Blackfire New Car Kit - interesting observation
I purchased the BF New Car Kit in Oct.
http://ep.yimg.com/ay/autogeek/black...-car-kit-1.gif
That was a nice kit which consists of:
1. Professional 5 Gallon Wash Bucket Blackfire
2. 16 oz. BFWD Conditioning Shampoo
3. 2 oz. BF Total Eclipse Tire Gel
4. 4 oz. BF Interior Cleaner
5. 3 oz. BFMS Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax
6. 3 Supreme 530 Microfiber Towels, 16 x 16 inches
7. Grey Supreme Micro-Chenille Wash Mitt
Upon receiving my package, the items listed above are well organized in the bucket.
I believe most users are familiar with the chemicals in this kit set.
Overall this is tremendous value consider the paste wax alone would cost $29.99 when purchased alone.
However I would like to share with forum members that the BF bucket does not fit a grit guard well.
The grit guard got stuck at about 1/3 from the bottom.
So if you are using this bucket for car wash purpose, this might not be your best choice.
By the way, did I made a comment on Blackfire facebook but they simply deleted my comment?

I have one of their buckets and my grit guard from another bucket fit just fine

They ignored my complaint (and everyone else`s) about the crystal coat being a crummy coating that should be replaced or substituted.
Auto geek and autopia seem to have excellent customer service but when you get the blackfire team they just blow it off it seems. It`s unfortunate cause they offer some good deals on their website at times. Probably just best to have Paul price match here

I have two buckets from Lowes and the Grit Guards do not go all the way to the bottom.....I prefer it that way. The Grit Guard does not spin, stays nice and tight, and I`d rather have more water under it than over it

Thanks for sharing your experience, personally I actually prefer my grit guard fitting that way, as it`s snug in place and it further separates the dirt from your wash media, actually on the buckets I have where it does all the way to the bottom I stack two grit guards in there for safety/paranoia haha. But that`s just my personal opinion and I can understand where you might want it to go further down. The only time I`d probably like for it to be lower is if I`m doing a rinseless wash.

I`ve used Crystal Coat about 50 times on customer cars and I personally love the product. Probably since I get fresh bottles to use I have never had any issues with it, hopefully they can modify the formula so that it isn`t so sensitive to moisture/oxygen and everyone can enjoy it like I do.
Besides that, I am always happy to Price Match :D
Re: Blackfire New Car Kit - interesting observation
I do appreciate you stepping up and actually commenting a lot of times in this world comments like this just get swept under the rug
I started a thread Sunday about my crystal coat actually working again. Weirdly it did after fighting it several times randomly over the last couple years. Hopefully don`t jinx myself and it not work again next time. Maybe weather was perfect ?
