New user here with two questions. I`ve been a Blackfire user since 2003. Just recently purchased a fresh stock of new Blackfire products to use on my new Phantom Black Audi S5 (I know I will rue the day I bought a black car).
Anyway, I always clay my new cars so when I went to grab some Pinnacle Poly Clay, I was shocked to see that it was all gone! Anyway I broke out an unopened bar of Blackfire Clay that I`ve had sitting in my detail kit for a few years. I was shocked at how sticky the Blackfire clay was. Is this normal or has it sat too long? I`ve read that the Blackfire clay is one of the most aggressive. Does that equate to sticky? My fingers were sticky all day after that!
Second question. I was also out of Pinnacle Clay lube and must have purchased the Blackfire Lube with the Clay. I was also surprised at how different the Blackfire Lube was to the Pinnacle. Pinnacle`s lube seems much slicker and almost soapy compared to the Blackfire lube. I found that to keep the Blackfire Clay from grabbing the paint I needed to use A LOT of lube. So much so that I went through an entire 20 oz bottle on only half of the car. The same 20 oz of Pinnacle Lube lasted a few clayings of my prior car.
Is this to be expected?
BTW, I absolutely love the look of BFWD All Finish Paint Protection on a black car! I`m really looking forward to topping it with Midnight Sun.
Thanks for a great forum!
Mike
