Can you apply this stuff to the front fascia extension (splitter)?
Front & rear bumpers?
What about the windows?

Everything except tires.....The biggest mistake you can make with the stuff is you're using too much ......there are like 20 cars in the smallest bottle they sell. Just do the math on that....One spritz for every 2 x 2 section of paint.

Thanks, Glen e

I ordered this stuff on Thursday hopefully it will come early next week.

For application:

A few drops on a chemical guys premium grade microfiber applicator is all it takes, for each panel?

It's all here and read the label. It comes with its own applicator.


There's a YouTube above… Post 26.

I have been detailing for years, waxes, spray detailers, spray waxes, etc., but this stuff is just great. Key like Glen told me, use very sparingly, probably used 30 sprays at the most, covered everything including the windows and even the wheels. Wheels were a little bit of a pain, but I am glad I did them. Just makes the Garnet Red metallic paint pop even more, gives it a slick gloss look to the paint. I applied it my garage under some daylight fluroscent bulbs, makes it easier to see and make sure you are applying and removing any high spots, has a very nice smell to it as well, reminds me of a sweeter smelling Mequiars Spray Wax. Here is a few pics. Again thanks Glen for the great recommendation!

Very nice, both. My favorite color on the C-6 and the Stang. Tied with a super glossy silver for me. Going to try the BF after my next correction. Will also try the DG 932. Using Perls now. Leaves a shine pop. But is the two bucket wash not rinseless. An Aside, Man do wish I fit better in the 6. Felt cramped in the originals too.

Thanks for the info. It's time to change some of my detail/wash habits, save time and get a pop like this.

Sorry, for some reason SSport16s pic did not make it to the quote.

Thanks! Yeah BF sealant is awesome stuff! I have learned to work smarter not harder as I get older. I enjoy detailing a lot, but when it takes hours upon hours with needing to repeat shortly after, that is when it becomes work and not fun! Yeah 2 bucket is not rinseless, rinseless is a cleaning lubricant that does not need to hosed off.

Thank you Glen for all the information. I've been using Adams water less wash. But will be going to your methods when it comes to sealing. The Blackfire looks amazing and easy to use.

Can this be applied over a wax, or do you have to strip it first?
