BLACKFIRE PolyClay is a premium synthetic detailing clay that removes bonded contamination from paint, restoring gloss and a smooth finish, with out scratching or dulling the paint's surface. It is the first true step in creating an award winning shine that snaps heads around in admiration. BLACKFIRE PolyClay Bar removes what day to day driving puts into your vehicle’s paint.


Instructions


First inspect your paint by feeling the surface. Use your bare hand or for more sensitivity, place your hand inside a plastic baggy. The paint should feel smooth to the touch. If you feel grit, grain, or a pebble-like texture you need BLACKFIRE Poly Clay.

BLACKFIRE Poly Clay is a huge 200 gram bar. It can be cut in half or quarters for more usage.

Flatten BLACKFIRE Poly Clay into a patty. To hold the clay let it rest where your fingers meet your hand.

Clay a section at a time. Spray an ample amount of BLACKFIRE Clay Lubricant on to the surface.

Hold the clay as described above and gently pass it over the paint's surface. As you work across the section of the paint you can actually feel the paint become smoother. Continue until the paint feels as smooth as glass.

Dry the section with a Cobra microfiber buffing towel.

Before claying the next area inspect the clay by looking at it. The contamination removed will become imbedded into the surface of the clay. If it still looks fresh continue to the next section. If the clay looks discolored or contamination is noticeable, fold the face of the clay against itself to expose a clean section. Press into a patty and continue to the next section.

Alternatively you can use BLACKFIRE Clay Cleaner & Extender prior to folding the clay in half to remove the contamination and extend the usable life of the clay.

Continue claying until the entire vehicle feels smooth to the touch.


Over time, particularly if you are not cleaning the clay, it will loose its effectiveness or become so soiled that you risk scratching the paint. Discard the clay at this time and use another piece. If you drop the clay on the ground discard as well.

To store your clay after use mist with with BLACKFIRE Clay Lubricant and place back in the BLACKFIRE Poly Clay Container. Snap shut.

WHere would you say the "grade" of the clay lies? Is it as fine as Pinnacle Ultra Poly? or is it more in the area of CM blue / XMT Speed Clay?

Its definitely more aggressive then Pinnacle Ultra Poly and maybe more than XMT. It's about as aggressive as you can get with out marring the paint.

This is fantastic. As I have been looking for a clay that fits this exact position between Ultra Poly and the red aggressive clays out there.

thanks as always Todd!
 
todd do you think this clay would work even better if i used iron x soap gel before or after using poly clay. which method of application would give primo results. i wanna do it right come spring...
 
This review helps out alot, I am looking for some new clay and I'm pretty sure I'll be giving this a shot, I also like the fact that it's about 5 dollars cheaper than Clay magic

Iron X soap gel is pretty mild so it probably won't help to much prior to claying towards the end result. It may make the claying go faster as it will loosen/remove some contamination.

I personally would use it afterward, as the clay removes all the above surface contamination which, in theory, should let the Iron X soap gel attack anything below it (now that it is exposed).
 
IME, it is slightly more aggressive then the BLUE while still not marring the surface. It is the most aggressive clay grade I have used that doesn't not mark the surface.

Very interesting. I may have to give this a second look then. Thanks for the info.
 
Now if I win the BF sample contest, I'll have to buy me some of this so I can report on the clay extender sample.

:lol2:
 
And dont forget the clay extender/cleaner as well..... Sure will it prolongs the life of any* claybar. I have bought these already but havent use it yet. The first clay i have ever used was the mothers. How does this clay compare with mothers gold class yellow clay?

(+4)

Edit: i have asked this question before and i remember someone told me that BF POLYCLAY II is more aggresive than mothers yellow....but it is not as aggressive as others may thought that could mar the paint n anyway with proper lubrications.
