Blackfire question

**bill buxton** · 08-03-2009, 05:14 AM

Is the bfwd enough alone with 1-2 coats or should it be topped with wax?

I know some use a topper with a sealent but is it shiney enough standing alone on the paint?

Yes Bill, 2 coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond is effort to last 3-6 months without using wax. But if you preferred wax then it`s fine to top the sealant with it. The Sealant will out last the wax and give you the protection you need. The sealant will have a awesome shine and slickless to it also.

It`s fun to wax, that`s why I top with a nuba. Blackfire will easily stand by itself.

:White Horse:

But, if you want to put Midnight Sun on top of the sealant then it`s perfectly fine Bill..:thumbup:

Hi Bill,

Most of the time the only reason you would want to top a polymer with wax to give it depth making it warmer looking. Which makes it look great, but there is a drawback to that, and that is if you apply a Natural Wax on top of a polymer you wont be able to layer polymer on top again, unless you remove the Natural Stuff first, but you can always keep layering the natural wax and when it wears out the Polymer is under it.

I think you should top it off with Midnight Sun for stunning results!!!

I may try and top it with a nuba to see what it looks like, but I happen to like the looks of Wet Diamond by itself.

I know the wax was an option and would have to be stripped before I could add more bf thanks for the heads up though.

I gotta try the stuff out when it gets here to see if its a needed application. what do you fellas strip wax with? remember this is only for paint that needs no correction. Some say apc- some say dawn whats the right answer here. I also know most apc washes off hard so that`s not gonna be my first choice.

Thanks guys for the input...

There is a test in the UK where they show that acetone was the only product that completely removed the wax they where using, kind of crazy. Washing with Dawn (and allowing the dawn to set for a couple minutes) should get you where you need to go. I have used Dawn, APC`s, Degreasers, Alcohol, and various solvents, and each will work.

If you have Isopropyl Alcohol, then I would give that a shot first. Spray and wipe, like a detail spray. It will remove the majority of the wax quickly. If not you can try Dawn.
