ICE tryout

Well I thought I would try something new as my car hasnt been very shiny. So I got some ice form like wallmart and heres the car 2 days later at a autocorss. (I park outside under trees and have a auto-sprinkler system that sprays my car everyday with hard water)



note the cones in the paint!

Very nice.

I tried ICE last year and have been using it ever since. I love not having to worry about the black trim pieces.

ICE is nice but, as another poster said, it doesn't last long. I like the ease of application so I use it.

Epic wax doen't stain the trim, and neither does Slick (detail spray). I last applied Epic in OCTOBER and my car is still that shiny, if not moreso. I used Ice for about 6 months and really liked the shine, but after switching to Epic I've definitely noticed a BIG difference in longevity and smoothness. But Ice IS nice, I'll agree - your car looks geat!
