    Black Magic Matte Tire Finish

    I bought this a few days ago to see how it would work after reading a couple times that it doesn't sling and offers a deacent shine. I must say I was dissapointed. I did one tire just because I wasn't a 100% sure on the whole "no sling guarantee" factor. Sure enough after driving for 20...

    Cmax wants 122.00 dollars for a 3M packing plate ($64 and change) and $20.00+ per pad which IMO is a rip off! Is there any other place on this side of the border that is more reasonable. The guy wouldn't accept a cash offer (which he has done before)
