I used the wax kind not the liquid and it came out looking really good sorry I don't have better pictures. Oh yes and I like it because I don't have any form of shade available.

Show your car some real love. Throw the ICE in the trash and get some Tropicare TC-3 or Zaino AIO.

got the ice, wasnt impressed at first. it left the car glassy looking but felling dull. the first coat of ice went really quick so i went over it again with black magic ultra gloss and the car turned into a mirror. all in all i think its a great clear coat cleaner, it made applying the ultra gloss alot easier and cut my waxing time in half reducing alot of buffing

Thread revival mastah here. . . . .


Just decided to buy this clear crap. . . Wow, what a POS. . . ****, it needs a infomercial.


What a waste. . .


It makes my car feel like it has been covered in ArmorAll. . .


Stick to real wax or a detailer for a fast shine. I usualy make my own detailer, but I really wanted to try this **** out. . . Damn I want my 20 Bucks back.

You likely over applied. It is a very oily product and needs to go on VERY thin.

There are certainly better products for longevity, but after you are done with the ICE your car should feel like glass. Not oily/streaky at all (which is what I assume "feels like armorall" means).

For dark colored cars I prefer either NXT 2.0 or Showroom FX (used to be Tropicare) "Crystal Black" Carnuba Creme.

the first coat always does that. wax it again in a week and it will go on perfectly. just be sure you are using a clean microfiber towel, you may need to have a few on hand
