Black Magic is the WORST stuff you can use on your tires. It's basically the same as giving your car an oil change and sloppin the leftovers all over your tires.

Believe me....your fenders and paint will thank me later :down:

That show car glaze is good stuff, I used it back in the day to hook up my grandmas ef sedan, I was just rushing to get something and it jumped out at me and I was pretty impressed, easy on, easy off, great shine. But Zymol is my favorite, easy on, easy off, very durable, shine is off the hook, and it smells damn good too:thumbup:

BTW ~

I use Meguires everything except the once in the "cars lifetime" mothers clay bar.

Meguires step 7 "show car glaze" produces insane results. It actually pics up shit out of your paint to the point where you can actually see it and have to work particularilly hard on that specific area. :thumbup: Almost as effective as a clay bar.
