    BF CS "smudges"

    I think it`s the color of my new car, but smudges of CS are on parts of the car, and although they rub out mostly with a MF, Is there a better way to get rid of them? More CS?, Using BFWD on them? Wiping down with Poly spray?

    It clearly is in places where too much CS was applied but the steel color is showing them off more than my old red car...

    opinions?

    Did you clay and polish the vehicle before application?

    Blackfire Crystal Seal is VERY sensitive to above and below surface contaminants. If the paint isn`t perfectly smooth, the sealant will not self-level after being applied.

    In that case the only thing I can think of is the temperature you`re applying it in is too cold or you`re applying it too thick.

    Apply to one panel and after evening it out with the applicator, lightly go over the area with a clean, dry microfiber towel. This will remove any high spots.

    74 degrees in fort lauderdale - went on too thick - it leveled with MF and poly spray but this color is more susceptible to it, as my procedure of using has not changed....
