BlackFire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash

[BobbyG]

Today was a decent day to perform some product trials and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to take BlackFire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash for a test drive.

Subject: 1999 Dodge Dakota SLT

The temp here is 44F and a mixture of sun and clouds. Considering it`s 28-Jan-2012 in New England it`s not too hard to take.

BlackFire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash comes in your standard 20oz spray bottle and is not unlike many currently in your detailing arsenal. It`s scent is that of a standard cleaning product and not overwhelming or pungent.

BlackFire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash is a product that can be used on just about any surface; paint, glass, chrome, fiberglass and plastic.



This sprayer has two spray pattern options; concentrated stream and a fanned shape.

Fanned Shape



An important note before I go further is how dirty is too dirty. Mike Phillips did a great article and I`ve provided the link for your convenience. How dirty is too dirty to safely use a rinseless wash?

Photos 1, 2, and 3 show the amount of dirt, salt, and debris accumulated from a storm we had a week ago. This is about as dirty as I like to allow when using a waterless wash.

Even though the clear coat has a slight tint to it, silver is a difficult color to photograph properly in order to convey the level of contaminates.







Following the directions, I liberally sprayed the panel covering it then waited a few minutes for it to attack the grime allowing it to be easily and safely wiped away.

Photos 4, 5, 6, and 7









If you look closely you`ll notice that the product is not strong enough to dissolve the contamination causing debris to flow toward the ground. In my mind, this somewhat important because if it were too strong it could attack and dissolve the sealant or wax protection.

Photos 8 & 9 clearly show the product working





Wiping

Use several clean Microfiber Towels and do not apply too much pressure as accumulated particles could impart minor surface defects.

When wiping, the towel easily glided across the finish removing the grime and contaminates. I wiped in one direction then flipping the cloth frequently exposing a fresh area.

To further test the effectiveness of BlackFire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash, I resprayed the entire panel then wiped it with a clean white Microfiber Towel.......The photo below is worth a thousand words...



Final Results





BlackFire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash is a quality product that`s reasonably priced. It works very well and is effective in a wide variety of cleaning rolls. I like the slickness and streak free shine once the final wipe is complete.

BlackFire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash has now earned a place in my detailing arsenal......

Great minds indeed Bobby!! Looks like we share the same brain occasionally. Always impressed how great your Dakota looks and looks like this WW can help maintain that amazing look.

Great review Bobby! I thought the new BF Waterless Wash left behind some good gloss, did you experience the same thing?

[Timbrr]

Great information Bobby; I have WW as part of my order of the new BF products. Thanks for taking the time and effort to keep us informed.

Great review Bobby! I thought the new BF Waterless Wash left behind some good gloss, did you experience the same thing?

Yes Bill, it did.

Even though it was a gorgeous day for January, the coolness and damp air kept the product from drying quickly as it would if it were let`s say 65 or 70 degrees. Once completely dry I did notice a much nicer slickness and shine produced during the final buffing...

By the way, some of the photos in the post exhibit a couple of dark spots....those from somewhere in the camera which I will find....

Awesome!!

The dark spots in the pictures is dust on the sensor. It it kinda a sensitive thing to resolve. Hit me up on PM if you need some input.
