BFWD vs WGDG

[classofshine]

Blackfire white diamond vs Wolfgange paint sealant, anyone every do a side by side. I really like the WGPS, easy on and off, durability is nice and it almost looks like a carnuba. Input?

[Todd@RUPES]

Both are really great quality, premium class paint sealants. I think at the level it comes down to preference, and I have my bias. I would be interested in hearing other opinions though.

I have BFWD in my possession. Waiting for the spring to apply it. Maybe i should pick up some WGDGPS and do a side by side comparison? I`m sure both are great. Wouldn`t be surprised if you couldn`t tell the difference.

mwtaco that`s exactly what i`m think also. I would still like to try it out though. The WG stuff is pretty darn nice and it would be very hard to improve on it imo.

I love Blackfire but never tried the WG. I traded for a sample of WG at one time and regifted it before using it. Just looking at the product it seemed similar to BF. I have heard no complaints on either and i think it comes to preference as Todd said. Although I believe BF is cheaper and works amazingly. My .02: go with BF.

I`m a bfwd fan. That said, from what I`ve heard you can`t go wrong with either.

The Blackfire sealant is 10.00 a bottle cheaper than the Wolfgang paint sealant. Both are 16oz bottles 29.99 verses 39.99.

Strictly my own opinions here, but they seem very similar in use and result.

• Wolfgang is definitely thicker, my BFWD is on the runny side
• Wolfgang has a weird scent, but I prefer it to BFWD
• BFWD is considerably less expensive
• BFWD might stretch further since it is thinner, but that`s just a guess
• Side by side, I`d be willing to bet 99.999999% of people couldn`t tell the difference.
• Never tried Menz Powerlock, but heard so much about its similarity to BFWD that I`d be interested to see how it does.

Again,these are my opinions comparing the two side by side. Given their similarity, once my WGDGPS is gone, I`ll probably stick with BFWD.

I`ve used Wolfgang since I started detailing several years ago. So far I`ve not found any products that I like better. They seem to have top quality products no matter which product you get. I`ve never tried the Blackfire products yet, but will soon. Waiting on a good sale.

Time for a face off. Looks like there are several guys in this thread that could be up to the challenge.

I would agree that WG is thicker than BF or PL. PL is almost like water so very easy to use less.

My observations:

WG - like adding a layer of gloss to the paint. It can make paint flaws more obvious to me. It lets your true paint show

PL - look is closer to WG than BF in terms of shine but seems to have better hiding ability

BF - leaves a warmer more complex coating look with better hiding than the others

These were comparisons based upon application to my Dakota.

I have both BFWD and a sample of WGDGPS. I have yet to use the WG though. I will definitely do a 50/50 on the hood of a vehicle as a test.

[rzatch]

Cool I`ve been hoping somebody would. Do you have Fuzion and MS to top them with also?

[TroyScherer]

Yes, I have both WG Fuzion and BF Midnight sun!!! I will defintly add a test section where I top the sealants with there respective Nuba mates...

[Gurge]

I`ve never done a side by side but I have used both

more than happy to use either one frankly

I guess looks is personal preference. I really find the two to be pretty similar.

HOWEVER I really think BFWD is the easiest sealant to remove that I`ve dealt with. So if I had to pick one or the other I think blackfire takes it for that reason

regarding price, if you`re a smart shopper you will occassionally find a great deal on either product to make it worth your while.
