Can you tell me if this stuff actually dries into a shell or does it stay oily after 24 hours? I tried the Meguiars one and it stays oily.

I forgot to wipe off once after a heavy coat on my F150. The next day I did notice a hazy film on the lights which wiped off like wax residue would. Since that time I attempt to let it dry as long as possible before wiping off.

I would not say Blue Magic dries into a shell but it does not stay oily after 24 hours, however, Blue Magic recommends that you do not drive for a couple of hours after application. I follow the recommendations on the bottle and have had no problems with it.

It dried hard after a c good day of summer sun. There are some new products On market. Also. Check Amazon for replacement headlight assembly. Maybe cheaper in long run. Somewhat easy to install. New head light usually (Eagle Eyes brand) are oxidation resistant.

It seems to evaporate after a few hours and the lens is dry. It does not leave a detectable shell. To tell you the truth, after using this for 2 years, it is not preventing re-yellowing of my repolished plastic lenses on my BMW or VW. I am not sure if it does anything. To give it the benefit of the doubt, maybe it slows the yellowing process, but it sure doesn't prevent it.

Because it's the real deal, it's a hardened oil (fat) and doesn't whip-much like coconut oil at room temperature. The stuff you buy in the store has many things added to it to make it into a body lotion etc., with a creamy texture I usually melted it before use. If you hold it in your hand it will melt, or microwave it for 20 seconds at a time to soften it. I used it in hair and skin care. Be careful, the microwave heats it up fast so test it to make sure it's cool enough to apply on your skin.

Yes. In fact, it keeps your polish last longer because the moisture in the oil keeps your hands nice and the polish doesn't chip and flake fast. Just rub off any excess and you are ready to go. I like to put it on the last thing before I go to bed so it can moisturize the nails and my hands. Very soft in the morning:) Thanks for asking--have a nice day:)

I love this stuff I apply 3 times a wk and if you just set a schedule it just stays on. But def let it dry first. I love the facial one as well. Used them over a yr now

I personally like Bona over all the leading brands. No it doesn't leave it oily. The shine is only from the laminate or stone beneath it. I use it on my tile floors and the laminate. I won't use anything else. Had bad experiences with others.

I put in 8 drops and have used it to the longest setting 3 days in a row. I am going to clean it out today and put in a different oil. :)

My son says it is not greasy. He says it is thick at first and soaks in within a few minutes then is dry. He said even when he gets wet - as long as it has soaked in - it doesn't feel slippery either. He only puts it on once a day and it lasts all day.

Oh my. My girls just finished this and I threw away the container from the shower. It did not seem to have ANY oil. It was also not very abrasive so it was gentle on their 15 year old skin. It seemed to clean and slough off some of the dry skin from swimming team. Hope this helps. I am ordering more.

It will dry within 24 hrs. I am not satisfied with the results of this product actually. Very mediocre protection. Good luck!

Hi, The magnesium oil has an oily feel that is absorbed into the skin in about 15 minutes or so. I think then you could apply whatever you want to.

I would have to say that it drys pretty quickly, depending on how much you put on it. Within a half hour. Remember, it needs several coats before getting the effect that you are looking for.

johnp37 - you cannont find a better product. It is great. It is not greasy. It has a good sunscreen value. Really, I think it is the best you can buy for this type of application.

It is not "sticky" and absorbs quickly (unless applied too thickly). It is tacky for a few seconds and does not increase pore size or oil production.

Really no idea. I assumed it will last a really long time since I just add a few drops to my moisturizer(in my palm without contaminating the dropper tip, pat to blend,and apply. I will treat it like any oil, store in a cool place- my bathroom is on an outside wall and tends to stay cool. If and when it gets an old oil smell,I'll discard it. I'm thinking that won't happen b/c it is pure. Heck, I'm guessing it will last for a couple of years!!

No you did not. I just gave myself a wonderful hot oil treatment a few days ago using Vartika. It started out solid. I heated water in a large plastic container until it boiled then I placed the entire bottle of vartika in it and left for about 7 minutes. Viola! It turned into a liquid.

Sorry if I'm wasting your time but thought I'd share my thoughts. I've only had mine a month & haven't noticed any drying to test this out. however, because it doesn't dry out I'd guess it's not water based & couldn't absorb the water. I think a better bet would be to try adding a little oil. I think I'd try baby oil first.

It doesn't magically disappear after application, but I wouldn't call it particularly greasy or oily, certainly less so than most bug repellents or sunscreens. The wipes are little folded perforated towlettes (think "moist towlette") and the repellent they're soaked with is completely clear and basically "watery" more than "oily", though there may be a very lightly oily feel during or after application. I just brush the wipe lightly across the area I'm applying it to (especially when the wipe is first opened and is 'fully loaded', wiping firmly might apply more than you want), then rub lightly to even out and spread the application. After I've applied some and the wipe is no longer fully loaded, I can then use the wipe more directly on the skin as an applicator. The stuff is pretty strong.... after all, it's trying to compete with the most toxic bug stuff out there, and does pretty well in that competition. If you read the instructions, it says to go light on delicate skin like ears, etc. On the absolute worst Alaska bug days (a full week in the boreal forests of central Alaska), my ears would start to notice if I reapplied for a third time late in the day. The delicate skin would start to have a burning feel, as if to say "enough already with that stuff". A neat trick is to put a little on the skin, but way more on a bandana tied around the neck, which both keeps bugs off by being there as a cloth barier, but also by carrying a lot of repellent, it provides some protection of the face and ears and back of neck without having to have so much of it on the skin. Ok I'm rambling now. Time for bed.
