Default Ice Polish!!!

How have I missed this?

I've passed by it several times at auto zone, but never really cared much looking into it.

All I'm gonna say, is this is prob the best "over the counter"/store bough polish I've come across. Very easy application and removal. Looks awesome!!

Pics will be posted shortly.

Well worth the money.

I used the Ice Detail Spray a while back but switched to Meguiar's. All the sprays kind of work the same, haha. I would like to see these pics though.

ICE is the best wash I've ever used. If you like the polish then stock up because (at least at Advance Auto) it's being discontinued. PICS or

I used the Ice quick detailer and it sucks. It attracts dust like crazy.

I agree.

Anyone try that "black box" stuff yet? Not that I have a black car or anything.. But I do detail work on the side and would be good to know for those PITA black ones.

Actually, I bought the tech wax first when I had my GTP. A guy at autozone tricked me into buying it. Its good wax but I decided to try the gold class on the SS. IMO the gold class does the job & its $5 cheaper.

No, I was considering it but after I had the guy at the zone open a box to see whats in the kit I decided NOT. Theres 4 different bottles(which means 4 steps) which equals more time it takes to wax the car instead of a the usual wax on, wax off. Not only that, I prefer the paste wax & that stuff sounds real liquidy from shaking up the bottles. Now if there was some kind of dust repellent in that kit I wouldve went for it. My car is a dust magnet.

i work at the zone and i have to say a lot of people come in looking for ice, the old ice defiantly sucked but the new stuff seems to be working well.

and for the record NXT tech wax blows, stick to gold class.

First, Camaro 94
your car looks great. The paint almost seems to flow.

Now about the TW black wax. M
y son has used it on his car. The four steps are for the first time to get your paint really clean and ready for the other steps. His car looks like a mirror. He uses just the black wax after that. I will see if I can get pics this afternoon.

There are also other folks on here who have used it and they posted pics. Here is a link for one of them: LINK

Here also is a video of a guy with a Mercury Marauder applying it to his car. The video is high speed of the whole process with good music. Cool to watch. LINK

I used ICE products before really learning to detail and I can definitly say this. ICE products are not all they are cracked up to be.

Meguiar's Makes a Wash/Wax which is now avalible everywhere that is a great in-between wax booster and wash.

I always follow up a wash with Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax which allows the cars to have a superior water bead.

For a spectacular Stand Alone wax look at NXT 2.0. If you know how to actually wax, then there is not an issue. Try the liquid if you have a poor technique.

I used to use ICE liquid wax and all it amounted to was a hyped up booster wax which has issues with heat, also its not a true wax barrier.
