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.

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.
