I recently bought a bottle of Track Magic Shine, and I found it very liquid and transparent amber color ( shampoo-ish ) with a strong smell, please look at the pics :

My question is, is this normal or it's an old bottle ?
Sorry if it sounds dumb, but it's the first time I buy a bowling ball polish.
I guess it's a lot better to apply the MS with a spinner, by hand is a hard task.
Thanks in advance

I have never seen Magic Shine have that appearance. It is usually more of a light purple color.
I would try leaving it sit upside down (OFCOURSE YOU WILL NEED TO CLOSE THE LID
) for a day or so. Then shake it up vigorously. If that doesn't get it where it should be, then I would take it back. -EX-

Carl, I didn't put it upside down for a day, but I shook it vigorously (with the lid close of course LOL) but looks the same, I will try your method
thanks again for the input.--------------------

The bottle of Magic Shine I have looks exactly like that. Got it from BuddiesProShop.com about a year ago. Looked like that from day one, whether I shook it up or not. Still seemed to do the job though.

It works just fine, however, I really don't suggest shaking it vigorously and repeatedly before each use (or at all). It doesn't say shake well on the bottle and now I know why. Some hard sticky plaster thing precipitated out, and my Magic Shine is now really milky and very runny.
It worked great though before I shook it up.

I had some that looked like that also. Not to worry, I know that in one of our other cleaners that the chemicals can separate in time but still performs the same.

No, it was Clean and Dull and this is a direct quote from Brian:

I saw this first hand recently. A friend of mine wanted a small bottle of clean n dull, so I ordered him one. It was still as think as other bottles I have seen, but there was more of a yellowish tint as opposed to green. It still does the same job on a bowling ball.

Upon leaving my Magic Shine untouched, it has started returning to its original thick and clear form. There is still some precipitate, but I'm not too concerned as long as it the liquid isn't very viscous and milky looking. Maybe I should try it again to see if anything has been altered reactionwise.

I can't take pictures inside the bottle to show the precipitate, but it's there.
Here's a picture of my Magic Shine...looks just like yours, but works well!

I just got my bottle of Magic shine today from buddies and it is a milky white and really liquidy. I thought it would be a little more paste than liquid? It has no hint of the purple color as described should be. I just hope it works! Its almost like water.

I'd try letting it sit for about a week, see if it settles. It doesn't say shake well on the bottle, so I really don't recommend shaking well.
When I got my Magic Shine, it was pretty thick - like shampoo - and then I started shaking it well before each use and it became pretty messed up. After letting it return to normal, it is back to its translucent state with a shampoo-like viscosity.

I don't know about you, but my bottle of Magic Shine doesn't say "SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING!"...
