i went over my 'rora today 3-step by hand. meguires deep crystal cleaner and polish finished up with the ice stuff. pretty darn good. its a liquid synthetic polymer but the best part is that it dosent leave any residue behind. so you can do all the trim and even the monster tail panel on the classics with out having to get out the toothbrush to clean out the wax out of the cracks. it wasnt cheap, $15 but i only used about 1/10th of the bottle. there is one problem though, being clear it is impossable to tell if its hazed on a white car. the pearlecence is amazing to look at now, well worth the time and effort. ~5hrs. Here is the turtle wax stuff. i also found that meguires nxt interior protectant works wonders on the grey plastic bumper inserts and rockers.

I definitely have to check it out if it works without being a nuisance on vinyl and rubber like that. Too bad we have about ten consecutive rain days coming . . .

Don't know about the turtle wax, but I love the Meguiars 3 step process.

I purchased Turtle Wax Ice last weekend, 6/3, and used it today, 6/10. I was UN-impressed with the product! The only thing it did was not leave any white residue on black plastic parts....that is it! It did not leave a "slick" feel on the finish NOR did it remove any surface scratches with 2 applications! I live in SC and used it on my 2001 Honda Accord and on my 2006 Honda Odyseey. I have to say that this product is not worth the $16 that I paid and did NOT live up to it's claims!
Has anyone has the same experience??

I completely agree...My black 02 was just the same without the light dirt on it. Paint felt the same and looked the same...Works great on plastic...But there isnt much to be said about the paint.

Not sure what you did wrong, but I bought the Ice last weekend and have put it on the Aurora, Bonnie, and Mustang. This stuff is awesome! I have always used Meguairs and am happy with it, but this stuff left a shine like no other, and the paint is as smooth as silk. I just got done washing the Aurora and the car looks absolutely fantastic.

I absolutely love the stuff! I used 2 steps, first for cleaning & light scratches, the second wax step. after one application, I was amazed how well it worked on the scratches and the shine with the second step, get out those sunglasses. very easy to use also. I cant wait to use it again! (or maybe get my hubby to do it next time ) This photo was taken the day after I used it. I cleaned my car all day on my bday only for the starter to go out! but she sure looked good on the tow truck...lol ;D oh, and I used meguires on the tires.

Used the paste version of the ICE polish. Have used it on my Aurora with amazing results.

don't recall if it was the ice or another kind but i saw some wax at o'reillys on the same shelf beside the ice and it was also some kind of new polymer stuff that had a money back guarantee if it wasn't the best wax you have ever used = full refund!
