I was contacted by a dealer who purchased a 2012 Tucson sight unseen. It was destroyed inside and out. I ended up working on it in my bike shop for 6 evenings straight. I didn't take a lot of pics because I wasn't planning on posting anything about it until the last minute when I decided I wanted to use Black Ice on it. Here is a few shots of some paint damage before I started.
I ended up going with SIP on the rotary and Power Finish on the GG6, then applied Black Ice for the first time. I have to thank dd1101 for the sample. Black Ice applied in typical Blackfire fashion..like butter. Removal was a bit more difficult than I expected, but was still very easy. I wasn't expecting the level of gloss and depth that it produced at all.
The next morning it was raining off and on so I couldn't get any sun shots, and I was in a rush to get it delivered, but I did manage to get a couple outside shots.
This didn't impress me nearly as much as what happened next. It started raining on the way there, and needless to say I was sickened because I knew this car was going to look like crap by the time I got there. I was shocked to see that other than the tires and a little on the plastics, it still looked as good as it did when I left home with it. Water beads all over, the sides were almost dry, etc. I decided to play a little, and filled a cup full of water and dumped it on the hood.
It started pouring while I was inside bs'ing with the dealer, and as I walked out I got one last shot of the hood during a full blown storm.
Needless to say, I'm beyond impressed with Black Ice. I'm not one to spend that kind of money on ANY 1 product, but I made an exception for this one and purchased some the next day. I've used it on many vehicles since, always with the same results. Its a home run in my book :rockon
