Anyone else not that impressed with ICE ???

Waxed my car with Turtle Wax Carnuba. Then put a coat of ICE on. When I was done,, sure it looked clean and waxed but not really that different with the ICE on it. It is nice that you can use it on the whole car, not just the paint. But I don't think it was really worth the 15 bucks.

I agree. I bought my first bottle and it was one of the best waxes I have ever used. But when I lost the first bottle, I bought another and I was very disappointed with it. It spotted my car and didn't wipe off very good. I think I'll just stick with my meguir's stuff.

It does work good for the black pieces/parts. Still nothing to get crazy over.

I think what he means is that the ice is defined as a polish not as a wax, and you're supposed to wax over polish not polish over wax.

But it isn't a "polish" product. Forget what the bottle says. It is a TOP coat product, just like a wax.
