BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating ?

I am going to say yes, and around 1hr for second coat. But this is based on my use of other Quartz based glass coatings like CQ & CQUK. So I could be off.

ya. I noticed that.

I also wonder how long the product is good once the bottle is opened. Most others say around 6 months and is one of the reasons they sell in the small bottles supposedly.
 
From the reviews I have read, one coats seems to be enough. We won't know about durability until a year or so unfortunately. I guess someone is just going to have to do 2 coats and report back. Ron?

Troy, I would also guess 6 months once opened. Maybe a year at best. Maybe Ray (Vega) can comment??
 
The most you want to apply is 2 coats Ron, give it a few hrs between and then your done. P.S Then go get some beer and some BBQ!:cool:
 
Just curious about this coating (& paint coatings in general). How hard really is this type of coating, & how well will it protect against marring & swirls? Also, can you (or do you need to) apply a wax or sealant on top of a coating, & does this improve the finish or protection? I typically use the BlackFire All Paint sealant & Midnight Sun wax combo on my white Audi SQ5, & I really love the results. How does this coating compare? Also, I typically do a full polish routine every spring. Despite being very careful & meticulous with me (two bucket) washing, I still find I get a moderate degree of mild marring after a few months. Would a coating minimize this? Although I don't mind (& actually enjoy) doing the polishing, it really is a big job, especially on the very hard Audi paint. Thanks.

IMHO - It would help the marring situation, but not get rid of it completely. Just put it on my Son's car and IT LOOKS GREAT !

I really don't believe the "bang it with a lighter" shows some coatings do.

Will it help? Probably
Will it stop marring completely? Probably not.

This coating is a "Just wash and dry it and walk away type, from what I've heard, it doesn't like stuff on top of it. Will that stop me from trying? Probably, maybe, ummm errr........
