Just about any parts store has it. It's a clear bottle with a blue cap and a liquid in it that looks like water.

so Ice isn't a wax? It says polish but I thought it was a wax... weird

So what would the process be for starting to use wax, starting with a wet sand/buff, then right after the buff would I use ICE, then wax over that with something?

How does your paint fell after you have washed it? does it feel rough and "pitted" if it does I would clay bar it to remove what has bonded into the paint..usually it will be the worst on rear bumper and spoiler where dirt sits and collects more than anything. Thats where I would start..im not familer with wet sanding so i can't say.

My paint didn't feel good after the Ice. After wax it's nice and soft, but Ice made me feel like I was rubbing **** into my paint...the car still felt rough.

I would consider it a topper, last step. They call anything polish anymore, look at Zaino. Their products are called polish, yet they're not abrasive at all and can't even help remove a watermark. I haven't mixed Ice with anything, my steps have been to just wash the car and apply the Ice.

Yup should have been. we got the car done, and it wasn't ready to wet sand, but I needed the car, so I was forced to take it, then I got busy, he got busy, we just haven't had time, I am calling him tonight to make a appointment next week.

I bought the stuff a little over a month ago. First impression...


It works EXCELLENT and FAST. Waxing can take as much as 3 hours. I can Wash my car and Ice it in a little over an hour. It brought my dull silver back to life, it now looks DEEP rich silver. Everyone lately has asked me if the car has ever been repainted.

Ive been using it on vinyl stripes and it works, hasnt harmed them yet.It lasted about a month before I had to re-Ice it...but it was raining ALOT.

I use the spray detailer to clean off the dirt on the fenders by the wheels and touch ups. The spray detailer suprisingly works amazing on glass.

I love the stuff and for 17.99 for the ICE and the spray detailer you cant go wrong.

Try Autozone, Murrays Auto Parts, Advance Auto Parts, or Walmart.
