Do You Wax ? Or Do You ICE ?

[E-ZooZoo One]

Review – Roughly 3 Weeks Later:

The old familiar ‘matte gray’ is starting to show through again - but in all fairness…

(A) Weekend-before-last, Kathy and I drove across the state of Virginia through one of the most intense downpours that either of us had ever seen in our lives… It was like driving through an automated carwash, for almost 3 hours straight, at 50mph (I had to slow way down in order to see where I was going – even with RainX + the windshield wipers on high). --- Afterward, I noticed that we had lost a bit of the shine.

(B) Some road construction along our route to work, combined with a number of intermittent showers, have conspired to deposit quite a bit of dirt and rock dust… which, in the past week, has apparently leached the last remaining polymers off of the cladding.


Still, the ICE lasted longer than Mother’s Back-to-Black – and it did so amid considerably worse weather conditions…

With it being so much easier to apply, I doubt I’ll mind ICE-ing it every 2 weeks-or-so…
Plus, with it taking so little of the stuff, I probably have another 10 or 15 applications left in the bottle!


On a scale of 1 to 5…
All-in-all, I suppose I’ll give the ICE 3.5 Stars
And for comparison, the Back-to-Black gets a 2

After reading this thread I to tried the ICE...
It did not blacken up the cladding as much as I would like, even after two applications. But to be fair, she's been an outside car since I bought her in 2001 (and neglected a bit) so the cladding is pretty bleached. I to figured EZ-Z's method out for myself and it works better. The ICE is less staticly charged than other products I have tried.

After Two Weeks:
The ICE has held its color better than anything else I have tied. We had a good thunder storm the other day and I noticed some light streaking on the nose where water runs off the sharp corners of the hood. Other than that no problem and the water does bead off it excellently.
