Hey everybody,
I'll admit there was a time when I wasn't familiar with Meguiars and went ahead and bought a bottle of Turtle Wax Ice. Here's what I have to say about it: It doesn't do anything to correct the paint in any way, shape, or form. It does not even come close. But I will say that it gave a pretty nice, wet, shiny look to the black paint on the car that I was working on. It seems more like putting baby oil on the paint more than anything else.
That said, my question relates to if that Ice has a place among my Meguiars items. The process I'm considering would be:
1) Wash with Gold Class carwash.
2) Clay it (potentially with Dawn to strip off old wax, which I'm fairly sure there is a lot of)
3) Ultimate Compound
4) Ultimate Polish
5) Mirror Glaze
6) ICE
7) Ultimate Wax
What do you all think about the potential for ICE to bring out the black a little bit extra?
There's also a smaller subquestion. I just bought Ultimate Liquid Wax, and I still own a good amount of NXT 2.0. I heard that Ultimate is better for dark paint, and a small part of me likes to think that the ICE may end up widening that difference. I have also heard that Gold Class is very effective on black paint. However, it is not a synthetic wax, which worries me because I am working by hand. It would also require that I invest further in Gold Class. If somebody could rank these on what would make the most sense, I'd appreciate it.
