Is that the same stuff you use to cool off drinks?






j/k it does look good but no different. By the way, an optima red top would complement the engine bay very nicely!

There's no point on putting ICE under the hood. There's no clear coat and the paint will just absorb it. Not to mention the engine bay heat will bake it right off pretty soon

I wet sanded mine and then polished it with Meguires cleaner wax and it work great. The hard part was finding touch up paint to match under the hood! I did a complete !wire, !AIRHOSE, !LATCH cable, !Grounds, !HOLES (fenders and hood)...so I have been busy. I will post pics this weekend.

I use simple green to clean my bay and spray dry with leaf blower or air hose then mother wax. But with the ice it added alot of shine to it with a smooth clean feeling and not all oily. If you add average tire gloss it will pick up a ton of dirt/dust and look like crap in a few days. I have done it. Also if you do that at most real car shows they will take away points for doing that.

It looks good but I have found that the ICE stuff attracts dust like crazy. Go for a drive and then take a pic.
