I just put some Meguiar's professional polymer sealant on last weekend; ; it's a lot of work, but it sure looks great after you're through!

 

I used the folowing combination for the first time on Tuesday based on various feedback that I've seen in posts: ICE car wash 3oz/gal even though the instructions say about 1oz; Mother's Clay Bar system to get the excess dirt/grime off (this is the 1st time ever that I used a clay preparation and they were out of the ICE Clay at the store); ICE liquid wax, Mcguires (tire stuff).

The wax (final step) took about 10 minutes to apply to my entire H3 - I even put it on the rubber around the windows, mud guards, bumpers...all of the black plastic. It buffed off by hand like magic, incredibly easy. They should have called this stuff ICE MAGIC. My truck looked better than it did the day I got it from the dealership. I don't think the pics do it justice. I am sold on this stuff.

I know, it's great! You can goop it on everything

 

This is one detailing product I can't lay claim to have found on my own..ALL the credit goes to Mark (dilo) for being the first one on this forum to introduce us to ICE..

Thanks Mark[sm=hail.gif][sm=hail.gif][sm=hail.gif]

 

I bought the ICE this past weekend and I'll use it the next time I wax. I say that because I just did both of my vehicles with Meguiar's Cleaner Wax and, man-o-man, did they ever come out nice! It was amazing to see the difference in the amount of dirt that came out of the paint on each car. My Toyota had a lot come out but my LR had very, very little. Then I reminded myself that whenever my LR is not being driven, it's in the garage. That was the difference right there. I swear the paint job looks as good as the day I bought it. I'm anxious to try the new ICE now and see how that goes. I read on another forum, Lexus I think, that ICE is neither a wax nor a polish, but a sealer. Anyone have any feelings on that?

 

I think that would be a fair statement Lane...It sure can't polish out scratches and it is a sythetic polymer compound..But I think everyone here will agree that it maybe better called a SHINER/protectant![sm=shades.gif]

When you do you it Lane, it will go over whatever kinda wax you already have on and really enhance the shine and depth of the finish..plus on the hippo, it would work good on all the plastic trim parts too.

 

Dennis....yes, that's going to be a real bonus, for sure. It says that you can put it on metal, plastic, tires, etc. So, if I can do the whole vehicle with one shot then I be's a happy camper. BTW, I just bought a new bottle of Vinylex and I noticed the color of the liquid is now yellow, not white any more. I wonder if they reformulated or if I got a weird lot. (???) It seems to perform as usual though.

 

Lane, Since I've been using ICE I haven't used any Vinylex at all...

 

Wow! If it's that good then I can't wait to try it. [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

So I have to say, just like everyone else has said, This is good she it. It made the car very smooth and I felt the difference with the ICE and no ice.
