BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax is a colour-charged wax that combines a range of exotic natural and synthetic ingredients to give the ultimate finish on black and other dark-coloured cars. Referred to internally as Project 23, due to the twenty three months of research and development that went into its formulation, BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax started out as a simple idea, but quickly turned into an obsession for one particular member of the BLACKFIRE team. This individual's life-long infatuation with car waxes, coupled with his desire to achieve the ultimate finish on black paint, resulted in a new direction being pursued in the wax blending process. Instead of relying solely on highly-refined Brazilian carnauba wax, BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax also includes a high proportion of montan wax - a relatively rare natural wax extracted from lignite in Germany. Montan wax, when processed and refined, is known for its colour-enhancing properties (a phenomenon commonly referred to as jetting), particularly on dark-coloured surfaces. In order to push the boundaries further, BLACKFIRE's chemists also pioneered an additional colour-charging process to further enhance this jetting effect on dark-coloured paint, with the aim of not only maximising surface gloss but also producing mile-deep reflections in the finish.

To ensure that BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax would be suitable for use on daily drivers as well as show cars (i.e. that it would have durability measurable in months rather than weeks) BLACKFIRE's chemists then fused the same revolutionary super-polymers widely used across the BLACKFIRE range with the carnauba and montan wax formulation, reinforcing the already impressive level of protection afforded by this duo. The net effect of this hybridisation process is a wax that imparts a show winning finish and a more than adequate level of protection for daily drivers; BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax typically offers upwards of three months of protection on vehicles that are prepared properly (i.e. fully decontaminated and polished) first. Given the obsessive nature of the work that went into its formulation, it should come as no surprise that the final production version of BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax is crafted by hand and presented beautifully in an air-tight jar. Furthermore, in order to meet stringent quality standards, each jar is visually inspected and random testing is performed to ensure that no impurities made it through the refining and blending process.
