Use Meguiar's NXT product. It's also a synthetic which is much better (subjective, I know) than the natural products. It chemically bonds with the paint, making buffing unnecessary and actually irrelevant. Wipe on, wipe off, you're done. No fancy technique required and it looks great and lasts a long time.

That's odd, I just completely detailed my truck yesterday and used Ice polish on EVERYTHING.It went on and came off like a dream. I'm a sucker for "new and flashy" and I'll be the Guiney Pig EVERY time . Of course, you have to let it "dry" more than the recommended 3-5 minutes the bottle says. Also, don't expect to simply wash the truck and toss it on and not have a hard time getting it off. Any polish, especially an "oil" type like Ice, requires a proper prepped surface. The finished product will only come out as well as the preparation. But overall I was impressed with it. Paint looks VERY shiny and deep. I had no problems with it, and would tell everyone to give it a try...

Wait until it starts running out of the places near the handles and mirrors. You will be cleaning this stuff up for a week after you apply it. It leaves a film when it creaps out from the door handles after a rain.

When I used it I could not get it to dry on my truck. It was a pain. It never got the haze the package said it would. I do like that it does not turn pasty white on the black trim.


It smells good though

Lol, it does smell good! Has every bug in the neighborhood come to check out the "big new blue flower" while I was putting it on.I have already heard the horror stories of over application in cracks and crevices, so I was shy about putting it places where I would see it dribble/run out in a week.

it may be good but when any of those over teh counter waxes like meguairs and turtle wax are stacked up against good high quality synthetic sealants like zaino and Klasse there is no comparison at all. sealants go to an entirely new level when it comes to protecting your finish and giving good shine.


and dude with blue mega that does look great but trust me get zaino and apply it and literally the results will be tenfold better, and your truck already looks amazing and i'm saying it'll look ten times better.
