Default Zaino vs. Balckfire .... Is there even a comparison????

HI,

Just curious if anyone has used the Blackfire system. It sounds very similar to the zaino system. Application is very similar as well as the layering effect you can achieve. Just wondering if it is even worth looking at.

Thanks
Drew

I've used both blackfire tire shine products (tire gel and tire wipes). Let me just say, the gel sucks. The gel comes flying off the tire as soon as you hit 30 mph. Thats after letting it dry for hours. The wipes are awesome. It's so easy to apply and it doesn't come off. I'll put it on, a week later after driving in rain a couple of times, it's still shining. My two cents...

Never used the blackfire system, but Zaino has been rated the best synthetic car products out, so why bother with something else?

i have not used blackfire, but do know that it is a system very similar to zaino.
the only difference that i know of is that this board has concluded that zaino can be sandwiched with carnuba (carnuba over zaino, and then zaino over carnuba), although i have not tried this yet. blackfire can not be sandwiched.

In the Guru Reports Wax Test, Blackfire rated a C+, while Zaino rated a A-. If you want to go synthetic, go with the best, Zaino.
