Autoglym Magma Review

What We Say

What is it:

Taken from the Autoglym website description of the product; Your vehicle is under constant attack from airborne contaminants. Many of these are tiny particles of iron that appear as specks on paintwork and brake dust on wheels, dulling their shine. The active ingredients in Magma turn red as they react with these iron particles to safely loosen them from the surface to be easily rinsed away.

How we Tested it:

We were sent a 500ml bottle of Magma by Autoglym to put to the test. We have used it as part of the decontamination process on two vehicles both on bodywork and wheels and observed the effectiveness of contaminant removal and place for the product.

We Liked:

• The best smelling fallout remover on the market! All fallout removers generally smell unbearable but this is almost pleasant!
• Quick reacting, very clear "bleeding" effect to show reactions.
• Effective contaminant removal. Paintwork and wheels were significantly improved from a single hit.

We Didn't like:

• Not the most economical fallout remover. We used the entire 500ml bottle to cover two average sized vehicles bodywork and wheels. Not the cheapest to use.
• Trigger as slow release trigger made for somewhat laborious task when covering whole vehicle.

Overall:

After the launch of Liquid Clay to the Professional range, it made sense that a home user fallout remover was launched by Autoglym and alas we have Magma. Whilst varying slightly from Liquid Clay it retains much of what works well for the mass market - primarily the enjoyment of use in terms of smell and outright performance as a fallout remover. Whilst not the most economical product to use, it is well priced in the fallout market and with good branding and a quirky name, we can see this selling well.
