Tried the new Turtle Wax " ICE " Liquid Polish!
Well today was a nice day so I decided to wash and wax the car. I had to go to Pep Boys to pick up a few things and saw the new polish that Turtle wax has came out with called Ice. This Polish is crystal clear and looks to be like water so I was a little skeptical of buying it, but decided to try it out. This polish leaves no white powdery residue and can be applied to taillights and black plastic or any sortof plastic for that matter. It can also be applied in direct sunlight. Well, I have to say this was the easiest polish I have ever used as I didn't have to mix anything, go back and get the wax out of the cracks or take caution around plastic pieces. The results I had were astounding. Take a look at this on the turtlewax website. Here are a couple pics I took after applying one coat.

Thanks guys! I really couldn't believe how easy this was to apply! I paid around $16.00 for the polish, and it included the applicator pad and a nice thick microfiber towel. Hopefully it will hold up to the harshness of the weather, but time will tell.

very nice -
hey, I really dig those black wheels too
with all the choices we have in the market these days, I think you should definitely be using something that
I'm just keeping mental track in my head, but so far the only ones I know that seem to hit all of these are
I'm sure there are a few others, so chime in if you know one - I'll keep a running list. But once you use a product that doesn't stain trim or leave dust, you never want to go back to standard carnauba again.

Q: How long will Ice Polish last?
A: Ice polish will cause water to bead on an automotive finish like a fine wax or polish. Ice will bead water and shine for at least 3 to 4 months under normal weathering conditions. However Ice is easy to use and works so well on all exterior surfaces including plastic, chrome, and rubber you may find yourself applying the product more often maintain a high reflective shine.

The water beading is still there but shine isn't. Had to use a lot of their detail spray to try to regain some of the shine back.
I think the next time I use ICE I will top it off with Pinnacle Souvern and see if there is a difference in appearance.
