Ice
 
If you haven't tried the new polish from Turtle Wax called "Ice", you really should. This stuff is awesome. Its just a spray on/wipe off polish but its the best stuff I've ever used. My car is black and I used it in direct sunlight with the car really hot and it didn't leave a single streak. Try it.. You won't be disappointed. I get it at Advance Auto Parts and its about $10 a bottle but so so worth it.

I saw that stuff yesterday when I went to pick up some injector cleaner. Which one was it though? I saw a few different ones, like the Ice thing was a whole line of products from Turtle Wax.

I didn't realize there was a whole line but I just went to the website and you're right, there is... I'm not sure about the other products in this line but the spray detailer is what I'm talking about. Here's a link, hopefully it works.... http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,1,2.

This stuff is so good I'll definetely try the other products in the line.

i only use meguires but i was thinking of doing the ice cause it sucks doing a black car with regular wax lol.

i think the liquid claybar only really works well if you dont REALLY need it. I dont think there's much of a replacement for good old claybars, even though they're a pain.

this line is gear toward people who don't really like to detail their cars. it is OK at best and will never look as good, or last a long as a good quality carnuba wax

it's just a lazy person's product line that is fine for people that like it "good enough"

I use the detailer everytime I wash my car... thats every weekend and sometimes during the week if I get time off. I'm sure as hell not gonna break out the carnuba wax and wax my car every weekend.. thats overkill. People that fall into the "good enough" crowd dont even bother buying these products.. they unrolla water hose and some dishwashing liquid once every 2 months. I'm not lazy by any means and I detail my car way more than most people... so I'm gonna continue to use this product. I cant vouch for the waxes in this line, but the detailer is awesome.

i wasnt impressed with the liquid wax myself. i gave it to a friend. he loves it though.

im all about meguires products myself.

RE: Ice
 
Yeah really, the "good enough" crowd just take their car to an automated carwash and then theyre done. Anyway, I've never ever used spray wax. Sad huh??? So as soon as I get my water pump fixed and my car is driveable I'll try the Ice spray.

i just noticed i said liquid wax. thats my fault, i ment to put liquid clay bar. Ive never tried the wax. But everything else still applies.

Before fall started up and used Meguires Clay Bar Kit and it made my paint a lot smoother and a bit nicer looking. The problem is my car sat for several years before i got it. so the paint, unfortunatly. is shot. But some spots are still good, so im expeirmenting with waxes and what not on this paint so i know what i like best when i have new paint on it. SO FAR, im in LOVE with Meguires Gold Class paste, NOT liquid. Even made my car look pretty good. I recently did our 01 silverado ( garage kept, still looks new) and it was a REALLY nice deep shine. Took a lot of time, but sooo worth it

my bad.....what I meant by the "good enough" crowd, was the people that buy the cheaper products just to save a few bucks. with the cheaper products you usually either have to work hareder than you would with a better quality product, or it goes on easy, but you don't get the depth of shine or the durability that you would out of a better product

also, if you want a deep shine to you car, a liquid wax will never give depth like a true carnuba paste will

Guys I think you need to understand that these spray on waxes and polishes are not meant to be your main wax. I've also put a couple really good coats of Meguires wax on my car.. but like I said earlier, I'm not gonna wax my car every weekend.. But I will spray on and wipe off these polish/waxes everytime I wash my car... they bring out the shine really well while your original carnuba wax protects your paint. I never meant that your supposed to use a spray on wax as a "wax".. your supposed to use it for in between waxes. I've also found that the Meguires "wax as you dry" works really well too... spray it on while your car is still wet and dry it off.. its good stuff.

Ice spray detailer is is good for a clay bar lubricant as well. I use it regularly on my Blazer with good results.

meguires has a new quik detailer out it comes in a black bottle (forget the exact name) but runs about $10. verry impressive for a spray and wipe. especially after a decnt wax job. haven't tried any of the ice products yet.

I saw on the Ice car wash soap bottle that it doesn't leave water spots. Is this true? So I could wash my car with Ice and drive around to dry it off without any water spots?

Yes I use the ice synthetic paste polish and love it cleans the headlights and taillights really good as well without residue.. i think this product is well worth it

negative. water spots come from impurities in the water as well as the dirt that WILL settle on the car as its drying. ALWAYS dry your car if you do not want water spots

I bought the ICE liquid wax I believe. It came with a soft cloth and a soft sponge to rub the wax on. It worked real nice but I've only used it once on the camaro. I usually really get into the detailing by buffing out my car with rubbing compound....but that is once every few months at the most. The car never sees rain so it stays in nice shape. That Ice worked great on my Truck though. Easy to wipe off also.

RE: Ice
 
be carefull with that rubbing compound. its abrasive, and it eats away a thin layer of paint every time you use it. Id say once or twice a year at most with compound. Wax... 4 or 5 times a year at most.
