Auto Majic Products

[magicman411]

85% of the products I use are Auto Magic and that is only for the high dollar luxury & exotic vehicles like the ones on my website and the rest of the 15% I use on the cheap domestic cars.

Cars look very good!

Again disagree. Pros have customer demands to meet. Their products must be able to deliver. There is definitely a difference between reconditioning pros and car enthusiasts and the way that they perceive products to work. But to imply that the big chem companies ( Auto Magic, Car Brite, Ardex etc..) products are only used because they are cheap is totally wrong.

Well I've been a " pro " for only 2 yrs now . I'm mobile with a small overhead. If I was running a storefront I would buy in bulk from 1 supply chain that had good products. i wouldn't be able to buy the nice $5 MF towels and mix and match my best sealants and polishes from other vendors all over the states.

Most pro shops hire kids for about $7 an hour to do all the work so why won't they pay more for quality workers if the customer demands are soo high!!

Are you high

to be honest the only product of auto magic ive seen really work is the base coat clear coat step 2 or BC2 the reason i say this is cause i use it to remove the scratches in door handles on light and dark colored cars . i take an applicator with some BC2 i rub it on by hand and boom! 3 minutes later it looks brand new. i purchased a gallon of it in san diego from a distributor known as SKS they came to our dealership. before cali i never heard of auto magic. i like the BC2 though.

There is a dist right near the airport in Atlanta. Its near where I work so I went by and checked it out.

They have a excellent APC called 777. Only $10 a gallon. Mix 1-4 for exterior and 1-10 for interior plastic. I have used this for both areas and it works very good.

I got the #35 car wash only $10 a gallon also, not much of a chance to use it yet.

They have body shine which is the clay lube for blue magic clay bars at $20 a gallon, I also got the 200g blue magic claybar, was about $28.

Automagic is my main supplier currently. I've used 4 or 5 companys over the last 15 years. I stopped using other companies because local distribution died or I was having stuff shipped and costs became an issue. My opinion is that most of the chemical companies do a good job. All the companies I've used have had products to cover almost everything I would need. I could use AM exclusively but only carry a few chemicals from them. These being the items I use the most.

Red Hot cleaner
Magnificent (may be switching to this once I use up my Redhot)
Wash and wax soap
Glass Concentrate
Spoke acid (love it, a few other acid cleaners have failed to work the way I wanted)
I carry a solvent dressing from them that I use on occasion.
I use a water based dressing from their truck but it's labeled Dealers Choice.

I've tried a lot of their products and liked most. Only exception I can think of is their adhesive tar remover. I usually get 3m's and last time they didn't have any on the truck. The AM stuff just doesn't work as well.

For paint protection, I like PB's line and Malco's Flash. I get the flash from the AM truck. Clay I'll order from Detail Plus once I use up the remaining bars I have.
