Default Black Magic

Makes some of the best products I've ever used in my 14 years with cars. I used their tire shine over a week ago and they are still shiny as hell. Today I just sprayed down my engine with their 2-in-1 engine cleaner/shiner and it looks brand new. Didn't even have to scrub, just spray on/hose off. I didn't take any pictures because it's too dark out but I'll try tomorrow. Anyways, just a friendly fyi.

I've used almost every other tire shine and most will go away after a couple days, sometimes leaving them brown'ish looking.

their spray dtailer is absolute garbage. its not an easy spray on, wipe off like meguires or mothers, you have to really rub and constantly turn the towel over because its so greasy and hard to remove. their tire stuff is OK but its real greasy too and slings all over the place.

Yes.. just a small trickle, enough to get the residue off. I've done that with all my cars, usually avoiding the electrical stuff.

Some pictures. It's not "omg I'm blind" shiny but compared to what it was before (some weird green ****, mouse turds from where they had a winter home, grease, dirt, etc), I'm impressed.

I was pulled over for it in a previous car and had a cop rattle off that law to me. He said you only need one reflective red surface on the rear of your automobile. I'm sure joe schmoe police boy could pull me over if he wanted to now, but I would win in court. All that aside, when I hit the brakes I want the 16 year old girl on her cell phone behind me to know it anyways.
