Product Review: BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal

PRODUCT REVIEW: BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal

Introduction:
In the LSP world, there is a never-ending supply of products that are designed to protect the underlying surface. Products offered range from pure show car waxes with little protection offered such as Pinnacle Souveran to the other end of the spectrum with protection and durability at the top of the list offering the latest ceramic coating technology such as BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating.

BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal is an extremely concentrated paint sealant in liquid form that is misted onto the material by a pump-actuated sprayer. As soon as BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal touches the paint it begins to form a barrier.


Product Description:
BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal is a paint sealant coating that offers incredible protection and longevity for all paint finishes, plastics, glass, and metals. Just drops of this clear liquid produces a tough barrier over auto surfaces that resists contamination, moisture, and UV rays. Hyper-concentrated BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal packs the power of cross-linking Wet Diamond polymers in every drop.

BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal is in its own class of paint protection. Its protective properties are like a sealant but better. As soon as Crystal Seal touches the paint, it begins cross-linking to armor your vehicle. This micro-thin coating locks out the elements to keep auto surfaces looking like new. The coating is crystal clear, allowing the true beauty of paintwork, metal, glass, and plastics to show through.

BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal is a paint sealant in its truest form. No cleaners. No fillers. No wax. It is purely engineered to provide unbeatable surface protection.

Conclusion:
If you are on the fence about getting started with a true paint coating such as BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating, but the thought of high spots not leveling after application, cloudiness, or anything else that may have you holding off but would like to get a feel for the way a coating applies you may want to start here. BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal applies just as coatings do with a coating applicator and waiting a few moments before leveling with a mf.

Nice write up. I've been using it for about 3 years. I will disagree about streaking...it always streaks for me. It could be because I use 2 coats as I don't see the streaking as much after 1 coat. I use one spritz per panel and use a crosshatch pattern with a MF applicator. A rinseless wash does take care of the streaking, but can be problematic if you have to return the car to a customer right after application as you don't want to wash it for 24 hours.

I've gone away from using it on top of BFWD on black and darker painted cars. I prefer the naked BFWD depth on these colors. I still use BFCS on white and lighter painted cars and the results are blinding in the sun and the glassy gloss looks great on lighter cars.

I'm using the 35mm prime for everything. Just have to move my feet more to get in position.

I'm sure it was a silent release of the updated version.

IMO, it's a must have product. I typically use it as a "detail spray" every other wash to help whatever LSP I'm currently using to stay in tip top shape. Typically I will lay down a fast coat prior to using a carnauba wax to serve as a protection layer. It allows me to treat areas like door jams, window sills, trunk crevices, underneath painted area of the hood and other impossible to reach areas that would otherwise go neglected. It's also the only LSP I trust on wrapped materials & headlights other than Plexus. Don't forget to coat your windshield as it helps with shedding water. Just a fantastic product.

AGREE. It is a stand out product. I do believe they were the first with this. I still have some of mine left. Very easy to work with and yields a great look.

Excellent. Right now I'm using a 50mm prime for portraits but have a 35mm prime picked out for Christmas. I love prime lens!

Thanks for the info on wrapped materials.

Yes sir. Thanks.

You must have to stand a mile away to get everything into the shot. Lol

The 35mm will be your new favorite lens.
