As expected, the wax application and removal process went quite a bit easier on the cars that received more polishing as compared to the others, but was easy nonetheless. The Blackfire Midnight Sun however goes on easily and spreads well when applied thinly, making it very easy to remove after. By “stain” I mean they stay oily for a bit while removing until you wipe quite a bit and finally get all the residue off. Some waxes tend to be hard in removal as they “stain”, for the lack of a better word, the paint and take a while to remove unless you find the perfect time between applying and removing. Whether you follow the wipe-on, wipe-off method or let the wax sit a bit, it goes on quite easily and removes effortlessly. It lasted roughly five weeks on the Civic and a bit less on the BMW, both of which see daily driving, sit outside and get washed every 5-7 days. Durability is also pretty good for a carnauba. The good part about this wax is the look and ease of use. That said, below are my thoughts on the wax… The Good I had a chance to check the durability on the BMW and Civic after using the wax as they were personal or friend’s vehicles, whereas the others were clients’ vehicles and I haven’t seen them yet since the detail job. Both the A7 and the F430 received a 2-step paint correction after the clay bar decontamination, however, the A7 color was a dark metallic black with some brown in it whereas the F430 was a darker grey with little bit of metal flake. The Civic was in a bit better shape than the BMW and it received a clay bar decontamination followed by a light polishing with Menzerna Micro Polish SF 4500 (PO85RD) and a Lake Country Crimson Finishing Pad. The BMW paint was purely white with no metallic flake, had a little contamination that can be felt by hand and absolutely no protection on it. First car was a white 95 BMW, second was a green 1998 Honda Civic, third a six-month old, metallic black Audi A7 and lastly a dark grey 2006 Ferrari 430. By that I mean that one car was older and simply got a wash and wax, the second was clayed and lightly polished before the wax application and the other two cars had a 2-step paint correction performed before the wax application. First off, I used the wax on about four different cars/paints and three were in completely different condition. Use the Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Paste Wax and see just how great your paint can really look!īefore I go into my mixed feelings, here is a bit of info on my experiments with the wax. No matter what steps you’ve previously completed you will add significantly more gloss and depth to the paint. It is commonly applied after a coat of the Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger for maximum protection and shine. You can put it on the bare paint or apply it after sealing your paint. Apply one coat by hand with the supplied foam applicator and you’ll be sure to turn heads with this outstanding wax. After extensive testing and revisions Blackfire was able to keep this product very easy to apply and remove as well. The harder formula also offers stronger protection against abrasions and temperature change. This creates a “hard candy” like effect, which really magnifies the paint and makes it look super glossy. The addition of more carnauba gives this wax a harder appearance and feel to it. Blackfire has put as much pure Brazilian Ivory Carnauba Wax in this product as reasonably possible with gloss enhancing oils. The Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax is a premium wax from Blackfire that delivers a deeper and wetter finish then any other product previously created by Blackfire. First, as usual, is the description of the product: The Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax is a bit different in that I started experimenting with it about two months ago and is a product about which I have mixed feelings. Most, if not all, of my reviews on the Detailed Image Ask a Pro Blog revolve around raving about products I have recently come to find extremely useful or those I have been using for many years. ![]()
