Default Blackfire Crystal Coat

Had some time before barbecuing to apply a coat of Blackfire Crystal Coat. Easy on, light buff. Looks good enough to keep.

Looks real good. Some questions:

1. Apply by hand or machine?
2. Paint correction or polish before application?
3. Is that product wipe on, buff out, or is there a cure time?

This is my 991 after Zaino wash and Zaino Clear Seal.

Apply by hand. Very light coating goes a long way.

I always do at least 2 full details per driving season, clay, polish, seal, correction if needed.

This coating is new to me. I also have their ceramic coating which I haven't done yet. This is a light wipe multiple directions. No buffing required but I level any excess with a soft plush micro towel. I let it sit a few hours or overnight.

Makes the car a dream to clean. Really easy and doesn't break the bank. I apply right over the Xpel.

Very nice. I'm a big fan of Zaino products.
