C-Magic Products - Anyone heard or used them?

C-MagicWax.Com - Engineered to Shine



I was at a local Corvette car show today and ran into the owner (Kermit Dye) of C-Magic (TX). He had a display table featuring his products and was doing a great job of promoting them. I must say he is very enthusiastic about his line! Regardless, anyone have any input they'd like to share about their products? He told me that at one time (recently) that C*Magic was the official car care line of Corvette kinda like how Adams currently is. He also mentioned that his line is exclusively used at the National Corvette Museum. Oh, and also stated that he is the manufacturer of his product line too, but not really sure at what capacity that is accurate? None the less, just throwing it out there for Autopians to digest....

I have heard of them due to the NCM connection; from what I understand they're used to prep RPO "R8C" cars (Museum Delivery) as well.



I haven't used any of it though; my uncle (who you met, David) said they were selling the stuff at the C5/C6 bash at the museum when they went down last year but he didn't pick any up.

Gotcha and is exactly what he was alluding to. Interesting to see this gentleman came up from TX for this event, but I guess that's his thing? Seems like they cater to novices who are into the whole "our product gives your car that hard shelled protection that can last 9 months and can be layed over itself" type of marketing approach. What I found interesting is his technique to have people put their finger prints on his "hard shelled surface" and see how easy it is to wipe away with your bare hand. That's where I kinda stepped in and said...:nono Great effort though as people were really buying into it.

I'd have to look at that two ways... on the one hand, it's definitely misguided to sell people on the idea of wiping away fingerprints with a bare hand and no lubrication, but at the same time if he's found an approach that gets people applying some form of protection to their cars it's a valuable first step. Once they see that they can actually manage to maintain the paint themselves they become more receptive to ways they can make the results even better.
