couple of people looked at it and all said Black Magic gives a deeper wet look.

However here is a closer look...

The Black Magic runs where Meguiar's doesn't... But at the end of the day, I think I like the foam application better, but I think both Black Magic and Meguiar's shin better than Armor All Foam.

I did couple of deliveries... upon delivery, the runs were gone and it shined extremely well...

There's a new product out that doesn't give it that wet look but gives it the new tire (matte) look. Could you do some comparisons w/ that vs. One of the "wet" look products. I haven't seen anything but in the commercial for it.

Actually this (Adam's Polishes - V.R.T. Vinyl, Rubber, & Tire Dressing 16oz CD-003 $12.95) (http://www.detailaddict.com/product_info.php?products_id=43) does just that. :)

you can cut it by mixing it with water. :)

I personally used meguiars on customers cars but after starting black magic i found through same application method and same amount it had a nicer, wet looking showroom shine especially for black cars. I leave it up to the customer though iono how you got that shine with the meguiars when I apply tit looks more like the orange cars matte finish on the tire. But good comparison nonetheless :)

I've been using Chemical Guy's Extreme VRP. It is dry to the touch, doesn't run, not greasy and leaves a satin finish - not high gloss.

yeah, same with Adam's VRT. I've heard that Adam uses the same manufacture as CG so a lot of products are very similar.

Just about EVERY off the shelve product I've seen would run. The trick is to give it a quick wipe down after it sits in for a while. this would of course reduce the amount of shine, but also reduce/eliminate the sling and run.

i never use gel, i hate gel...

Yes, many of the products share the same descriptions and names. CG will manufacturer custom products and relabel for many brands.Â* SmartWax, Tropi Care, Danase, Auto Magic are some others that are made by them. Just because they are made by CG doesn't necessarily mean they are 100% the same but usually they're similar. That said, I've heard Adam's has very good customer service. :)

I don't like the Gels... back in the days I thought Meguir's Endurance Gel was good but lots of better stuff now. Spray tire dressings are messy. If I use it, I spray an applicator to apply.

Yes, Adam is great, I've meet him in person and we chat frequent. :)

Gel usually gives a lot of slings so I don't use it and brake dust sticks to it like there is no tomorrow... I usually spray directly onto the tires, but wipe down after. Unless I use the VRT, which is thicker, then I use a sponge as applicator.
