Default Anyone using ICE products?

Looking for feedback on the Turtle Wax Ice line. I saw the thread regarding the clay bar, but am interesteed in the rest of the line in particular the polish. I saw an infomercial on it and they state it can be used in direct sunlight.

I have used the Ice polish several times, and will NEVER use it again. In my opinion, it absolutely sucks. The directions say to apply it and then let it dry to a haze, and buff it off. The problem I had was that it never dries to a haze. It just beads up and then when I try to remove it, it just smears. I have to work harder to remove this than any other wax or polish I've ever used.

One upside, it does provide a deep shine on my black car, but it's certainly not worth all of the extra effort.

I use the ICE Car wash soap with Meguiars cleaning wax, very fast and excellent results.

I thought the liquid clay bar worked pretty good, but it was on an old car so it definetly made some imporvements to bad paint, i dont know how its going to work on the newer mustang yet. I thought the polish worked pretty good, but got a much MUCH better shine from NXT spray detailer and its half the work.

I like how the wax looks on my car ... I did the whole car, and liberally applied it, and then buffed it all off, and the car looks and feels great. I also used their liquid clay bar, and it was 10x better than when I had just done the wax. I will definitely be using these products again!

Tried it last summer when it first came out and the finish looked the same as before. There may be a different result on darker finishes, but as with all turtlewax products I have yet to be impressed.

I used the wax- -not impressed. The liquid clay bar on the other hand was simply amazing.

Really? That is interesting. The liquid clay bar looks a lot faster to do than a regular clay bar. I'll have to try it out, maybe just for in between regular claying, if nothing else.
