Question What should I do??

Im gonna start my spring cleaning in a couple of days, and I have: Meguiars Deep Cleaner, Turtle Wax ICE, and Turtle Wax Platinum Wax. I also have a PC, and I was just going to do the cleaner and the ICE by hand and then I was going to use the PC for the wax. My question is, will the PC take off the amazing shine that the ICE puts on the car or will it just make it more glossy?

PC wont take anything away assuming you're doing this in the steps you said.

If that platinum wax has any cleaners or abrasives in it, it will remove the Ice wax. Why are you waxing it and then waxing it again by PC? The PC is great for polishing so you should use it with your cleaner. Personally, I would go buy a polish (like Meguiars #80) and use the pc with it and then apply your wax. If you really want your car to look and feel good, you need to clay it first. Your original plan just doesnt sound like you will get that great of results (although MUCH better than doing nothing at all ), sorry.

also, it will depend on what pad you use. You will need to use a finishing pad that doesnt cut (like Sonus SFX Blue pad) or you will be removing what you did.
