Honestly Ice is like a spray on detailer and only will last a short time. I notice it also runs in the rain. Just my personal opinion.

The kit i bought comes with the spray detailer, to use between waxes. the wax itself is a liquid wax that u put on like nomal, wait a few mins for it to set and turn white, then buffer off. the kit has 4 componets. A cleaning solution for when u wash your car, the liquid wax, the spray detailer and a conditioner for your interior, 2 microfiber cloths and an application sponge, 30$ CAD, not bad... ill post pics when i get them

I understand, what im saying is the longeverty of the wax is a little better then a spray on detailer. Ive used it on my black truck and it looked good but just didnt last long as far as protection. I just think there is better detailing products out there. Im always trying something new.

Poorboys has a great line so does Meguires professinal line (they have #`s for there product like #80 is there Speed Glaze) For winter protectent I have Colinite 845 being delivered today with some Poorboys products. I`ll try to post a pic of my truck after a Meguires detail. Detailing is just a hobby of mine thats turning me into OCD. lol

Haven't tried the ice wax but the spray detailer gives the best shine of any product that I have used yet...better than meguiars ultimate quick detailer or mothers.

I use TW Ice car wash because it's relatively cheap (weekly washes quickly add up). I mix that with a capful of Optimum No Rinse in an Autogeek foam gun and it works pretty well.

Ive used it, works good, use the quick detailer and it last as long as any other wax, like one wax seller told me, whats a long time? most car people wax their cars every 1-2 months anyway.
The good thing about Ice is you can use it on flat black or black textured moldings, even under the hood and it makes everything shine and dosent run, wash away, or get sticky abd attract dirt like a lot of plastic care products.

TW runs and turns your rubber molding chaulk white after a few weeks. And I think the statement about everyone waxing every 1-2 months depends on where you live. Up North where its in the single digits (if not less) for 4 months out of the year really doesnt leave you many options for detailing never the less washing your car. Thats why at this time of the season I detail all my cars/trucks and try to get a few coats of Colinite 845 stacked on the paint. If TW works for you keep using it, for me personally it did nothing but cause more work for me to correct the chaulk white molding.

Adams has some good products as does Zaino have even better products. Im surprised Zaino pushed someone elses product. You guys are definitly luck to have good weather all year round. By the way nice truck. A good friend of mine has an 02 HD.
