Five page thread about it over on Bimmerforums...

http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=510339

I used it on my friend's car... it was too thin for me and the humidity in Missouri made the dry time forever compared to what other people are reporting.

I GOT IT I GOT IT....... ..... but haven't use it yet. I will let you know how it is after I use it. I think what attracted me to buy it is that it won't leave any white marks like other wax products, hopefully it works as advertised.

I think it's a good product to buy OTC. But from reading the Bimmerforums, doesn't seem like it lasts long.
I always get better results and longevity with Menzerna, 3M, One Grand and more recently Zaino.

People over at autopia tried it for a bit when it came out... It works really nice and looks really crisp... Only issue everyone reported was its lack of durabilty... On the other hand, everyone there, including myself, found a better use for it.... TRIM AND PLASTIC. It makes trim and plastic look brand new and last a bit longer on plastic than on paint...

I think this stuff is great. I will not use anything else.
But you have to use two coats and the Detailer to get the best result. And be careful! The paint must be perfectly clean. Rests of other polish, dirt or tar are covered by the Ice and can not be removed without removing the Ice...

I tried it once on a black car, and absolutely hated it. I would NEVER use it again. Was really hard to remove and streaked like crazy. I would avoid it if I were you, I would rather use turtle wax original than that stuff, and that's saying a lot.

I concur about the trim. I have an 03 Jeep Wrangler that hasn't been very well cared for while I am overseas. When I came back, all the wheel flares and outside plastic/trim had a dull weathered look to it from MN winters. I put the Ice on it and it came out creat. I have to say I hated the liquid claybar. Either I misread the simple instructions, I had a bad batch or the product sucks. Either way, I would have been better using a dirty dishrag to clean my Jeep. If I had used this on my BMW, I would have had to hurt someone.

Hate to ask the obvious but aren't the instructions on the bottle?

The instructions are there but, if I remember right, it didn't work the way it said. Basically, the instructions say to apply the liquid to the car with the applicator with firm pressure. The next step was rinse with water. What happened though was that the stuff dried to the paint, didn't take the contaminants off and was absolute hell to "rinse" off. I don't begrudge anyone else using the stuff and I hope they have better results than I did but I won't use it again.

i've read the bottle, but like sapperelite said even though it says what it says results don't come out as desired with following the direction on the bottle
