I tried this product about a month ago. I was impressed witht the ease of application, but a little disappointed the shine. It looked good, but it seems I get a better gloss with traditional wax. On the other hand I absolutely love that it doesn't leave white residue. I think I'll keep using it for that reason alone. There are a few pics in my profile of my blaze right after I used ICE

I agree with you on that point. Another good thing I love about the ICE is that if you get some on the doorhandles or any plastic trim, it just shines it up. I use ICE on my entire truck including door handles and the bumper. It doesn't leave any white residue on plastic. I used to use a cream wax and I got a little on the drivers side door handle and had to scrub it off with a wire brush and dawn dishsoap. The only thing I have a problem with is I can't seem to get it to shine really nice. I just bought a Simoniz car wash system at Ocean State Job Lot (discount store here in new england). I am using Meguiars Classic Gold car wash and then I use ICE. This time when I clean it, I bought a buffer to buff out the streaks cause the sun is shining on my driveway all day long. Shade is a hard thing to come by unless it's cloudy out, but then it usually rains.

Yeah should atleast wax your vehicles once a year if you want the paint to last and look good years later. It also helps against rust, since the paint is in good condition and doesnt chip away then, leaving open metal to become rusty and then get under the rest of the paint.

I wash and wax my blazer really well once before winter and once in the spring. It sits outside a lot and this really helps keep the paint looking good an makes for easy washing (unless I have mud everywhere, lol).

My dad started using it and now I use it and I love it. I also wash and wax the whole entire vehicle just before winter and as soon as its warm enough in the spring. I also periodically throughout the winter (once a week or more depending on how much I drive) take mine to the carwash just up the road from my house to wash all the damn salt and brine they use on the road ( I live in Illinois and we do get a bit of ice but the idiot plow drivers think that they need 100 lbs of salt per foot.lol.) and then I go straight home to a heated garage so my door locks don't freeze and let it dry. Doing this has really kept me from alot of rust as most cars around here are totally rusted underneath.

Don't waste your money lol. I put it together one day to use it on my truck. I filled the thing with car wash and screwed the cup onto the handle. I turned the water on and BLAM! The cup broke in half and shot all the car wash stuff all over me. I proceeded to put it back together with a rubber band holding the cup on without the car wash soap. I figured I would just use the jet attachment. I turned the water on again. BLAM! The whole **** thing spilt into three peices right at the seams. How cheap can you get. I will never waste my money on any simoniz product ever again and nobody else should either. They SUCK!

Iheard they were s**t the employee at the store walk up to me and out of nowhere was like"dude thats a piece of ****, don't waste your money". What an endorsement huh, if the guy that suppose to be promoting the product says that its s**t says alot about the faith they have in the products that they sell.lol.

No Grand Prix in this thread...

They were Hankook tires, not Goodyear. Regardless, this post is... old...
