Nope. But I have been thinking about ordering it, as I have heard good reviews of it. Might just order the ice over fire kit. Undecided at the moment.

i have never used it, but i've heard alot of good stuff about it and i think it gives a concours show type of finish, but may not be that durable for a dd car.

i only use blackfire products on my GPW and love it, i just use finishing polish, gloss enhancing polish and wet diamond paint protectant (layer a second coat after a day of curing for the first coat). all applied with a porter cable 7424. i have a mirror finish and would post a pic but i dont know how. then i use the deep gloss spray after every wash in between full details. couldn't be happier with the results.

I used the entire Fire over ice process and even though Silverstone doesnt shine like darker colors it turned out unbelieveable. 2 coats of Wet Diamond followed by 3 coats of Ivory Carnauba. I have done some show cars with this process and the owners were very pleased. Also, order the Blackfire spray for touch ups as it really enhances and prolongs the finish. If you want extra durability use some Klasse acrylic before the paint sealant. It does take time to cure but it is worth the wait.

Proper Auto Care has a deal where you send in a can of your old wax for $20 off the Blackfire carnuba. Not sure if its a good deal or not but it may be useful for those of you interested in checking it out. No affiliation but I've ordered from these guys before...good prices.

Use it. Love it.

If you have metallic.. the Blackfire AFPP followed by Midnight Sun makes UNREAL flake pop. Haven't tried the 'nuba alone but I really do like it a lot. Easy on/ easy off and smells great!
