This by far is the best product I have ever used on my car. I have a 2007 Saturn Vue with lots of black trim. I have always noticed how as the car ages, the black plastic along the bottom fades to a light gray. Normal waxes leave a white residue. This product worked great on the black trim as well as the body overall. It will not remove scratches. I did that with a polish. ICE is a clear liquid like baby oil. Goes on easy with a supplied pad and wipes off easy with a microfiber cloth. No residue. The more coats you apply, the deeper the shine. It takes 15 min tops to do the entire car. I spent more time looking at the results then the actual work of applying the product. I also applied this to my newly purchased Honda. Beautiful results!!

The first time I used this product I wasnt satisfied at all. Here are the reasons why it didnt work well. I over applied it. If it beads you are using WAY too much and it will take forever to remove. I also applied it to a finish that needed a serious cleaning. You have to either buff the car first with a swirl remover or use a clay bar to remove ALL the surface contaminants or you will get steaking. Lastly I didnt dry the car well and applied over water spots which caused streaking as well. Easy fix for this is to keep a very slightly damp micro fiber towel handy and just go over the area after the first attempt to remove the wax. The water spots disappear and and no more streaking when you go back over with a dry micro fiber cloth. The finish doesnt last for more than a couple months but since I can now(since the surface has been properly cleaned)wax the car every month in about 20-30 minutes who cares? My time is worth more than the price of the product used. You use so little each time that it is actually cheaper than other products. Bottom line is it took some time to get used to but is far easier once you unlearn the way you used to wax a car. Remember this is NOT A POLISH and you have to prep the surface before the first time using it. Being able to apply to EVERY surface of the exterior also saves time and money buying/applying other products for plastic/rubber trim. It also outlasts other products on plastic/rubber trim without leaving a residue behind. Those of you that have used certain ultimate tire shine products understand. You end up having to scrub it off after a few applications cause it builds up and stops shining. So if your time is worth more than a couple bucks buy this product. Turn an all afternoon wax job into about a half hour.

This product is great! I used it on all exterior surfaces of my black BMW X5 and it hid scratches and gave a great shine. For the price I could not be happier. This product is a must have for anyone interested in keeping their car looking great. Use this and then a wax coat over it and your car will look fantastic. I only used about an ounce of the polish and applied it with the provided sponge and wiped clean with a MC. It made the plastic on my car shine and look better than new. Only took about 30 minutes. I can't say enough about this product. Remember when applying that a little goes along way!

PROS: Very easy to apply and buff off, can wax the entire car very quickly, can be applied to black trim, leaves a very nice shine

CONS: Doesn't last long (at least on vehicles that are non-garaged)

I washed and dried my car, clayed using Meguiar's clay kit to remove oxidation, and then used their cleaner wax to make sure that the paint was prepped for the ICE. It was incredibly easy to apply and it was great not having to worry about getting it on the plastic and rubber trim, in fact I purposely applied it to trim to see the results. It was also the quickest I have ever waxed a car, it was more like using a quick detailer than traditional waxes. I have to say, it leaves an impressive shine and the ease of use is great.

The major downside to this product is longevity. It rained the day after I applied this and the paint already lost all of its slickness and some of the shine. Now at about two weeks in the finish doesn't seem to be beading or sheeting in the rain, it appears that the product is basically gone. My car is never garaged - so it's exposed to the daily elements of weather and bird droppings and all that crap. I also only applied it once. Maybe if I had put on a few coats of it and the car was garaged I would have seen better results. I applied Meguiar's NXT 2.0 to my wife's car a few weeks ago and the paint still feels slick and the shine is still there as well. I wish NXT didn't stain the trim though!

Overall this is a great product to use if your car is kept in a garage, or you don't mind waxing often. Personally, I prefer products that last a bit longer so that's why I only give it three stars. I think I will keep the ICE around though and use it for a quick shine between waxes.

I have a 2000 Cherokee with dark maroonish paint, and this stuff works great. Goes on easy, wipes off easy. I wax it in my garage, and let it almost completely dry, then use a bunch of micro towels and it works perfect. Have not used the clay product, just use the ICE wash, then the wax. For me it lasts and lasts, maybe because the Jeep is garaged all the time to keep it out of central CA heat.

It doesn't do plastic trim nearly as well as Mothers Back to Black, that works great.
