    LOL If that's the case, I don't think I want to know what's under/in my paint. LOL I'll stick with my buffer, thank you.

    I tried the Ice this last weekend, and was not impressed, had to do the cladding with 2 coats, will see how it holds up in all this rain we are supposed to get, but hard to take off and looks smudged.
    Ask forgiveness, not permission.

    I had to wax the VX and, being the lazy SOB I am, I tried the ICE.

    In summary ... not bad ... and being able to do the cladding is a huge bonus in my book as she looked very sleek and sexy when done plus the effort was minimal. However, I did not use any product on the cladding prior to applying ICE and, if you are seeking the elusive "dark black" cladding, you won't find it from just using this product (my experience - YMMV).

    After one week, I'm somewhat disappointed, but I do believe that this has more to do with the road salt used here in Utah than anything else. The day after applying it rained cats and dogs. The wax beaded nicely, but residue was left on the body panels and cladding when it dried. Again, I think this is largely due to the amount of road salt used here in Utah - that and we're just coming off a big spring storm ...

    Bottom line - very easy to apply, great look when done and can be applied to the cladding. I'm definitely going to finish the bottle and sound back with more long term results.

    Best,

    Jim

    Yes, but after going over and over the paint I used a regular towel. It may be because of the color of silver that is easier to see the hazing. The hood insert had swirl marks that I could not get out, but after the second coat it looked tons better with no swirls. I am not saying its bad, I like the convienience of one product for everything, but for the paint I think I like the Meguires NXT wax (I think thats what its called) I only wash/wax it a few times a year anyway.....

    Sheeting

    Is there any product that causes water to sheet off instead of bead and pool? I hate the water spots caused by the hard water in this area. They're almost impossible to get rid of.
