"ICE" Anyone using it?

[ctrcbob]

I've heard some good things about Turtle Wax "ICE", the one in bottles (although they also have one in a spray bottle).
This stuff is expensive, around $15. a bottle. Comes with an applicator pad and a cloth to wipe off.

Friend of mine just used some and he liked it. Wondering if anyone of you have used it.

I found a place that says it will be on sale next month for $11.95 so am thinking of getting a bottle.

I use Ice and think it does a great job. The spray is a detailer. Use clean microfibe clothes (1 comes with kit). I wax/detail alot.

Polished my car using ICE Polish today. (Not the detailer, which I have not yet used). This stuff works great. Car should be clean before you start. (washed it yesterday) Did the whole car in 25 minutes. Would have been 20 minutes had I known what I was doing. First off, you squirt on the sponge, then spread on the ENTIRE car. Spreads so easy. When the ICE dries, you wipe it off using a MicroSwirl cloth. ICE has a very pleasent smell, and "glides" on the car. I did the job inside my garage, however next time, I'll do it outside, as it did not want to dry in the garage. Instructions say you can do it in the sun, and even with the hood hot. The instructions say to wipe with the MicroSwirl cloth after the ICE dries, however it was taking forever to dry, so I first used a regular T-Shirt to wipe dry with one hand, followed by the MicroSwirl cloth with the other hand to remove streaks. Car looks great. No streaks. No white residue. I really would not call it a polish, but more of a coating that makes the car shine. No rubbing at all. This stuff is expensive, however the good news is that you use so little of the stuff, you can probably polish 40 or 50 cars with one bottle. My bottle still looks full.

I haven't used the polish yet, but I've cleaned my Harley several times using the detailer. This stuff works great.

Humm -- I noticed Costco has a kit of the polish, detailer, and mf cloth.

Took car out in the sunshine today. WOW!

I keep hearing about how well this stuff makes the paint looks, but either doesn't really last long or doesn't protect. Either way, I think I will end up using it on my motorcycle since it is garage kept and only ridden in fair weather. Might have to give this stuff a shot.

Have not tried it on the bike yet, but this afternoon, I used the polish on my wifes car. Only took about 20 minutes to do the whole car.

Still have not used the detailer.

i looked at it a pep boys the other day and the feature i like about it is - "doesn't leave a white residue"

Yesterday I just used their new Ice claybar. I washed my truck, used the claybar, and waxed with the new Ice paste wax. I am really happy with the results.

Ice is really easy to use, and the results are suprisingly good.

I just bought the kit from Costco...

I just tried the liquid polish and it works great. Need to use a good microfiber to get the residue off. This is a nice product to top coat an existing wax or in my case zaino.

From what I've been reading, it's best to use the ICE paste first and the use the spray.

That combo is supposed to give better protection.

I used it today on my silver 3i. Shoot....there and no way to see if the product was hazing or not because of the color. The car looks clean and shiny but silver doesn't really give you that "deep" look you're going for anyway. The reflections of the sky and clouds looked awesome on the hood.

It's supposed to downpour tomorrow and I'm actually looking forward to the rain! I'm curious to see how this stuff beads up initially.

 

[mazduh30]

Just used the ICE detail. My truck looks great

 

[Greggy_D]

Wow. My car seems like it got shinier and glossier overnight. Even after driving in a light rain this morning, the reflection is absolutely gorgeous. I just wish the silver showed more depth to it.
