonus material…

The new ROTA wheels also received a coat of the BlackFire Crystal Coat Paint Coating while the tires received BlackFire Total Eclipse Tire Gel.
 
Very glossy! The car looks more than brand new from showroom.
Perfect!
 
WOW! That car looks fantastic!! Great job Mike!
Are all coatings that easy to use?
 
Fantastic job Mike! Thanks for making the videos my friend.
 
Great follow up review buddy! Thanks for doing the videos for us.

The beading and sheeting of the coating both show amazing characteristics! I'm sure it makes it a joy and a breeze to wash the car.

Did you add a spray wax/detailer after the wash? If not, that's very glossy especially for using D114.

I envy you guys that have cool enough weather to wash your cars under the sun.
 
Thanks for taking the time in making the videos Mike. Coated vehicles are the way to go imho. Maintenance is a breeze!

Thanks Marc. No problem. My pleasure.

The behavior in which the paint acts when in contact with water displays amazing characteristics. You can see in the video where I am washing the paint, the rinse less wash beads on the panel. lol

I did not add anything after the wash. It was strictly a rinse less wash with D114. Nothing was added after the fact other than the hose for the beading/sheeting video.

I try and keep an eye out for the ambient air temperature when washing in the sun like that. During the day we reached a high of 72 with a nice breeze.

Thank you James. No problem.

Maintenance surely is a breeze on a coated surface.

Great videos Mike.

Thanks Al.

Gotta work on getting my script down pat before the shoot so I don't hiccup.
