Wow do I love this stuff. Claybarred the truck today then proceeded to use the ICE liquid wax. Great stuff, can't get over the shine. Just wish I had a camera that really captured how great the truck looks. My 11 year old son comes home from school and says "Dad!!!! Did you get the truck re-painted? It looks awesome! Better than the day you brought it home!". The metallic flake in the paint just glistens, I'm totally sold on this stuff!
Just need to pick up some tire shine tomorrow and she will be totally detailed! Well needs a vacuum too but she sure does shine!
I would try the Turtle Wax brand tire shine foam. Comes in a green can and it's almost a foam/spray mix, I forget what Turtle Wax calls it, but anyways, it's the best stuff I've ever used. Doesn't run, doesn't sling off, spray it on and your done and it lasts for a long time.
I stopped using the ICE product due to the amount of dust it collects. I loved how it looked when I finished putting it on but in 2 days it looked like horrible. I hope you have better results and it does look nice!
I've noticed this affect with almost any wax-type product that I've used...seems to just be a downfall to having a beautifully waxed truck.
However, when my vehicles get really dusty following a wax I've found that the wax layer makes it quick and easy to quickly wipe all the dust off with a terry cloth rag...have you found this to be the case with yourself?
My Brother swears by liquid Ice for his Mustang, I snag it sometimes for my interior. It has that new car smell. I use regular turtle wax with the applicator sponge and after about a day the dust does settle on top. It is easy to wipe off. The wax does what it is supposed to. It protects the paint from the elements.
I really love that you can go over plastics and vinyl without the damn white haze! No matter how careful I've been in the past waxing my vehicles I always get wax on trim and plastic pieces.
It really is easy on and easy off. Plus, I also like the fact you don't have to worry so much about the plastic. Been using it for years and will keep using it on my Ram.
Here she is with the tire shine. Literally took me 10 minutes this morning to get the dust off her, no additional wax just a microfiber cloth and a light rub down. I think it will be my new pre-work ritual.
I even applied the ICE Wax to the mirrors and mud flaps they damn near look like I took interior detailer to them. Brings out a nice deep black shine on them.
Only time will tell, I just did this on Friday and it was my first time using the ICE product. Hopefully some of the other guys that have posted in the thread that have used this for awhile can answer.
Used the liquid ice wax today as well as the ice tire shine. Obviously it won't last as long as paste waxes but since I have a tendency to wash and wax every weekend this shouldn't be a problem. Do need some wheel polish so don't mind the water marks on those.
I love this wax, very easy to apply, no streaking even in direct sunlight and no white residue on the trim!
