Waxes - The next "hot" wax ? Wet Diamond Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax

[MDRX8]

Is this the next hot wax for the new year? Wet Diamond Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax ....

BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax
with Acrylic Polymers

What does everyone think? Feedback ????

I put a coat over my 10 coats of Souveran. Looks quite good A- .... Souveran A ..... I have reserved the A+ for a future wax or combo.

I realize I'm pretty new to this detailing stuff, but how can you evaluate the look of a wax when you put it over another wax? Seems to me that would be like my wife putting a shirt on over another shirt and asking me how it looks. "Hmmm, I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just doesn't look quite right dear."

The site claims "One of the drawbacks of any carnauba wax is durability." Is it not the Carnuba thatr adds most of the durablity. I thought carnuba is some tought stuff!

This wax is clearly directly aimed at Souveran, both being marketed as beauty waxes. Neither one will have great durability, as that is not their selling point. It reads like a Souveran knockoff to me...

Nobody has this I guess?

I am still hooked on Zaino topped with Natty's Blue. When its gone, Ill look at these new toys.

Heard about it, but everytime I see that package they have called "wet ice over dark fire" or whatever it is makes me chuckle for reason lol.

After trying waxes from $15 to $150 on "MY" car I can definitely tell if a product enriches or dimishes the shine, depth and gloss. I have tried at least 20 different waxes and combo sealant/waxes. Yeah your right, a better test would be to take 10 coats of PS off and try there "Wet-Ice over Fire shine kit" but ain't gona do it. Wax is wax and all waxes "should" behave in the same way. "MY" car loves Men. PO85RD, Red Moose Glaze, and PS. (no ifs ands or buts a this point)...(2nd PO85RD, M21, PS X 3+).... Another coat of PS would wipe out WD wax in a heartbeat. So if something doesn't look right "my dear" you may be right. PS Durability is a non issue for me. I wax my car at least every two weeks and LOOKS are my main issue.

One more thing. I was trying to find if anyone has used there system, and how it looks in there special way of applying the wax over Blackfire sealant. -----ZOOM-ZOOM-----

Souveran is 8oz. vs. 7 oz. for BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Ivory ....
so if the look is comparable, at the same price, which one will you buy?
Good marketing would have at least made it a 8oz. jar/can.
Great marketing would have made it 8.5 oz. or more, to sway people to try/buy.

I do not understand how the people who are marketing this product feel they will compete against PS.

Isn't Blackfire owned by the person who partly owned Pinnacle?
