Absolutely! That's one of the great things about this product. It goes on everything (Windows,trim,wheels etc) like glen said no tires though

I am sold on Blackfire Polish and sealant and the Crystal Seal. Redo'ed about two months ago, started with Mcguires 205, two passes of polish, and two coats of Crystal seal. Since then I've fully washed/shampooed (Honeydoo Snow Foam) washed 4 times and dried with blower.
I took car to local muscle car show last night and got several comments on shine and won club's top prize. Thanks Glen E!

Congrats Burly

How long does it typically take to do the entire car? I'm assuming g just do one panel at a time? Never have used any sealer before. Is it better than wax?

It is far easier than wax because you don't buff off. You wipe it on with an applicator and walk away.Go to YouTube and type in blackfire Crystal seal and watch a few videos ....I can do a car 20 minutes

I did a polish/seal then crystal seal on my rims this weekend and if you have glossy/painted rims this stuff works freaking wonders.

Do you have to clay and Polish first or can you just use the crystal?

I use the Speedy Sponge instead of clay, but I would do it first. My understanding is the Blackfire Polish is chemically compatible with Crystal Seal. I suppose you do without. I have done three different vehicles so far and results are great.

Here is my method to do full polish/seal. Thick Dawn wash/rinse, clay with dawn soapy water, rinse again, dry with blower, doing one panel at a time wipe with alcohol, apply polish with orbital and White pad, buff with microfiber towel, apply polish with orbital again, buff any high spots, apply crystal with very soft pad, let dry for a hour or so, buff high spots, second coat of Crystal. It's a lot of work but results are great and shine lasts.

Just the first time. After initial surface prep, I just wash and wipe on seal every 4-6 months, as said above, about 20 min or so.

Download the docs in my signature, it's the how to step-by-step. It's the tools and procedure you use , rather than the products , that makes a good detail Crystal just happens to be the easiest way to get a good detail and get back out driving.

A pretty good vid of application:

is the spray and non-spray the same? I dont mind putting in extra work to get a better result.

The is no " non spray", dunno what you are looking at. Black fire crystal seal is a 4 oz spray bottle.

I have some crystal seal on the way right now! Can't wait to try it out.

My mistake, there is a Crystal Coat Paint Coating.. Guess that is different.
