Used by itself KAIO won't last long at all. Top it with something.

And that's with Optimum Opti-Coat?



Actually, what did you use on it all the way around?

If its metal, paint, or hard plastic, its covered with Opti-Coat

Blackfire is the slickest sealant I've used on paint and wheels.

If you ever want to try a sealant that doesn't darken as much as BF, you might find that 4-Star UPP is even slicker. I used BF on the S8 before switching to UPP and the UPP is the slickest stuff I've *ever* used. Gotta refresh it fairly often to keep it that way though.

I may have to try it, in the near future. Thanks.

Well, I'd give some thought as to whether you'd like to lose the BF's darkening. I was pretty amazed by how much it did that and I can imagine some people thinking it's a really great little tweak to the final look. Some things I *want* that on, others I prefer the UPP...not really a better/worse situation.



Just mentioned the UPP as the slickness is the best I've ever experienced. When the deer incident required me to stick duct tape on the S8, I had to compromise the UPP with window cleaner before it'd stick; absolutely *zero* adhesion to the UPP, just slipped right off.
