I have been using ICE also and i really like it. Its easy enough to apply after every wash. I have done it 3 times now on my jk and she looks great. Like you said i dont know how long it lasts but for the ease of putting it on who really cares?

I've had a couple of black cars in the past and used turtle waxs' black majic wax for black cars only. It's a black colored wax so it fills in those tiny scratches and really makes it shine great

I use Ice detail spray when I'm feeling lazy but every 3 months all the vehicles get clayed, Klasse all in one, then Klasse Sealant. Excellent stuff and easily lasts 3-6 months.

I tried the ICE liquid wax (not spray detailer) over the weekend. It goes on extremely thin -- a little like baby oil. It worked wonders on all the plastic parts (including the fiberglass hardtop), but it doesn't offer much (if any) protection against scratches. I took it offroading the day I "ICE'd" it, and I got a few new scratches on the paint and the hardtop from the brush.

Next time I wax, I think I am going to use a thicker wax for the painted parts, and keep using the ICE for the bumpers, rails, hard top and mirrors.

By the way... don't wax your car while nursing a hangover. It's a baaaad idea

Zaino. Once you try it you will love it! Picked up the new X last night and the first coats will go on this weekend.
