So I sprayed it with qd and wiped it off but ended up having to polish that area of the roof again with sf4500. Just a pea size? I put a line on accident because the liquid came out too quickly and worked it into about a 3x3 foot section, (crossed vertical line application) and it was SET, it had the hardest time removing it with any MF towel I tried. I`ve read all the reviews and directions but I obviously screwed the application up. I applied with LC Foam Coating Applicator Next weekend I plan to apply Blackfire Crystal Coat to our 2nd 2015 Outback.So I used Essence on the roof of my truck yesterday and wanted to coat the roof with crystal coat.Īll work performed in the garage away from sun of course. However, after applying to a panel I sealed the applicator and suede in a zip lock bag while I did the wipe down. During application, neither of the suede squares developed any stiffness due to drying of the coating. I had to use two squares due to dropping the first one on the garage floor. I used the LC applicator covered by a square of CarPro suede microfiber. It was so easy to use and as a bonus, smells great. Even if I never apply Crystal Coat to another car, I think I will keep on using the paint prep. The paint prep left a different feel to the finish that I never experienced when using IPA wipe down. I did use the Blackfire Paint Prep before application. All I can say is "WOW." Impressive clarity over the entire car (2015 Subaru Outback). This morning there was a brief period of sunshine so I was able to move the car out of the garage. Last night I couldn't comment about the total success of my application since rain prevented me from moving the car out of the garage. I posted earlier about my first time using Blackfire Crystal Coat yesterday. Was a reason that the first times I ever used any coatings, I did a good bit of research first on each product, to learn what the orthodox methods for each were beforehand. The variability of conditions, products used, user methods I guess can all effect coating success.or failure. Is it possible it's excess product dried on top? Or some water ran down from somewhere on the car and got wiped into the coating?I perhaps hastily responded earlier, and with the same thoughts of thinking "clean paint is clean paint", but I'm certainly no chemical engineer, and my earlier assumptions could be dead wrong. True? Hard to say, to me it seems like clean paint is clean paint, but manufacturers want to sell as much product as they can so if they tell you not to but theirs maybe there is something to it? I can't really see the picture very good. They said different manufacturers use different chemical compositions to work best with their products. GTechniq tells you not to use panel wipe for other manufacturers coatings. It's hard to know when, but I have decided that my time is worth more than the money wasted on potentially unneeded, yet manufacture recommended products when it comes to coatings. Sometimes these prep products are not needed, sometimes they are. I have always used IPA wipe downs, but instead of risking issues and wasting my time I bought Eraser (even know it is IPA based). I had the same concern with CQuartz, They suggest the use of Eraser before coating. This step is key to success, because any type of polishing oils, finger prints, or other surface contaminants will prevent the coating from fully adhering to the surface. Once this has been completed, you need to cleanse the paint of polishing oils by using BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Prep. Next, polish the paint to remove any swirl marks or scratches. First, wash the vehicle using BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo, and then clay it to remove above-surface bonded contaminants such as paint-overspray, industrial fallout, bugs, and tar. Quote from the AG page for BlackFire Crystal Coat:īLACKFIRE Crystal Seal Paint Coating couldn’t be any easier to apply. AG provided decent instructions and can't address every scenario where people don't follow the instructions they provide. I wish the market info would use MUST use blackfire prep or you will experience failureIt says 'need'.
