Give me a yell if you want some adam

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 1:13 pm

I've used it, albeit it on a shitter car, and it came up alright. Would probably give better results on a better paintjob. Bloody easy to apply!

Do you sell it at Mitre 10? How much yo?

by **Alex B** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 3:55 pm

40 Bucks retail from memory. Who pays retail these days?

by **gleem** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 5:55 pm

It's good stuff however at 40 bux a pop i wouldnt think its worth it, im importing heaps of car care products soon, meguiars waxs polishes etc are about 6 bux us over there when they are around $30 i would suggest doing the same but you need to get a fair bit so its worth it as shipping is around $50 us.

Its good for about 30-40 applications says the rep. So it probably works out cheaper. Getting any autoglym in by chance?

Just to bring up an old post, in assumption more people have now tried ice,
What are peoples experiences?
I almost bought some the other day, but have heard mixed reviews, from people saying its great, to others saying it streaks easy and 'does not protect as much' (unsure how they know this).
So yeah, worth the $$ or nothing special in peoples opinions?

I've tried it on my Skyline and although the paint job is 17 years old it did seem to make it a bit shinier i think. Definately made it slippery, so the seagull found out one time when it kept trying to land on the bonnet but always slipped off. :lol:

It has a really nice smell. It can be applied no matter if the sun is shining or not. Instead of making rubber parts etc white it makes them black/the proper colour etc.

its bloody awesome stuff. I have a garage full of Mothers and Meguires products and the whole lots getting binned in favour of Turtlewax ice. I used stuff all and it did EVERYTHING, the paint, the plastic, the carbon parts and the wheels and tyres.

At $40 it IS worth it, as its effortless to use, uses minial product and you dont need 3 or 4 different products in the system like Mothers and Meguires - At $20 to $40 each - $90 to $120 a system!)

by **gleem** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 5:16 pm

give me your mothers and meguiars if your going to bin them

by **Ae92typeX** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 7:15 pm

Well I took the ole rubber band off the wallet (why do old men do that?) and bought some this arvo. Wont get around to aplying till next weekend, but will post my opinions on how it went.

The best stuff I have ever used is

here

buy that stuff and you will not regret it.

and remember that a wax is only the final step its the work you put in underneath it that counts

For the record, the above wax is what I used on Pugs' integra before its NZPC shoot, shiniest car I have ever seen in that mag

made the car very slippery as well

maybe its time you did a how-to on proper car cleaning? :wink:

i wash, then wax
and thats it
about every 10 years :lol:

This guy has an absolutely astounding detailing guide. No real photos in the PDF, but the original thread on the SA forums had a few pics of people who followed it, it makes a dull black car up to a mirror finish.

Ive added 500 Bucks to a car before just from a cut an polish.

worth the hour or so

by **Ae92typeX** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 4:58 pm

Yeah, I always give a car a good wax or if required cut and wax before I sell. Makes all the difference imo

I know wax/polishing a car is just the final stage, much like paint is the final 5% when painting. I generally wash my cars every week & wouldnt mind something I can apply with ease say each month, hence I'll give Ice a trial. Cars would probably get a fuller detail once a year really...

Wax makes it easier to wash to if you have enough on there. Just use heaps of water and lots of suds comes up mint
