Lightbulb **NEW** Black Magic Product Reviews

Today even though the weather was on and off rain I decided it was nice enough to clean up the Camaro since where I have to park it is near the tree line and 9 times out of 10 it ends up covered with pine needles and other junk.

First, I took my car to the car wash and just got the cheapest wash because the body wasnt that dirty and I wanted to try out these new Black Magic products. After the car was washed, and the loose dirt was washed off of the wheels and tires here is a picture-

Then I used the Black Magic Foaming All Wheel Cleaner

I followed the directions exactly because I wanted to get the best results.

First, spray the wheels off with a strong stream of water to rinse off the loose soil. I already had this done from the car wash.

Next, I sprayed the foaming cleaner onto the wheels and let it work for 3 minutes

Then, I wiped away the rest of the dirt with a microfiber towel (you can also use a sponge or soft cloth)

Finally, I hosed the wheels off with cool water which is the final step

Next one I tried is Black Magic Tire Wet Wax which is a new product, and claims the shine lasts for 8 to 10 weeks and provides the deepest shine of any tire dressing with minimal sling.

My tires were already cleaned and dry, so once I had the product opened up it was really easy to use and self explanatory.

Just apply the wax on the sponge and dab or wipe it onto the tires sparingly.

You dont need alot, just cover the tire. I started in one spot and went 360* around the tires until they were covered thinly but evenly.

Wait about 15 minutes before driving for the best shine, and to avoid slinging all over your paint

All in all both products were very simple to use and gave great results. I would recommend them to anyone, and I found the tire wax especially gave a much deeper shine than some other products I have tried recently.

Here we are all done

I use the same tire shine gel. Gives a great shine but is a real pain to get off of the paint if u get "sling". Definitely use sparingly. I used a lot last time because it looked good and I'm still trying to get it off of the sides of my car.

Wheels turned out great! Im usually an Eagle 1 fanboy, but those Black Magic products seem to have worked well. Oh, and shame on you for using an auto carwash...
