5.0 out of 5 stars Great for frequent detailers, hides blemishes on black vehicles, May 16, 2006

I've been a long steady purchaser of Meguiars products. This is the first "wax type" product I've found that rival's the Meguiars NXT results. While it doesn't last long,this product hides blemishes on a black vehicle very very well. Micro scratches, scratches, rock dents in the front bumper, metal, plastic, eveyrthing....

Very very easy to put on. You could probably apply to the whole car in 10-15 minutes max. Pretty easy to remove. Because it's great for plastic too, there is no time wasted trying to keep it off of your window rubber/trim or any other plastic on the vehicle. It is about the consistency of Rain X.

Goes on very easy, comes off decently, leaves astounding results. For those who detail frequently, dislike white powder in the cracks and want to use a product that won't build up, this is it. This is the first new wax type product I've been happy with in about nine years. Not sure if I'll quit using Meguiars NXT but definitely less frequently.

This stuff is a MUST for anyone that plans on trading in a black vehicle. You'll definitely make back the money and time you spend on "icing" the vehicle with an increased trade in value due to the dramatic hiding of scratches and blemishes. Only question pending is durability. I know it at least lasts two weeks because that's how long its been on the car.

If you detail at least every two weeks then you should be very happy to switch to this product from Meguiars NXT. If you are a "wax a couple times per year" this is not a product for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The easiest to use wax I have ever used, June 13, 2008

Here is the reply I got from Turtle Wax (Shelley's) Australia about this wax, I wrote to them after reading that negative reply... I must say I have waxed my car 5 times and have used less than half the bottle of wax.. I was also impressed with the ease of use and how quickly the job can be done (around 30 minutes).
This ICE is great..

Thankyou for your enquiry.

The ICE product does contain a small amount of carnauba wax, however the majority is a blend of synthetic waxes.

The terms "wax" and "polish" are virtually interchangeable these days, but going by traditional definitions a polish is a product that contains a cutting agent that removes oxidised paint while a wax is a protective layer over the painted surface.

Therefore, by traditional standards, ICE Polish is actually a wax as it contains no cutting agent and sits on the painted finish to form asmooth layer/shine. That is why ICE Polish is suited better to newer cars or cars with newer paint finishes.

Older painted surfaces would need to be prepped with products such as ICE Liquid Clay Bar or Scratch and Swirl before using ICE Polish.

The ICE Detailer was designed to refresh the original shine of the polish after washing to obtain optimal results. It does not need to be used.

ICE Polish is designed to make water bead off it, like all other good polishes. This is from the smooth finish, which is the reason for the high shine level. I have never heard of this as being a negative before.

One of the people in the office drives a blue car and they use the Ice Paste and have never had an issue with bad water spotting.

To summarise, ICE does leave a wax layer to protect your paint surface. It is the hardest polish in our range, just beating F21 Paste and Super Hard Shell Paste.

In relation to layering, there is no correct answer here as the more effort you put in, the better the result. There is no limit to the number of layers, the more layers that go on, the deeper the finish. Serious car enthusiasts have been known to put 12-15 layers on thier cars. However you need a high quality paint job to get the best results from the layering effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great results, September 25, 2006

This review is from: Turtle Wax T-468 Ice Liquid Polish, 16 ounces (Misc.)

I have a 6yo "Fire Pepper Red" Honda Accord and a 2yo Silver Honda CRV. The Accord hood looks like I drive on the beach or something, with all the tiny pin-prick chips sealed with traditional car wax. The CRV has more black plastic bumper material than any car in history.

I washed both cars and applied the polish in cloudy, 75degree weather.

1. The polish goes on very easy. It has a light oil feel too it, without feeling oily. Hard to explain. But it goes on very smooth.
2. The polish comes off much easier than normal wax, although on dark cars it requires a bit more wiping. No elbow grease here.
3. The polish works wonders on black vinyl/plastic. So much better than waxing without getting wax on the plastic, then using ArmorAll without getting it on the paint. This does both.
4. All those white pin-prick chips on the hood are nearly invisible now. My 6yo car looks new.
5. The scratches I've polished with marginal results are totally invisible now.

The only trick is light-colored cars. It's a little bit hard to make sure you wiped it all off. But that's much better than realizing 2 days later that I missed a long strip of white wax.

I've used about every car wax on the market, and this is the ONLY one that surprised me.
