Blackfire topping question

I've been using Zaino for years but I wanted to try something new. I just purchased the Blackfire Wet Diamond paint sealant and have a question on what it can be topped with. Can I top BFWD with Danase Wet Glase (the original formula - love this stuff) and Zaino Z8? My plan is to phase out my Zaino products and switch to Blackfire. Note - i'm not an detailer but someone who suffers from OCD when it comes to my cars.

Thank you.
 
General rule: you would top it with a wax like BF Midnight Sun.
Not a cleaner wax, though.
Sealants probably won't stick well.

I remember there being some debate as to whether Danase Wet Glaze contained cleaners or not several years ago, with most people agreeing to disagree.

I think this is one of those cases were you are going to be better off experimenting. Maybe do half of your hold with the Wet Glaze and watch for several weeks to a month.Look to see if you notice an increase in depth/shine from using the Wet Glaze and do you notice if that side wears out as quick.

As far as using Zaino Z8, which is a very nice product, on top of BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond, there will be no issues what-so-ever. However, when you run out of Z8, I would consider switching to BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Polymer Spray. All BLACKFIRE "Wet Diamond" and "Midnight Sun" series products feature the same tri-polymer system which ensures that while they work amazing by themselves, they work even better when used with each other.
(Crystal Seal also uses the same tri-polymer technology).

Depending on the look you are going for, you can top BF Wet Diamond AFPP with Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste (for a deeper/richer shine) or BF Crystal Seal (for a brighter, perhaps more reflective shine).

Can we officially remove Wet Diamond from the LSP list. Seems like it is never the last product on the car, so by definition..........:D
 
I still have 3/4 of a bottle left of Danase Wet Glaze. Love to look it gives and Todd is right about the talk about it being a cleaner or not a few years back, my my how time fly's these days.
 
Thanks guys. Todd you hit the nail on the head and I will use of the Z8 and then move on to BFWS Poly Spray.
 
As with most of these "glazes" that may or may not have cleaners in them I would guess you would be fine to use it over a coat of BFWD "if" you let the BFWD properly cure and only applied your glaze gently by hand. This would help to minimize the cleaning ability if there is any.
