Default black magic

Does this Black Magic wax suck or is it just me?

I used it on my sportbike and tried it out on the redline and on both counts it leaves a horrible greasy residue behind that doesn't wipe off. Looks like I tried to wax the car with WD40 or some sheet!

Now I'm gonna have to use Dawn and wash the pi$$ out of it to remove the crap.

I also have some Eagle One wax, is that crap too? I haven't tried it yet. Guess this time I should try a nice SMALL area instead of the whole roof


I used some kind of wax many many mannny years ago that when you wiped it off, it came off nice and neat in a white powdery/dusty type of residue that kinda made a dusty mess but the end result was nice and grease free.

Honestly I think it was a Turtle wax paste???

I have 2 full bottles of wax now that probably both suck now I gotta buy a 3rd

Zaino is out but I've heard that Meiguirs Gold is good? Does it leave any greasy crap behind?

The Eagle one Nano Wax is excellent. I have used that many times since they sent me a free bottle. It does not leave any greasy residue and if you have light swirl marks it blends them in pretty good.

Meguirs NXT is also very good, in fact all of their line is excellent.

Why don't you give Autoglym "Ultra Deep Shine" and try in conjunction with their "Body Shampoo and Conditioner". "Ultra Deep Shine" was in development for seven years before release and testing in Europe. Specifically designed for Dark Color cars. Had some 50+ layer of Zaino before making the switch. Easy to apply and remove. You can read about Autoglym products at: www.autoglym.com or www.properautocare.com

The only good Black Magic product is the tire gloss
