Blackfire Wet-Ice over Fire Reference Shine Kit
  Wet-Ice over Fire Reference
Shine Kit
This kit contains all the
products I use to create my signature, Wet-Ice over Fire shine. I've designed this kit for vehicles three years old or newer with paint
that is in "good" condition.
If
you have an older vehicle or a vehicle with neglected or severely oxidized
paint, it should be compounded after Step One, before polishing. I recommend Menzerna
PO203 Power Finish used with the Orange Power Pad.
These products are not included in this kit.
Each of the steps I go through are outlined in
this article: Creating an Wet-Ice over Fire Shine.
| At the heart of my system is
the Porter Cable 7424XP Ultimate Detailing Machine which comes with a flexible,
hook-and-loop, backing plate that allows easy pad changes. I use this machine to
polish and apply the final sealant. The machine is used to apply products.
I buff off residues by hand using a Microfiber Buffing Cloth (included in this
kit.) |
 |
| Step One - Remove paint
contamination and create a smooth paint surface. |
| Paint
contamination can be felt as a "rough or gritty" texture on the
paint's surface and can lead to tiny rust spots. This contamination can not
be removed by washing, waxing and/or polishing. I start with our BLACKFIRE
PolyClay II Kit to QUICKLY and SAFELY remove surface contamination and make
gritty, rough and bumpy paint smooth as glass. |
|
| This kit includes one, 8 oz. bar
of PolyClay, a 16 oz. spray bottle of Clay Lubricant, two Microfiber Wipe Cloths
and instructions.
Step Two - Polishing,
the fiery shine begins here.
|
| After creating a smooth paint
surface with the clay bar and lubricant, I polish the finish to maximize surface
gloss and visually reduce minor swirls and imperfections. Use
BLACKFIRE
Gloss Enhancing Polish with the
6-1/2 inch,
CCS White Polishing Pad.
Apply the polish by machine. Wipe off
residues by hand using a Microfiber Wipe Cloth (included).
|
|
Step Three - Laying the
proper foundation. |
The foundation of
Wet-Ice over Fire Shine is BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond, All Finish Paint
Protection.
This is a paint-friendly, water-based, sealant formulated with the latest
generation of German, acrylic, super polymers.
Wet Diamond, All Finish
Paint Protection creates a vibrant, high-energy, laser-sharp, base
shine.
|
 BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection is
now super-charged with Polycharger!
No mixing or blending is required. The
Polycharger technology is built-in! Polycharger boosts slickness and shine
while extending the protection and durability. Polycharger does this by
interlocking or cross-linking polymers to create a barrier of invisible
amour with tremendous strength.
 |
|
Wet Diamond, All Finish Paint Protection is applied by machine
with a 6-1/2 inch,
CCS, Gold, Super Soft Finishing Pad.
Allow a haze to form and buff to a brilliant shine by
hand using a Perfect Shine Buffing Cloth (included). This coat needs to cure for
eight hours
|
|
Putting Wet-Ice over the
Fire.
|
Wet-Ice over Fire Shine is a
liquid wetness that ripples on the surface while still allowing the depth
and energy of the paint to radiate through. You've already created the
fire by polishing and sealing with a coat of Wet Diamond, All Finish Paint
Protection. The ice topping is two coats of BLACKFIRE
Midnight Sun, Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax.
|
|
 This one-of-a-kind wax is
specifically designed to be used on top of All Finish Paint Protection. It
creates a rippling liquidity on the surface and enhances the illusion of
depth. When two coats of Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax are applied
over All Finish Paint Protection, the resulting shine is wetness over
energy, Wet-Ice over Fire!
Midnight Sun Paste Wax is buffed off "wet" before the wax
fully dries. I like to wipe a thin layer of wax over 1/4 to 1/3 of the car
(i.e. hood and 2 fenders) then go back and buff to a bright shine. It wipes on like butter
and buffs off easily with a Microfiber cloth. When one area is done, wax and
buff the next area until the entire vehicle has a deep, rich shine.
The average vehicle can be waxed in 20
minutes or less.
|
 For
touch-ups, we've included a spray bottle of
BLACKFIRE
Deep
Gloss Spray Sealant. Bird droppings and insect smear... no problem.
Just spray and wipe and in one step you've removed
the contamination and left a bright, protective, BLACKFIRE shine.
This spray contains the same
super polymers found in All Finish Paint Protection and BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Paste Wax.
Use after washing or anytime to restore that
“just detailed”, wet-look sparkle.

Customer comments: "I just tried the Wet-Ice over Fire
method on my 2004 Honda and I love the look.
My car looks like a moving waterfall! Great
products! I used the Porter Cable 7424 for the
very first time so even an amateur can make
their car look great. I love the idea of using
one brand to do everything. I'm so happy with
the results that I have been telling everyone. BLACKFIRE is what I'm going to be using on my
car from now on."
