Blackfire BlackICE Review - Just Half A Test Episode 2

Blackfire recently unveiled a new hybrid wax, designed for darker cars. In this video I test the beading and sheeting..... and trust me, you WANT to see this! This stuff sheets like no other wax I've seen!

This video series is all about testing the beading and sheeting properties of different LSPs and bringing the results to you.

Video in link, hope you enjoy!!

P.S. Next up in this video series is Americana, stay tuned

That's pretty cool. You could dry your car with a cotton pad.

Definitely the biggest con of the wax. Way too expensive. If it was a little cheaper and wipe on wipe off wax, it would definitely be a contender for best wax ever.

I know man! I'm sure it could be used on lighter cars but it might mute the flakes :(

I just posted on Autopia if they will ever have a light colored car version of this wax ie WhiteICE lol

Maybe, one day... and hopefully they reduce the price too!

I can send you a sample if you want? Should be enough to do 1 camaro if you apply the wax as thinly as you can

Will it dull the flakes in my paint since it's targeted for black cars?

You obviously haven't seen the price for the Adam's Patriot Wax or any other high end wax out there? I think the record is well into the thousands of dollars for a wax.

No, I have not. But I dont think any wax should be that much.

If you don't think waxes should cost $150, I suggest you never google high end waxes lol

Some are worth it, most probably aren't. I'd like to see a wax in a much lower price range compete with the sheeting I have shown in this video though.

Not to mention the durability or the looks. Normally I wouldn't say to believe 5 months from a wax unless you can actually prove it, but Blackfire is a line that has proven itself over and over again. I'm sure at least 3 months is achievable

Which again, I'd like to see a much lower priced wax compete against.

Targeted for dark cars, not just black. Your car is exactly the car that will benefit from it imo
