"Ice" detailing spray is nice!

So, I got my new cooper s and I'm enjoying detailing my car again. I bought some "Ice" spray on detailer. Its good stuff. Just spray, wipe with one side of a microfiber towel, turn it over and lightly wipe again. The car looks great! Nice shine. I even used it on the chrome mirror caps, emblems and black trim. I never have used a detailing spray before, and I'm impressed. Just thought I'd share this with my fellow back yard car washers.

Auto barn has a great package deal on this right now... Not sure what this would go for at Advance Autoparts or a local place, though... Comes with the detail spray, the regular wax, a towel and an applicator... I have to check this stuff out- with all the black plastic on the Mini, something like this would be very nice, indeed...

That package is what I bought. Turtle Wax was selling the package on cable TV. Got me excited, so I bought it. The ice wax also works great, particularly on the black plastic pieces of the cooper s. It makes the black plastic nice and black, with no white residue. Its like water, goes on real easy, and easy to wipe off. I was particularly impressed with the detailing spray like I said. I have already gone thru one bottle of the detailing spray. I also bought some NXT detailing spray. I like the ice better.

I've used the Ice Quick Detailer for months, and I LOVE it !
For what it is, ( a quick detailer ) it's great... But my question is...
How long does the _polish_ keep shining and beading ???

I've read a lot of posts that it doesn't last, but under questioning
several of the posters didn't know that there are two seperate products,
and the people that replied back to me were all using the QD.

The QD does not last more than a week or so, it's not supposed to !
It's for a quick, bright shine between waxings. I use it after every wash,
and my Mini looks showroom new. It's also awesome for removing water spots..( like the ones I get because it rains EVERY time I'm finished washing the car !! )

So my question is, those of you that have bought the POLISH, how long does
your shine last ?? Is it on par with other waxes ??

Thanks,
