REVIEW - Autobrite Direct Black Magic
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:51 pm
WHAT IS IT, AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
Black Magic Carnauba Wax is one of the 1st Carnauba Wax blends we created. We wanted to create a wax that is ideal for darker colours such as gloss and metallic black bringing our the stunning shine and depth within the paint.
Black Magic provides a combination of outstanding finish and longevity. Every pot is both hand-made and hand-poured to ensure consistent high quality. Whilst specially developed to give supreme performance, Black Magic is also very easy to use and will buff off with little effort. Suitable for both demanding car lovers and first time users the waxes are without compromise yet still fall within the budget of most consumers. Each wax is suited to a different application:
Black Magic Carnauba Wax is a premium wax for darker colours. Just like the rest of the Autobrite wax range Black Magic is hand-made and hand-poured from the finest ingredients. Black Magic will deliver an outstanding gloss and depth of shine to your paint and provide excellent durability. Black Magic has a Chocolate fragrance so this product is very nice to work with!
Simply apply thin coats in straight lines and allow to cure for approx 2-4 minutes before gently buffing off with a soft microfibre cloth for that outstanding finish!
APPLICATION METHOD AND DESCRIPTION:
Well, I used a very soft foam applicator (lightly dampened), but applied in small circles). I did the bonnet first, then buffed to check the cure time (approx 3-4 mins), seemed a like it needed a little longer so I reverted to a 'do two panels, buff the first, apply to third and buff second etc' method. Worked well for me.
KEY NOTE: I applied this to washed paint. There was no real prep involved, bar an application of Cherry Glaze a week ago. I washed and dried the paint and applied.
FINISHED RESULTS:
CONCLUSIVE COMMENTS:
Well, I have to say, it's easy on, easy off. It gives me a finish I am over the moon with, at a price I am more than happy with. An added bonus is that it helps to hide a multitude of sins as the above photos show. There is a scratch down my passenger side where some *insert expletive here* keyed the car. Black Magic has used some form of voodoo to help mask it to some degree (in truth, it'll likely be the colour charging of the wax). The finish overall is wet and glossy, something I was hoping for when I bought the wax. I like the scent (it's not Terrys, it's mine!) of chocolate orange, I like the oily nature of the wax. One key thing for me is how easy the wax is to get out of the pot, the mouth of this pot is plenty big enough for just about all applicators.
I'll keep you all posted in terms of durability.
It's a
from me.
WOULD YOU BUY IT AGAIN?
Sure would! For £35, it is a bit of a dark horse in the wax world.
