Jeff's Werkstatt vs. Blackfire - -WHich is better

[JG853]

Hello -

Just seeing if any of you could tell me your opinions of Jeff's Werkstatt Prime and Acrylic Jett vs. Blackfire. I have Jeff's W Prime and Acrylic Jett and these are the best products I have ever used.

Now my friend tells me that Blackfire is a better product than Jeff's Werkstatt Prime and Acrylic Jett. I have never heard of Blackfire.

Has anyone ever compared the two? If so, what are your opinions.

Thank you,

I bought Blackfire when it first came out, I'm sure it's much improved, however the durability wasn't that long. The looks were fantastic though!

I have used both and, honestly I prefer the BF. I see 3-4 months of durability with BF, and I am at 2 months on my dad's car with JW and it isn't looking all that hot. Overall as a sealant for light colors I prefer 2180 over JW, the Werkstatt look is just too glassy for me. On darks, I really like BF. Gives a clear, deep looking finish with excellent optical range that is super slick, whereas Werkstatt gives a wet glass look which IMO is sterile. I know Werkstatt is a highly praised product around here, but it is just not my cup of tea, I guess. Just my 0.02.

I have been using both BF (or WG) and AJ together for some time now. IMO, BF is a great product and then when topped with AJ, or AJ Trigger, it adds substaintially to the depth and wetness.

Check out this link of someone who used both of these together - great pics!

I have both . I prefer the JW Prime acrylic an AJ ( AJT). Blackfire is really good to.
I don't consider durability as much as I do a deep wet shine. IMO JW gives a better look and Blackfire tends to dry in the cracks if your not careful. As I said before I don't like to mix product lines so if I use Blackfire ( I have the whole kit ) I use it all if I am using Werstatt( have that whole line as well) I use all their products. I think you get a better idea on how the product is performing when you do this. As I don't measure durability as much I did find however that Werstatt lasted longer based on washings on my wifes van.
I had Blackfire on for a few months then switched to JW for a few months so it was a decent test.
On my car however I use Zaino exclusively because of looks and the durability is a bonus.

JW vs Blackfire, I like Werksatt. As a side note both BF and JW blow FMJ away.

Thank you for your expertise and reponses.

I have tried both the products and I find the difference to be pretty marginal.

BF feels slightly slicker and looks slightly wetter
JW looks shinier and more reflective with a slickness that lasted longer.
