    Re: Black Fire Crystal Coat

    Robert (I believe, unless I recall incorrectly) showed a while back that it can be applied a little easier if out of a sprayer
    I`ve had better success that way, I coated a few of my hotwheels cars but they were still a PITA to coat

    Re: Black Fire Crystal Coat

    I may try Crystal seal first to see if that helps.
    Thanks guys for the input.

    Not that that`s a bad thing , I have already done the leg work this time and would like the simple / less work to try and slick the surface up more. I don`t think it`s damage to my coating as it has been this way since application.
    I do appreciate the thought though. ����

    That`s what I was going to suggest also. This should give you a slick feel for a few months, maybe 6, instead of one or two washes.

    Re: Black Fire Crystal Coat

    Update:
    i did a full decontamination wash (Iron X ) and unboxed a brand new bottle of Essence Plus and applicator pads. 😁
    This weekend I will be preparing the car and trying Essence Plus coating repair . I will certainly share the results and my input on the CarPro Essence Plus.

    Re: Black Fire Crystal Coat

    CarPro Essence Plus was definitely worth doing. The grabbiness is gone the paint is much slicker now. Did add a little more shine to the paint too.
    I am looking forward to seeing how hydrophobic it really is now. It was starting to sheet off less (coating is approx 1year old now)
    Thanks for the recommendations guys as always I appreciate the help and shared info.
