I read reports on another forum, and those that used it liked it, but said it did not last a long time.
Your mileage may vary.

What are you looking to gain from this product that you don't acheive with other proven products?

I understand that you may like to try out new products because I am the same way. Although if it were me I would save my money and not buy the ICE. According to members on Autopia no one was really excited about the product when they tried it.

Some positives were it doesn't stain trim and it's thin so it spread quickly.
Some negatives were durability and it smeared (streaked) glass like crazy.

If you give it a try let us know what you thoughts are.

Good luck.

My neighbor used it on his black Pathfinder and it looked pretty good. He said it was easy to wipe off. I'll ask him about the durability.

I have no first hand experience with the product, but I hear that it is much like NXT. It contains a light chemical polish as well as a great deal of silicon, oils, and other fillers. These combine to give a great shine and fill in minor surface imperfections. However, a few washes down the road and these are all stripped away and you are back to square one. If you try the ICE and find otherwise, please let us know.

Old company.............

There's many items on the market that go on easy
and look good for a week or two but if your going
to do the job use something that will last!! My wax
isn't easy to apply and I use microtowels to remove
and buff but it will last months. A complete job
from clay/cleaner/wax takes 3 hours but it's well
worth every minute....results are amazing! I use
Zymol Concours nothing else..ever!!

We tried the "ice" this weekend on my black G, and we were impressed with the results. It was quick and easy to use, while also leaving a mirror shine. I'll have no problems using it again. But then again, washing and waxing the G is just so fun to do, that when it's this easy to wax, I don't mind doing it every weekend (well my girlfriend doesn't mind . I won't stop using NXT Tech, but I'll share the waxing with "Ice".
