I think its okay, its really easy to put on, only takes a few minutes, looks okay, but it washes off almost instantly.

However the bottle lasts forever.

I'm trying the NXT this weeking, hopefully it will be better looking and last longer, I've gotta get a bottle of epic some day...

I don't get it. Ice has been on my car now for a month and has not washed off. You guys must be using some harsh detergent or you got some harsh rain. I dunno.


Keep in mind folks. Ice is a POLISH and not a wax. Polish is made to compliment your wax in between waxing. Basically, give your car a good waxing before using the polish. The Polish will allow you to get quick results and allow your wax a longer life.

I think there is a distinction between the liquid wax spray and wax paste. I've tried both, and the paste was a little harder to remove the excess but seemed to give a better shine.

Their web site indicates that both the liquid polish and the paste polish are waxes.

Uhhhh Don't know where u heard that from, but you are wrongly informed. It is a wax, although i believe it does have some cleaning properties.
And a polish is completely different than a wax. A polish just smooths out the clear coat and takes out small scratches/oxidation and other imperfections, while providing no protection. It strips the old wax and is not made to be used in between waxes.

The name of the product is really misleading. It's called "ICE Liquid Polish," but I believe it is a wax: http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,1,1

Turtle Wax® ICE™ is a clear wax formulated with completely new technology that blends silicone and hydrocarbon polymers to provide extraordinary shine and durability.
But as mentioned, I personally would polish and wax after.

ahh ok now I see where he got the polish idea from. But yea it is a wax. The polish in the title must be a marketing thing or something.

Don't use the liquid clay bar ice. The directions simply say apply and rinse with cool water. I applied it and had to wash my car again to get the haze off that it left behind. I had the Ice polish too but returned it because the other stuff was so crappy. I'm sticking with Meguiar's products.
