New and improved BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal review time!
From PBMG copy for BF Crystal Seal:
Directions:
Instead of using a microfiber applicator I decided to use a Lake Country Coating Applicator because a) they’re easy to hold, b) don’t soak up product, and c) allow you to apply a nice even layer.
Here’s a shot of my hood in the process of flashing over:
I also applied BF CS to my headlights and windows:
Example #1 High spot before:
Buffing:
After:
Example #2 side-view mirror before:
After:
So as you can see, BF CS buffs off very easily and didn’t give me any lasting headaches.
After all high-spots removed:
Conclusion
Blackfire Crystal Seal has to be one of the easiest LSP I’ve ever used. Had I not over applied it, BF CS would also win for the fastest LSP I’ve ever used as well. Best of all, BF CS is highly cost effective @ $20 for a 4oz bottle that will last a long time w/ careful application… This is one product I can easily recommend and will be sure to provide durability updates in the weeks/months to come.
Additional Observations
A few mornings after I applied BF CS, I noticed some of the coolest frost formations I’ve ever seen:
Check out the frost icicles growing out of the hood and front fender:
How wild is that?!?!
As always, I hope this review was helpful. Please feel free to ask any questions.

5. There is no need to buff - Yeah… so about that...
Ok, as it turned out there was a few high spots I needed to buff. I’m blaming this on user error since I’m known to have a heavy hand and overapplied BF CS in a few spots:
