Buff Magic

There are very subtle differences between the Buff Magic white vs. pink. The pink breaks down a little further than the white, giving a bit more shine and depth. The pink was the original formula, and many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) asked for a compound that would cut a little better, and they also wanted a white color for a cleaner appearance if any residue was left behind.

To simplify applications of Buff Magic:

White – preferred by OEM’s that typically sand to 600-800

Pink – mostly preferred by consumers and professional detailers. Great for gelcoat color restoration where sanding is not necessary and used as a detailing compound for light oxidation. Also good for use on painted graphics. Buff Magic pink is also an excellent metal, plexiglass, and isinglass polish.

Note: these are basic generalizations; different people buff in different manners and may prefer one over the other based on personal preferences.

Benefits of Buff Magic vs. other compounds:

• Does not burn or swirl

• Higher gloss index

• Reduction in materials used

• No need to follow behind with second product to remove burns or swirls (example: Finesse It)

• Cleaner to use vs other compounds (does not “sling”)

• Surface may be wiped with acetone or lacquer thinner and swirls and haze do not show back up on buffed surface

• Less “passes of buffer” to produce shine, less effort and less labor

Pro Polish

This can be used as a compliment to Buff Magic and used for finish protection and enhancement. Pro Polish may be used to replace Finesse It as a final finish application. It is used by many OEM’s especially on colored gels. This product adds depth and very high gloss, and is best applied by a buffer with a foam pad for a swirl free final finish. It’s designed for gelcoat, metal, and painted surfaces.

Serious Marine Cleaner

It has multiple uses, from production and detailing to private use. This is a safe multi-surface cleaner that is tough enough to clean a bilge, yet safe to use on luxurious carpets. Many OEM’s have replaced lacquer thinner, styrene, and acetone to clean molds with Serious Marine Cleaner. It is a safe and effective cleaner without the health hazards of acetone or thinners. Serious Marine Cleaner and our washable microfiber towels have cut OEM’s costs on rags and chemicals. Serious Marine cleaner is available in single trigger spray bottles, as well as in 1 gallon and 5 gallon concentrated sizes. Mix 1 gallon with 4 gallons of water and you have 5 gallons of cleaner for $ 2.66 per gallon or less. Compared to the average $6 – $9 per gallon of other cleaners. Serious Marine Cleaner has been tested and is preferred by many OEM’s for care and cleaning of vinyl. Many of the citrus cleaners on the market damage the protective coating on the vinyl which causes discoloration and future staining. Serious Marine cleaner is safe for virtually all marine and automotive surfaces except raw aluminum.

Microfiber Towel

These have multiple uses from cleaning to polishing. Used in many OEM’s for cleaning/wiping compound residue from molds and finished gelcoat, it is heavily used as a detailing cloth and leaves no lint behind like a terry towel. Unlike terry towels and other microfiber rags, our microfiber can be washed 500 + times and be reused. Most others come apart in the wash and fibers deteriorate. This towel is ultimately complimented by Serious Shine to clean all surfaces, from paint, to glass, to plastic, gelcoat and virtually any surface except for pourous fabrics such as cloth or carpet.

Serious Shine

A truly standout product in a class all by itself. The only detailer on the market designed for use on all surfaces except for fabrics. This detailer can be used on glass, paint, fiberglass, plastic, burl wood, vinyl, leather, clear plastic, even flat painted surfaces for a streak free finish. This is the ultimate cleaning/detailing product that does not discriminate to where it can be used. Serious Shine adds luxurious gloss and depth to painted surfaces. It is safe for use on all interior and exterior surfaces except for fabrics. Serious Shine produces a high-gloss, extremely smooth surface. This product eliminates the need for multiple cleaners, glass cleaners, rubber protectant, paint protectant, and many others. This is a one-can-does-it-all product.

Moldaway

A safe alternative to bleach for cleaning mold and mildew. Moldaway is excellent for attacking mold, mildew and algae wherever it is found with out damaging the surface being cleaned. Great stain remover for carpet, fabrics, and canvas. It does not damage material or leave residue behind like bleach and bleach type cleaners.
