Topping off or adding gloss to Black Fire All Finish Paint Protection

I will have two coats of black fire all finish paint protection on my white truck as of tomorrow.

I am looking for a topper to add gloss and snap after a wash and drying with a master blaster every couple of weeks or once a month. I live in Missouri so our climate is cold during the winter. Any topper will be applied outside. I am looking for something relatively easy to apply.

I am assuming crystal seal or polymer spray could be some possible choices. What are your thoughts on these or other products?
 
I'm not sure you will get much of a visible difference on white by adding either of those on top. Either will add to the durability and get you through winter. Best bet: try both and report back.

My wife has a pearl white suv and I use BF AFPP, two coats before and after winter. I've come to use crystal seal spray once a month for durability. I don't see any difference between the AFPP and the addition of cs. My wife thinks the cs improves the appearance but I don't see a difference but I'll continue to use it as I do believe it adds durability to the AFPP.

As suggested give both a try.
 
bfps and bfcs just seem to reenforce your two coats of bfwd. for a different look, try bfms or bfms spray wax as a topper. i love the look it gives.
 
I have 3 coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant on my wife's white Toyota and use the BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal Paint Sealant spray twice a month to keep it protected all the time and shiny.
 
I really like the Blackfire Wet Diamond Polymer Spray as an enhancer for the BFWDAFPP.
It is easy to use and looks fantastic adding a very nice slick gloss and level of protection for interim maintenance.
 
I have a white 2010 truck and after several different wax and sealants have come to the conclusion that what you use depends on the final look you want. If you want a nuba shine than I would go with the BF products...However if you want a bright acrylic shine ( which in my opinion is the way to go on white) I would go with Chemical Guys Spray Sealant V-7. Wipe on, walk away and you can use it as a detail spray as well after washing the truck. CG claims 5 to 6 weeks durability but with it being wipe on walk away you can cover your entire truck in about 15 minutes and do it as often as you like. No need for any lengthily flash waiting period either. I don't have anything against BF products but for making white absolutey snap I like V-7. For getting to a clean surface you might wash with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash. At the correct mixture it will strip all your wax and sealant then you can start with a clean surface.
 
I would grab some polymer spray, I use it religiously every 2 weeks after a wash. It amps up the shine and brings back that slick feel.

you could give CS a shot. awesome sealant and easy to use. as stated, the polymer spray will MAINTAIN your blackfire finish.
 
How does the slickness compare from black fire polymer spray vs black fire crystal seal? My freshly coated black fire all finish paint protection is very slick. I seem to really like that.

It sounds like folks like both of the above. I am assuming crystal seal probably is a bit more durable but for my use after a wash every few weeks both probably would be fine. Any differences on ease of application in all weather even cooler weather?
 
I ordered both crystal seal and polymer spray.

I tested both out on the roof of my vehicle after it was washed and dried.

My vehicle had bfwd sealant applied about a month ago and had lost virtually all of it's slickness. I tried both of the above and found the crystal seal had immediate slickness and after about an hour the polymer spray cured and had it's slickness but not immediate like crystal seal. After an hour I could feel no difference between the two. The polymer spray and crystal seal gained about 75% of the original slickness of bfwd sealant back. They both added only slickness and protection to my white paint. I saw no change in gloss. I imagine darker colored vehicles may see a change in gloss.

I would get yourself a bottle of Wet Glaze 2.0. You can use it as a "pure gloss enhancer" on top of your LSP. It adds a ton of gloss and slickness.
 
Just to follow up on BFWD Polymer Spray. I applied it a couple of days ago as stated above. It probably had 12 hours of dry weather before it started to rain.
The next morning I took my master blaster and blew the rain water off. Beading was excellent. The slickness factor probably dropped off about 25% from where it was prior to rain.
I'll probably apply another coat at my next wash time.

V7 is not a wowa, but a wowo sealant.
Directions:

Make sure the surface is cool to the touch before applying.
For best results, spray Hybrid V7 to any surface and then use a clean microfiber cloth to gently wipe the area clean. Flip the towel and buff to a brilliant shine.
Apply Hybrid V7 after every wash to ensure a perfect finish with long lasting protection.
Use Hybrid V7 between washes to remove dust, bird droppings, and water spots while extending surface protection.
Remember to always use a clean microfiber cloth to minimize the risk of scratching.
 
i use 3m perfect-it polish, finesse it ultra fine polish.then 3m glaze makes white stand out. clean shine
