Black Magic is good. But if you are planning to have any paint work done in the near future your shop will cuss you to death. Any tire shine F's up paint jobs. It won't come off even with wax and grease removers.

I just tries Meguiar's for the first time tonight. It went on nice and easy and not too glossy.  I'll reeport back on how it does. I was previously using eagle1 tire shine. Hate that spray  messes up the rims.

I have found that the sprays are only good for inside the wheel wells to darken them up. I usually hold a towel around the nozzle so it doesn't get on the paint. I hate those little "specks" on the car after spending all that time wiping it to perfection!

I have the Endurance High gloss and Turtle Wax tire wax and they are both really good, but the Tire Wax does less sling (its thicker).

antonio ... its called 15 years in the paint business. The silicone gets imbedded in the paint and doesn't clean out. Paint prep 101. Take the class,lol. Seriously it will f' up a future paint job the more you use the worse things get. Talk about fisheyes... or should i say whale eyes?
