Ice looks pretty damn good and is the easiest wax to put on i have ever used in my life. But, it doesnt seem to last, attracts dust to the car, and just doesnt seem to me atleast that itll protect my car (UV rays, bugs and what not) I did do a full waxing of Ice on my car, then washed it the next week, glazed and waxed my car with meguires and it looks amazing. Its a black car, so I think the natural stuff gives it more of that wet look where ICE just makes it more of a mirror finish without the depth.

I was going to buy ICE, but I was hesitant, it just seemed a little to strange and i've also heard mixed reviews about it so I was unsure. I ended going with NXT and love it, but i guess it wouldn't hurt to try ICE out, especially becuase everyone says its so easy.

i recently tried ICE on a black acura, It was hard to take off and I didn't think it brought out the reflection as much as NXT.

The trick with Turtle Wax Ice is you have to let it sit just the right amount of time...My first time around, I did it at night (11+PM) and left the wax on for about 10 minutes. It was a $^%#@ to get off. May have to do with the humidity. But anyway, I tried a few more times, during the day, and let it sit for about 2 or 3 minutes. I got great results, and the paint is very, very smooth.

ICE is crap dont waist your money. i used it and i think it is garbage. I would never use it again. Do a real wax job with some meguiers or some other good wax.

Tried TWI and thought it sucked.

Really streaky, it rained 3 nights in a row after I did it and it etched even though I wiped the car clean every morning.

Heard a lot of mixed reviews with the ICE. I have been using Griot's "best of show wax" and its pretty good.
