To sum it up in one sentence...one of the craziest shines of any product, with one of the lowest durabilities of any product...

lol well put. however, it did survive the rain this past sunday. so its not horrible. but doesnt hold a candle to zaino and company in the durability dept. but its also insanely easy to apply. lol so its got its pros and cons. great for weekends/shows/and the like. not so great for long lasting shine and protection.

I love Turtle Wax ICE, it is by far one of the best polish/waxes I have ever used. It is very easy to put it on and very easy to wipe off. The shine that you get out of yoyur little effort is unbelievable!!

There's only been like one thread per day about this stuff since it came out.

Oh, and I've used it. It works great. Pics at the bottom of this page.

I used it on my grandpas 05 white diamond STS today and I must say I am pretty impressed. It did a really good job bringing out the metallic in the paint, and better yet it did a great job on the chrome and plastics. If nothing else it is worth it for that. Im sticking with Zaino though.....

What if you used a good wax and then on top of that use the liq one? Wouldnt that be the best of both worlds?

Im am on the other side of the fence with this product. I applied it and I am quite unimpressed.
I split the hood on my old z71 between two products, Eagle One Nano Wax, and Ice. The Eagle One looked better and its gonna last longer. I also dont think its that quick and easy to apply since i had to do three coats to get the shine i wanted and only 1 with the Eagle One. I would much rather spend the extra 30 minutes waxing to get the better shine and better protection.
I think that skimping on something as important as your paint is just as bad as buying cheap korean parts just to save a few bucks. .02

To know if that would work we would need to know if the product is abrasive or non-abrasive and last time I checked no one knew.

Me and my bro used it a few days ago and It was super easy to apply and gave a great shine but it didn't make me feel like I was doing any good for my car. Ya kno the feeling you get when your buffing the haze of wax off to discover the "shine"
