Blackfire Crystal Seal

Blackfire Crystal Seal
Didn't want to comment about this stuff on the Topcoat F11 thread, since it is a different product.
I first heard about this stuff in these forums and figured I'd give it a try.
I've tried just about everything out there so I wanted to sleep at night. (OCD is a BITCH)
I washed my 2017 SGS Crushed Ice Pearl with Meguiar's wash pro + polishing soap using the directions on the bottle. I was shocked at how it seemed to completely strip my bike of the coat of Rejex I applied late last winter. As of yesterday, the water was beading up just like it did the day after I applied the Rejex.
After washing yesterday, the water was not beading up at all. Once I dried it off, I applied the first coat of Blackfire. Just as advertised, I applied a small amount and it went on easily and I was done in under 10 minutes with no buffing product off the bike.
My OCD was killing me because I wanted to bathe the bike with this stuff to be sure I didn't miss any spots.
This morning I gave it a second coat, and I went a little heavier than yesterday.
When I got home this afternoon, I pulled it out of the garage and it had what appeared to be a haze on it. Not sure if that was because of over application, or the 87% humidity here in NJ today, or a combo of both.
Anyway, I gave the bike a quick wipe down with a real good quality and clean microfiber towel and I must say, it looks fantastic!
It doesn't look too much better than it did, but I notice a difference in the shine. It also resists fingerprints on the paint, inner fairing, and the chrome!
I normally use bug slide in between washes, and I love it. I would highly recommend it to you all.
If this stuff works as good as people claim, it will be a home run. It's wipe on walk away sealant. It's worth the $29.99 for an 8 oz. bottle simply for the ease of use. It is supposed to last anywhere from 6 months to a year and a half. I don't believe it will last that long, but I do not have a problem with re applying it on a monthly basis.
I will see how it goes for the next few weeks and keep you all posted.
As of right now, I would recommend it.

I washed my bike today after a few days with the Blackfire on it. I am thoroughly impressed!!!
Every surface I coated seemed virtually water proofed/ water repellent.
I rinsed the soap off and hit it with the leaf blower and it was almost completely dry. Even the chrome was beading!
A quick wipe down with a drying towel, and she was all done. No spots, no streaks.
Just applied a third coat. I might have to give it a final buff after a few hours, especially on the chrome.
I'm sold!
Now waiting to try the Wolfgang deep gloss sealant.
