Just Iced (turtle wax ICE) my hood, amazing stuff! goes on like squirting oil everywhere, but oil is pretty glossy! I claybared the hood first. Here are some pics:
Yes that paint is 11 years old. I didn't modify the brightness or contrast at all. Thats how it came out of the camera.

Damn, I cant even tell what color the hood is the reflection is soo good. I bought some of that stuff I might have to give it a try. Is that one coat or multiple coats? And did you put down any wax after?

It's black. I washed it then claybared it first, then put a coat of Dupont "teflon" wax on it to remove the fine scatches, then I put one coat of the ICE wax on it for that glossy look. Looks crazy in person, no lie.
The dupont "teflon" wax is my favorite as well. I tried meguires, turtle wax and mothers. The dupont stuff shines more, lasts longer and dries quicker.

Yup, I had already decided before, but I have got to get me some of that stuff.
I've heard its easier to use than other waxes and it's pretty quick to do a whole car?

Why did you put on the wax before the polish? I just did meguiars #7 and #26 with a clay bar, but I didnt like the way it turned out. I may go wash it real quick and throw on some liquid ice. Do you recommend any kinda wax after the ice?

I'd rather not use 2 different waxes.

I dunno, I didn't try it by itself. I used the first wax to fill the scratches, some type of scratch filler would do the same. Then shined it up with the ice. I already had the dupont stuff so I didn't wanna go buy scratch filler.
but interesting wax no doubt.

That's just a product of the camera...mine looked like that with Black Magic...I ended up ditching it though because it left white residue in all the cracks on my car.
So you are saying that this stuff won't hide swirls/fine scratches and you need something else to do that?

it just makes the car shiny. it wont hide swirls or scratches.
Here are more pics, sry it's getting dark here. I'll pull the car out in a min and take some more.
the car has to be clean and preferably claybared. If you put wax and crappy paint, it's gonna look crappy.
BTW this product is not a WAX!! It says on the bottle that it's a polish... so it wouldn't hurt to use a paste wax like i did then use this polish.
