You bet, this kind of info is valuable!

I use ICE on my cladding, but prefer the Professional line of products from Meguiars for the body. I used ICE on my black '82 Mustang last month, and then put the cover on. I couple days later it rained, and left horrible streaks on the finish. I had to "wax" it all over again. It's a 16 year old paint job (Glasurit), so it soaks up the wax. Looks great from a distance.
I found the best way to apply ICE was to apply liberally with the provided sponge, let it "dry" for about 15-20 minutes, and then go back over it with a damp cloth followed immediately with a soft dry cloth. This usually prevents streaking, unless it puddles in a crack somewhere. Works great on good cladding.

Jamas, even with the shipping, that's a great deal. I've been using for years! Love it!
I had the mr clean kit for a while, but if you have hard water, that filter only lasts 2 washes, way too expensive for me, so now I have a whole home filtration system, like rainsoft or ecowater, I get a spot free rinse every time....no gadgets for me![]()
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

+1 - Depending on where I was living at the time, the filter never lasted more than 6 washes, usually only two or three at best. (The package claims 10 with a big * beside it.)
In-home filtration is where it's at if you can afford the much bigger but one time (not counting replacement sand) investment.
Needed a new Mr. Clean filter on Sunday so I went to the local auto parts store, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. and couldn't find a single one. Did a little research last night and found that they've been discontinued!Target had the starter kit, but no refills. I did find good deals on refills on eBay (ordered a 5-pack yesterday afternoon with free shipping for $40) but you have to be careful because there are guys selling packs of the "Starter Filter" instead of the "Refill Filter" which only gives you 3 washes per filter instead of 10.
Just a heads up!
WHAT???!!!!!?????!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I use the mothers back to black exterior polish on the cladding. Works wonderful, goes on fast, made for exterior plastic's and lasts well into your next washing. Cheap, like 7 dollars a bottle. Put it on hood insert this last time to see if it would work on such a porus surface and I'll be damned took two or three coats but looke gorgious! Would def recommend
My Recommendation
I did an oil change over the weekend while getting the need supplies i also decided to buy a fuel injector cleaner. The employee at the counter told me to get a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment for 5 bucks. Boy it works! I drove back to school the following day (the trip that usually uses 3/4 a tank) i made back with only using a half tank. I Recommend

Guys... while this thread has a very generic title, it was originally intended to be a recommendation for Mr. Clean and Turtle Wax Ice specifically (if you look at everything before your posts they generally all relate to those two products). Not trying to smack you here, just important to realize that your recommendations won't do as much good if they're buried in a thread that had nothing to do with B2B or Lucas fuel treatment. Maybe consider deleting your posts and moving them into a separate thread? (There's even a B2B thread open right now.)
Just want to make sure the thread doesn't go in another direction altogether.![]()
