    Crystal Coat Maintenance ?

    I`m new to paint coatings and am in the process of detailing my car with Crystal Coat and I wondering what if any maintenance is required for this product.
    Can or should I use a quick detailer type product and if so are there any recommendations?
    Thanks for the help

    Re: Crystal Coat Maintenance ?

    Welcome to the world of coatings! You just made your life muchhhh easier. For a quick detailer or a drying aid, BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Instant Detailer would be perfect. If you want to save some money and don`t mind diluting your own solution, go with BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Waterless Wash Concentrate; a single 16oz bottle of that concentrate makes 6 gallons of waterless wash. The new Kwazar sprayers are perfect for that waterless wash.

    Every once in awhile I like applying a spray wax after drying the vehicle. For a spray wax I`d recommend the new BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Carnauba Spray Wax or Polish Angel Rapidwaxx, both perform amazing on coatings.

    Also, for best results use high quality microfiber towels. Since you`ll be touching the paint when you`re wiping it down with a quick detailer or spray wax, you should be using soft, plush MF towels. For the spray wax, I love the Arctic White towels. For the waterless wash or QD, Supreme 530`s have been my go-to.

    For a final detail after a wash with spray wax, I like to use WW towels to avoid linting. This is only after a wash though, so the paint is clean. The MS instant detailer works nice as a drying aid and you only need a couple spritz per panel as you dry with a WW. If it were me, I`d then finish with MS Spray Wax to remove any streaks from drying and to really amp up the shine. Right now I finish both a RW and 2BM with BF Polymer Spray, but I have BFWD on as my sealant, not the coating.
