E30 Zone

Bought this last week and i used it on the cab with good results.
Did the 4 door with it a few days ago(pics taken today) and i wont be going back to meguairs.
Anyone else using ice ?

looks like good stuff, nice work lookin very shiney
i use autogleam untral deep shine witch is good, always brings it back up nice

Dont know what the autogylm stuff cost but this cost £12.50 from halfords and came with applicator sponge and fibre cloth and judging by the amount i have use you will get well over ten polishes from the 473ml bottle.

I think it a really good value for money polish and you can go over everything with it.

i've used zymol alot but i do like the look of this!

The initial finish it gives seems to be pretty good, But what's it's durability like?

It's certainly an interesting looking product.

the auto gleam is £12 for 500ml on its own
so that ice sounds like good stuff, might give it a go when i run out lol

Will have to wait and see about the durability side of it Dave but it was done on Monday and its been raining everyday since.The car hasnt moved since it was done thou except a 5min run to the shops and back.

i seen this advertised on DAVE or something and ever since ive been meaning to buy some. the end results look good

Review http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/products/p ... x_ice.html

An alternative to the Ice is the Autoglym aqua wax. It retails about the same price and works well. You can really smell the carnuba wax in it.

Ive brought this product going to use it on my convertible hen i get time to wash it which hasn't been for the last god knows how many week so it'l need a good wash n wax see what the results will come out.

interestingly the autoexpress review is the only poor review i've seen of the meguires gold class.

a product i bought on hype alone, but was amazingly dissapointed by. smells nice, easy to apply, utter pain to buff off, looks ok, lasts about 5 mins. tried it on several different cars and it's never given a reult i've been happy with.

Just gave mines a second coat of ice
Crap picture but i think its shinier that the first time.
I left in for 15mins before buffing this time rather than the 5mins it says on the bottle.

for best best results with wax i would start with insulator wax 845 last up to a year and is detergant proof. then top off a couple of hours later with a finishing wax. my mate uses dodo juice purple haze. and im usiing chemical guys express carnuba wax.

i wouldnt touch auto glym or turtle wax as there just crap halfrauds jobies. meguirs gold class wax is ok but and absolute pain to get off and is not very durable.

but make sure before you wax you use a sealant. im currently using chemical guy m-seal and chemicals guys jetseal 109. ive heard some really good results also from poorboys exp

I used turtle wax ice today gave off quite a bit of a shine but i want to give it another coat jus to give it that extra bit as you do tend to miss a few spots.


chrisdovey1 read through yours sounds like you put alot off effort in to your detailing on your car have you got any pictures?

lol well it isnt a bmw but here goes

anyone know what my car is?

these are all good sealants

then for durability use this

then for top coat a couple of hours later use one of these. they are all colour charged, so they bring different finishes/ different effects to different colour paints

What a load of bollox. Never used the turtle wax product but I only ever use auto glym and for the money, it's god value. The auto Glym extra gloss protection lasts ages on my daily drives and the ultra deep shine definately makes a difference especially on dark colours.

yes it may make a differncve but not as much as the products i stated and it does last anywhere near as long

I used to use Autoglym SRP and then the gold finish stuff and was always impressed with the results but I found the white dust a pain in the bum....I now use Bilt Hamber autobalm and I'm very impressed.
