God that vette is so sweet!

 

I just used the liquid clay bar and paste wax a week or 2 ago. I argee with what others have said, the liquid claybar is pretty much just a good car wash. Next time ill use a real claybar.

Here are some pics of it done

Psst.

There's three there

 

ICE is not a wax folks, its a polish, think of it like step 4 in a 3 Stage wax But, if you use it like that it's quite good. You can use it on the plastic, shines the car well, but it's gone after 2 or 3 washes.
Do Not buy the liquid clay bar.. it does not work, you have to use a real clay bar.

 

what do you guys thing of the meguires 3 step process? cause step one to get the crap off the car is sprayed on.

 

so ICE isnt that good of a wax? what would yall prefer?

 

What would I prefer? Well, here is my short list...in no particular order.

Paste Waxes:
P21S Concours
Victoria Concours Red Wax
Poorboy's Natty's Blue
Meguiars #16 Paste Wax
Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax

Liquid Waxes And Sealants:
Klasse High Gloss Sealant
Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845
Optimum Poli-Seal
EX-P Pure Sealant

I'm sure most of you haven't heard of any of these. Mainly because they aren't over the counter products. I tend to stay away from anything that can be bought at Wal-Mart, since your paying for a name, and products that don't perform as good as most of these boutique waxes.

Needless to say, nothing with the Turtle Wax brand name on it will ever touch my car. The only over the counter brand that I'll even consider is Meguiars, but that's it.

 

ice is great.
so is eagle one nano.
super fast easy great shine.
but that deep shine from a high quality liquid/paste wax isnt there, I dunno about you, but i can see a difference in the red and black vettes.
and your lucky if it will still be there a week from now in hot weather.
I use it more as a quick detailer.
its great if you have little time, but your ok with doing it alot more often.

for a full wax I use Mothers pure carnuba solid wax, in the big round tin.
love that stuff.

 

I just purchased a 3 step system from a company in Vegas - www.glare.com

90% of the detailing shops around here use it - one of them has the contract for the ambulances and police cars. It works REALLY well. The website is annoying as hell though.

 

that stuff looks great.

i think ill stick to meguiars after i use my ICE.

 

I think the thing most of you guys are neglecting to see is that ICE only fills in imperfections where a real clay bar will help to remove them by lifting them away. One is like putting a bag over an ugly chicks face while you do her the other is like getting her a facelift.

Anyway, I bought some ICE claybar and wax and I intend to do half my hood with it and half with Meqs claybar and gold class wax. I hope to be able to get an accurate comparison between each that way. I will keep people posted in the coming weeks on how it does.

 

nice. +rep for helpin cobalt owners

 

I just used the liquid clay bar and i think it works pretty good. Not as good as a regular clay bar, but it still got a lot of grit and nasty stuff out of the paint that u cant get off by just washing and waxing.

 

i personally dont like the ice ****.. i called them and im getting my money back. meguiars NXT generation tech wax all the way!

 

the ICE paste sucks on the car but it's a wonder on the black plastics, FWIW

haven't tried ICE liquid though

 

^^what do u use?

 

meguiar's gold class liquid but switching to paste once the bottle is empty since it lasts a bit longer on the car. ICE paste goes on my black plastics and trim. meguiar's foam on the tires. glass cleaner on the wheels after they're washed, then ICE quick detail on them. armor all interior cleaning wipes to wipe down the interior.

i suck at cleaning glass though so i let my fiancee mess with that, lol. when i do it it's either streaky or foggy on the inside or both. i've tried everything, newspaper, dry cloth baby diaper with no cleaning solution, you name it.

 

When I eventually do my car with the Glare stuff I will take some pictures of before and after. I figure for the amount of money I have spent on **** products in the past $100 isn't a lot to spend on something that is going to last and is actually going to work. PLUS it does your car 5 times (considering they guarantee it will last up to 5 yrs).

 

yea i bought this crap from autozone and it left my ss-sc with this nasty after look, it looked like there was a layer of baby oil on the car, and it would not come off, and i did it in the shade, i had to pay 75.00 to get this stuff off the car,

DO Not use turtle wax, ice, IT DOES NOTHING

 

its not wax it is polish. it does not take the place of wax.. it is for inbetween waxes

 

I do believe there is a Turtle Wax ICE wax, and a Turtle Wax ICE polish...both come in paste and liquid form.

 

i just went to wal mart and got some meguiars gold class paste wax. where can i get a clay bar except wal mart. that one is really small.

 

Try autozone, advanced auto parts, etc, etc. It takes less then you think to do your car. With a Meqs bar I usually get 2-3 clay barrings out of one piece.

 

it was mothers or sunthin like that. is that the one you are talkin bout?

 

I wasted 30 dollars on the ICE Claybar and the ICE liquid wax... I have always used either mcguiars or mothers and always had great results from them. The only results in got from this ICE bullshit was having to take a trip to the local body shop to get my hood sanded down with super fine sandpaper and then rebuffed with an orbital buffer and clearcoat because a seagull decided to take a **** on my car one day during a four hour drive and by the time i got home to wash it that night the paint had the permenant impression from the acid in the birdshit burning right through the wax and the clearcoat. I tried bug and tar remover, liquid clay bar, regular clay bar and sponges and none of it took the burn mark off the paint until i had it sanded and buffed. So dont waste your money on this stuff. Get some Liquid Glass and enjoy the results.
