Up Close & Personal: BLACKFIRE Total Trim & Tire Sealant

Thank you for reply nick.

I sure need to try this very soon.
WG trim sealant is good, but watery product soaked into foam pad too much.
Also looks great on tires as well.... almost as good as BF eclips tire gel (which is my favorite).

It's a 2010 Mazda3 SE hatchback. The odd product behavior I see is primarily on the plastic trim where the side mirrors connect to the door frame. I see similar results on the trim behind the wipers, but it isn't as bad. It is the strangest thing to wipe the product across that trim and watch it disappear like it is being absorbed with no change in appearance to the surface...color or otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, I still really like the product and continue to use it with good results...just not on that particular vehicle.

I'm very familiar with the trim that you're referring to. I too owned a 2010 Mazda 3 at one point. :)

I don't recall much working on that particular material except for greasy, slimy dressings (the oils "wet" the plastic).

Sigh...I was hoping I was missing something.

I've found the same thing. Those are also the same types of products that run all over the paint the first time it gets hot or rains. Oh, well. Thanks for the input, Nick!

hmm... I do own 2012 mazdaspeed 3 and always had some issue on restoring trims, especially side mirrors.
Tried gtechniq C4, WG trim sealant, BF ... AIO spray trim.... (sry cant remember the name)
but doesn't seem like working very well and last long enough.
 
I have a 2010 mazdaspeed 3 and I know what you guys are talking about. I'm currently using BF AIO Trim & Tire Protectant for all my trims. Nick, is it worth buying the BF Trim Sealant when I already have the AIO? Does it last longer? Can it be used on black metal windshield wiper arms or would the wolfgang trim sealant be better for that? Thanks.
