Default Some new pics of my ride after wash and ICED out

I thought I would give turtle wax ice a try and I was very pleased. This is a daily driver car and after a wash, I applied ICE to the car (which took all of mayber 20-30 minutes) and holy $hit. This stuff is unreal, now just waiting to see how it will hold up in the upcoming thunderstorms we have moving in.

Is that a factory color? Holy $hit thats nice lookin!

From my personal experience, and reading a lot here, ICE is a good quick shine product but its not durable at all. I wouldnt expect too much during those storms.

ICE wax will only last about a week...and that's under normal conditions. Don't get me wrong, I use ICE wax, but just a few hours before a carshow or something like that

I Iced my T/A 3 months ago, and the water still beads even after driving it everyday. The shine may not last much more than a week, but the wax still remains. The protection from ICE may not be as long lasting as carnuba waxes, but it is still better than many people give it credit for.

I guess it depends on the color of the car. It is oily that is for sure, but it's pretty sweet stuff, I think. You can even detail the black rubber and plastic pieces on the exterior of the car with it. As far as removal goes, I went over the car with a microfiber cloth after covering the whole car, then got a new cloth and went back over it. I can't say enough about the shine it gives and I can't speak about the durability yet, but I will by the end of this week. One other bit of info, if you have t-tops that have sap or any other kind of goop on them. I used my 3M Perfect It II Fine rubbing compound on them and they shine like a mother and remove all the contamination on them. Did this by accident....
