I just ICE'd mine and I gotta say this is good stuff. I could feel a lil draggin' when applying it so I know it needed it. The car was built less than 2 months ago! Now it is smooth as a baby's bottom. I have used alot of different products but this is by far the easiest to use and it produces a clean clear look. Just like putting baby oil on a baby.
Update: Morning - a thin even layer of morning dew - the sign of a slick surface. Whe it dried, on the top i saw a few water spots. I used the ICE spray to tidy-up. Sprayed it on and good to go. I'm sticking with this stuff and staying on top of my game.

With the upcoming snow that we are expecting I decided to get some wax on my 2 day old Polar white HB. I broke out the mothers sealer/glaze and carnuba.
After a thorough wash with Meguires gold class I noticed that I got the "special" paint job. I found that the front bumper had all sorts of metallic contaminants that made their way into the clear coat, and began to create millions of tiny rust spots. Thank God I had a chuck of clay bar left. It took me 2 hours to get all the crap out of the clear coat. I gave it another quick wash and applied the glaze and wax. I sure am glad I did because it is going to rail all day today. I am hoping we get at least one warm day in the middle of winter so I can get another coat of wax on it. Detailing a white car does nothing for the ego. No matter how well you polish it, it will never have the stunning effect of a darker color. It does make finding contaminants easy though. Here she is in all her polished glory. |

exactly, the only difference I really can see after waxing is at night while driving.

I just Ice'd my car and it was so much easier than than using normal wax and it didn't take as long. I would definitely recommend using this. It has a high price tag when it comes to wax but it is sooooo worth it.

I use ICE too. There is so much controversy about how long it lasts and how well it protects after washing. It is so easy to use one can use it more to make up for that and one doesn't have to use that much either. The results are so satisfying on my meteorite color - clean and clear. I actually used a paste wax to compare. The ease of use outweighs any slight difference. ICE is good stuff.

answers about clear coat.
First of all let me start by saying that I have over 25 years of experience in the automotive refinishing biz. The clear coat on your car is actually a clear paint just as durable if not more then the actual color paint under it. When a dealer offers you a clear coat protection they are actually selling you a wax job. $500 to $995 for a wax job! The interior protection is often just a can of scothguard sprayed on. Save your money and skip these add-ons. The exterior protection coverage on these extras often run the same as the factory waranty. Your main rust prevention on the new cars is a zinc coating placed on the bare metal under the paint. You can have your car profesionally buffed with out any worries of the clear coat coming off. I emphasize professionally. In the wrong hands a buffer can act just like a sander and remove the clear and the color paint especially on the edges of the panels. (Even if you use Foam Pads.) The Best thing you can do to protect your finish is wax your car. The type of wax is a personal preference. I have found the best protection is usually a paste such as turtle wax type. It provides a thicker film of protection against the elements then a simple spray on wax. Wax should be applied according to manufacturers suggestions. Also you should wax your car as soon as you get it. The paint will have been totally cured and all fumes released from the paint by the time it gets to the dealers lot and waxing it right away will add the extra protection to help keep it looking new

Poor Boys Pinnacle Wolfgang Collinite Optimum Four Stars Blackfire Klasse From one person or another you're bound to here 2 brands I didn't list above....Zaino and Zymol. I've never used Zymol but from what I've read, their top quality stuff works, but is matched/beaten in looks/durability by other brands for less money. Zaino, on the other hand, I used to swear by, until I looked into other products for less money that work as good or better. Problem with synthetic polishes like Zaino is that they are more "shiny" than deep looking like a quality wax. Sure they last longer than a wax, but I detail my car more than twice a year. If you plan on only doing a full detail twice a year, use Klasse AIO/SG combo. Better than Zaino, and price competitive. |
