Default Another Quick Detail Question

There are Rejex fans, Zaino fans, Meguires fans, etc. Just curious - has anyone ever used the C-Magic they sell at the NCM? I bought a kit at the Bash in April but have not seen anyone comment about it on this Forum. The detailer worked pretty good on my C3.

Thanks!

I bought the C-Magic at the NCRS show in January and will probably never use anything else. I've tried all the others talked about on this forum (and they're all good), but I really believe the C-Magic to be the best. FYI (just in case you didn't know) If you pick up your new Corvette at Bowling Green, it is prepped with C-Magic.

'05 and still looking like new!


Also...the tire dressing is incredible stuff!

Why do you think it is the best? Reminds me a lot of Zanio, Adams, etc...I'd be interested in what sets C-Magic apart from the rest...I'm always looking for the next best thing in the wax/polish department.

The guys on the Impala SS forum used to swear by it back in the 90's.

When using most other products, I was waxing every 3 or 4 months just to keep that "deep" shine. After using the C-Magic, I've only waxed it that first time. Now if I just go over the car with the detail spray, it looks and feels, like I just waxed it. It's been about 7 months since the wax. I will say this...I've become addicted to using the C-Magic detail spray, and it's not cheap! The instructions tell you to apply wax to the whole car (including windows) before wiping it off. Then you use the detail spray to wipe the wax off. I've never done a car like that before, but I followed the instructions and was very pleased. The initial waxing calls for two coats just to insure 100% coverage. It might be a little more work the first time, but in the long run it has saved me many hours because I'm not waxing so often. I'm planning a long road trip shortly, so I will probably wax again. Not because it needs it, just because I'm **** like that...it will probably be a 2500 mile trip, and that's potentially a lot of road grime.

The tire dressing is probably the best I've used also. It doesn't leave that annoying shine that a lot of them do and there is absolutely no "sling".

I haven't tried the stuff for the leather yet (I don't know why because I like the other stuff so well), but maybe I'll try it before the trip.

I forget the price for the whole kit. When I bought mine, it was with 3 or 4 other guys, and they gave us group discount on the price, but I think the regular price was just over $100.00. You can find it at the Museum, or Ecklers sells it also...I'm not sure who else. I don't live far from Ecklers, so I buy the detailer there and they just went up to $20.00/bottle. Next order, I might shop around, but I don't know if it will be cheaper elsewhere.

I guess they have to send it "moose-back" to Canada, eh?

I can't say that's not right, because who knows who makes what anymore, but I would be surprised if that's true. I was using the Meguiar's just before the C-Magic and there is an obvious and definite difference between them!
