RE: black magic
Bah i just a 5 gallon bucket from the local detail shop. It works the best, also smells like bubble gum. I also use a stuff that comes in a blue bucket i forget the name but its silicone base and works very well.

Yeah, I'm real sure you spend that much money to have 5 gallon buckets full of dressings that it will take you 5 years to use just sitting around the garage.

Well you dont have to buy bulk from them, they sell quarts. I just stated that because that stuff is so i good i stock up on it because i use it alot, sorry i should leave that out next time if its causing people to get upset. Lets try to focus on the thread.
FImports- I use the prlc dressing from them and it works extremely well. Its doesn't leave a greasey feel to it like Armor All and maguires and you cant put it on plastic , tires , leather etc. so you get more bang for your buck.

Nobody is getting upset here, so chill. All I'm saying is that there are much better alternatives to what you are suggesting. It doesn't matter what size they sell in, they have expensive product, and he would have to wait for shipping. He could easily go to a local store and purchase one of the aforementioned products, and have it the same day. There is nothing wrong with Armor All, yes it is greasy if yiu use too much, but it works as well as anything. Since you are a "detailer" I figure you would know that when you use too much dressing it will cause this greasiness or overshine. Did you read my write up on detailing where I specifically state that less is more when it comes to interior dressings?
Armor All- Inexpensive, does not cause cracks (don't know where you heard that), not an appealing scent, can be greasy when overapplied
Black Magic- mid-expensive, pleasant cherry scent, very small amount goes a long way
Meguiars- Expensive, very pleasant smell, long lasting shine when applied correctly to a clean surface
That is pretty much how they break down, but mainly it is just a matter of opinion, all personal preference. I prefer Meg's, but I used to prefer Black Magic, Meg's just came out with better products and improvements in my opinion.

Well your comming off being very condescending, and i dont like armorall on rubber cause it does make it grease no matter how much you use of it. Plus over time it tends to destory plastic dashes. Its happened to me before on my astro van, google armor problems you will find tons of problems people are having. at the time i did.
Import - if you dont like to order stuff then i would go witht he gold class interior protectant, it works extremely well with leather and plastic/vinyl.

As for me being condescending, I'm not, I just know what I'm talking about. I don't mod this section because I was sitting in the last seat when the music stopped. I happen to have an extensive background in detailing, paint, and body. My truck is my proof. You tend to think that since you are or were a detailer that everyone around you knows about all the detailers secrets, and can perform them for another matter. I don't think that way. I give everday people who most likely don't have a background in detailing or paint and body work, everyday information or reccomendations based upon what the everyday person can perform and buy in the store.
Now, let us please get back to the topic at hand.

RE: black magic
Me, I don't like armor-all because of the shine it produces... Armor All destroying dashes is a myth.
I just dust my dash and every once in awhile I'll use some meguiar's on a rag... I can't stand shine though...
I've never used black magic... I have bounced between turtle wax, meguiar's, and mothers for the last 15 years. They all have their merits. I will never by mass quantities of a product because I tend to use one thing for a year or so, then switch to something different just to try it out.

I agree with you there Kyle. I tend to lean to Meg's because it has more of a satiny finish rather than the gloss you get from Armor All, and can you believe they make an extra glossy formula too?! I used to like having the gloss thing going on, but it just attracts to much dust for my taste.
