Blackfire was a pioneer in its day, but I'd use Wolfgang or UPP instead of Blackfire any day of the week. Durability and looks are much better in my opinion. It all depends on what color you are putting it on though. For dark colors I'd suggest Wolfgang. For light colors I'd go with UPP. They both have all the appearance qualities of Blackfire and then some.

As offered Four Star UPP and Wolfgang are equally valid choices here at Autogeek. I find it funny that they once used our tried and true combo (Klasse AIO / Souveran Paste) as the basis for their WET FIRE advertisement not so long ago. I guess they could not beat us, so why not copy us !!

Even with all that being said, Blackfire does have quite the look to it. This was my first experience with Blackfire years ago.
Back then there really weren't many options. Souveran was $60 bucks a jar and money was an object at that point. Blackfire sure did deliver on it's promise, but durabilty has always been an issue. UPP and Wolfgang seem to have cracked the problem and provided looks and durability. I still remember the 'wow' factor of my first time with Blackfire though... <sigh> Good times.

I would seriously check out Blackfire's Wet Ice Over Fire Shine if it's the best look you're looking for. I too, don't want to step on anybodys toes as I too buy a lot from AG and lets be real here. AG does if fact have a better selection of products than CMA. However, I'll be very honest and say Blackfire has the upper hand when it comes to final appearance. Their new paste wax is perhaps the best I can find lately (old Zymol user here). Here in southern Utah where the climate changes as often as Michael Moore's stories. I've been hard-pressed to find anything better that offers the boldness and durability that Blackfire delivers.
Which brings me to my next question since I'm visiting today. Why doesn't AG stock Zymol anymore? I really want to try Rouge Red Wax. Heard a lot of interesting things about it since I don't have a clearcoat on my red 912.

Well Becca, although I would like to thank you for giving props to our great selection, I would also like to say your employer CMA, might not like you posting on this forum!
After doing a little check on your email and IP it appears you are the same Becca employed at CMA. So we appreciate your great expert advise on waxes, but I think it might be a little biased.
