Default C Magic?

Does anyone use this stuff? I did a search on it and came up with some info on it but it was from awhile ago. A friend of mine used it on his newer style black Camaro SS and I thought it looked great. I couldn't see any swirl marks. He said it was very easy to work with as well. Any feedback on it would be appreciated. Thanks!

I use it on my '07 LMB and love it. I don't notice it covering swirl marks but I do get a deep wet looking shine and good comments from others on the shine. Easy on and easy off. Durability, no comment as I tend to apply C Magic frequently (therapy) and don't drive in bad weather. Have tried many many products over the years and think very highly of C Magic!

I have been using C Magic for the last two years. I love it. I get very good results and would highly recommend it.

This is the only product the corvette museum will use on the corvettes in the museum.

Give it a try.You WILL be happy with the results.

I think their wax and spray are excellent. Very user friendly and look great over a well prepped surface.

I don't see anything that would make this any better than what you can order on line.

There are so many liquid "waxes" that look good and may even be less money.

However, while the site does mention it for a quick second, (unless the car is brand new and defect free) proper prep is what will give you that shine you are looking for.

And I do realize that if one has never seen what is really possible by properly detailing the paint a product like this may be "good enough"

just my 2c

C-Magic is an excellent product. My car was detailed with it when I bought it and I use their products.
Their detail spray is fantastic, I need to buy it by the gallon....
The paint always looks wet, and super glossy.
Easy to apply easy to wipe, I use all their products and see no reason to change. When you are on a good thing, stick to it!!
Do yourself a favor and get some, you wont be disappointed.

Well I broke down and picked up the wax and spray detailer combo along with the tire dressing. I spoke Kermit Dye and he is a great guy to talk to. He assured me I would not be disappointed with his product and told me they even offer a money back guarantee if I'm not satisfied so how can you beat that? I had every intention to wash and wax my car today but rain has precluded me from doing that. I will post my results upon completion of the first application. Thanks for the replies!

Kermit and his wife Shirley are first class. I always enjoy speaking with them at shows and even on the phone. They will stand behind their product.

I do believe the C-magic is better than Maguires, but that is a good product also. I think c magic is eaiser to use.
