Failed Review - BlackFire Content

[Swanicyouth]

So, this was supposed to be a review of 1Z Anti-Insekt. But, you will see what happened.

I`m not usually one to "clean bugs" off my car. I`ll just wash the whole car. But, the bugs are as bad as they are going to get here in PA - although I know they aren`t Florida bugs. My car was pretty clean - it was just plastered with bugs:

***Disclaimer - this is all on the clear bra, which I know isn`t perfect. The white you see on the edges is the edges lifting - not wax. I`m not super concerned about the clear bra not being perfect, as it`s a protection device that is easily replaceable. It looks fine from a few feet.









So, knowing how this will go (water will get somewhere I don`t want it to get)... I decided to first pressure wash the area using DI water opposed to tap water:



Last week I applied another coat of BF MS to the whole car, including the clear bra:



What I found after pressure washing was, none of the bugs stuck to the BF MS. No Anti-Insekt was necessary. They just flew off. 98% of the bugs and guts were gone. All I had to do was grab some waterless wash (GDIUDJ) and a towel and wipe off 2 tiny spots...



After pressure washing - no wiping or chemicals used:





Then, I also learned a long time ago that wiping black cars dry will show marring that is visible. So, I always use DI water and dry with air:



Finished...







So, the moral of this story is PA bugs don`t stick too well to BF MS and no chemicals or even soap was required to remove all the bugs. Also, I highly recommend anyone interested in detailing with a dark car to look into getting some type of DI water set up, a Master Blaster and/or a Sidekick. It really makes things easier and gives you better results with less work.

MS=1 Bugs=0

I LOVE MS. My favorite wax.

Nice unintentional review! The bugs are getting bad in this area.

Great review and I would agree with MS and bug protection. After my spring detail which finished with WD and CS, I applied a coat of MS to my front bumper, hood, and side mirrors. I don`t have a pressure washer, but most bugs and guts will fly off with just my hose and firehose nozzle. Since I don`t clean them off right away and only during my weekly washings, i do have to hit some of the spots with the B&T sponge (sunbaked spots). I`m planning to hit these areas with MS at least every month to keep a good layer of protection on there.

Very nice! Is that a blackfire midnight wax removal towel I see on top of your spray bottle? I have a few of these towels and realy like them a lot.

No. It`s from Microfiber Tech. I think it`s called a Hairy Bear, Fuzzy Monkey, a Shaggy Dog ?? - or something like that.

Ian sent me one as a sample. He said it was good for waterless washes or quick detailing

The bugs were so thick tonight it sounded like it was raining on my ride home tonight! I have the same experience as you with my truck. On cars that are not "maintained" as well as most of ours bug removal can be quite a chore!
