Default Blackfire?

I was just curious if anyone's tried Blackfire yet? If so, what are your thoughts?

If you are looking for feedback/reviews on CMA's latest release, Blackfire, I would suggest that you try this web site: http://autopia-carport.com/

Several members have given Blackfire a try, so you should find some insight there.

I have not tried it myself. Can't see spending the money when I am pleased with what I use now. :seeya

Been testing it for about a month, it has very little durablity, I personally think Meguiar's Gold Class lasts longer. JMO

I've been testing Blackfire on my friend's car for about three weeks now. Initial shine is pretty impressive. It gives a nice wet-look, similar to Zaino but not as glossy. However, even with over 5 coats, there is some loss in shine and total loss of slickness after just one wash, whereas Zaino just seems to look better and better as time goes by. Furthermore, people over at Autopia have been complaining about the amount of dust it attracts. It attracts more dust than a traditional wax!

It loses slickness & shine after one wash and is a dust magnet...Hmmm, sounds to me like it's loaded with silicone oil.
