I will be anxious to see the results....They sure have spent alot of their money on marketing... Hope their product stands up to the test. Have you tried Zaino?

I ordered Blackfire as well. I am going to try applying over top of the Zaino I've carefully built up.

Sounds like the Blackfire will be slightly less reflective and give a deeper color tint than Zaino, which is what I am hoping for.

I thought you were supposed to completely strip everything off and then apply Blackfire

jps, Bioyuki is absolutely correct. Do not attempt to layer Blackfire over Zaino. It will not work at all. This has already been brought up on the Autopia detailing site and it is a big no-no if you want to get great results from Blackfire.

NSXNEXT and BIOYUKI:
I know its been asked at Autopia forum, but to the best of my knowledge nobody has tried BF over Zaino... its just too new. For certain you need to strip wax products off before BF, I'm just not convinced (yet) that you need to remove a polymer coating.

Since they are both polymer based sealants it is possible that they are compatable, and also possible they will not work well together.

I will start with a small section, and if it turns out they don't agree with each other I will strip the whole thing and start over. But to strip Zaino you need to use a solvent (dishwashing liquid won't do too much to Zaino). I'd prefer to avoid using SMR or isopropal on my clear coat finish.

I will let you know how/if it works out for me.

With Zaino being as great a product, I would like to read about Blackfire and see if even the description stands up to Zaino. Anyone have a link?
