Hey guys I wanted you opinions you guys use products I have never heard of... I was wondering if you guys have ever used Auto Magic stuff, and if you have what you think of it.. it`s all professional stuff and it`s readily available here in NH... I`v used other stuff like Kar Kraft, but hated their products. I`v been in the business for about 6 years and wow you guys have some great tips I havn`t heard of... but wanted your input on some products.. I do like Auto Magic and love alot of there stuff but some stuff does a ok job... Just starting my own business I want to be the best in this area what do you guys think?????


Ps for bug removal I`v always used ammonia mixed about 3 to 1 in a spray bottle works great no effort but can this hurt the finish I havn`t seen any adverse reactions on any cars but maybe someone knows more on this...

Sorry for the long post. Thanks guys!!!:)

Auto Magic makes some great products their clay is one of the best . Bc1 and BC2 are very good buffing products their yellow E-Z paste wax is also very good

I`ve never tried any AutoMagic products myself but have heard and read mostly good things about their products.

As for the Ammonia deal...if you haven`t had any problems with finishes then I guess it is OK but I would be very reluctant to use it myself. Maybe someone here who didn`t cut chemistry class in high school:D could lend an opinion. Hey Dwayne, what doya say? Maybe ask Rick about that one?

Natty missed my share of chemistry too...lol

Ammonia shouldn`t be harmful to the finish if used lightly and not too often....many products especially some well known metal polishes are full of it..literally:rolleyes:

I personally can`t stand the smell of the stuff and prefer to keep it as far away as possible, especially from my skin:D

I came across using ammonia while using it when i worked in a dealership. One of the guys told me to use the aresol glass cleaner it did make my life alittle easier... Then i used another that did not work well at all the only difference was the amonia.. so i tried it diluted in water and it worked great... Thanks for the input so far..

Like I said earlier in the post I`v never used any of the stuff you guys talk about what do you guys suggest as some of the best products so i can try them out...


Thanks again Guys

If you can stand the smell ammonia and water makes a great uph. and carpet cleaner. One cup of ammonia to one gallon of water , rub on with a wet towel and wipe dry with a dry towel ,does not leave a dirt catching film on fabric . You will be supprised on how dirty your water will get.
