Re: Turtle Wax Ice
Mine did have wax on it from the delaership - at least they told me it did. And it did appear to bead when it rained, but not to the extent a good wax product and job will give paint.
On that note, Meguiar's Gold definitely gives better results in rain than does ICE. Again, this reinforces that ICE is only a polish. Although if that is the case, I am not sure why they have the base polich and then the touch up spray - wouldn't they be the same at that point?
The way I apply ice is to use the foam applicator pad. I do one body panel at a time (one wet, while I a drying the previous after the initial panel application). Once it is dry (it should dry physically almost like rubbing alcohol would and well under a minute), I take a soft cotton or microfiber cloth to it (like the one that came with the detailer spray). The first buffing pass should be with a moderate amount of pressure. The second and third passes should be with progressively lighter pressure. Mine turns out like mirror after this.
I try to do this in the shade but it does say it can be applied in direct sunlight. I haev done both and I think it is easier to work with in the shade. You don;t have to hurry as much. I think excessive heat may make it streak.
