Thumbs up Black Magic - Photos


Before waxing this area had a lot of tiny black particles from the exhaust.


The most critical area for me is the bottom of the car. This area takes a lot of abuse from mud, road debris and tar.









I tried Black Magic Wax - the #1 wax recommended by Consumer Reports. White is a difficult color to work with: the slightest bit of dirt or tar will ruin the entire shine. Any one-step wax must have superior cleaning ability. Black Magic fits the bill. For cleaning and shine, I give it a thumbs-up. The only minor annoyance is that it takes some additional elbow grease to buff. BTW my car has 44,000 miles.

Good work! White is the worst color to get a "wow" factor out of. I know since my first car was a white Civic sedan .

NOTE: use a PC to apply and remove the wax, its a pain to remove by hand.

well he shoulda clayed it before he applied the wax if he had tons of water spots. I used it on my 2004 superblack and it came out flawless and glossy. Im pleased with this product. not the best but for 10 bucks its a deal.
