Default New Ice wax pics 56k should be safe

Hi! I haven't posted here in a bit since I got my 04Z but I took the time to fully detail my 90 and used that new wax ICE. Let me say that the results are incedible, almost Zaino like. Here's some pics of the hood, sorry I don't have more but y battery was dying.

Everything. I washed and shammy dried it, then I used mirror glaze fine cut remover and a buffer to get rid of water spots and small scratches and then I clay barred it with gold clay bar and showtime detailer for lubricant. Then I waxed it. Thanks for the compliment!

Edit - It was my first time detailing so extensively so I'm sure a pro could get it gleaming beyond belief.

The only bummer about waxing is finding all the nicks other than that I call it quality time with my Lady

Never heard of it. Care to elaborate, I'm not that knowledgable of waxes. I bought it at menards, a store exactly like home depot. It has a full money back garuantee. Thanks for all the positive comments guys. The fine cut mirror glaze got rid of almost every single scratch. The medium might have gotten out the bigger ones but I don't have any to test.

The liquid glass is way to abrasive in my opinion, it'll eat into cheaper paint jobs.

I've had nothing but great results with it, it has one of the smoothest finished I have ever felt...but I've never applied it to an older paint job.

This may sound stupid and I just read the bottle, it does say synthetic liquid polish, so what is the difference between a polish and wax/what difference will it have on a car? I know I could google it but I like hearing the opinions of fellow forum members. Thanks guys.

Your hood looks great!!

IMHO a polish has abrasives to "polish out the imperfections" while a wax is a finish protectant. Many polishes and some wax both.

If you read the FAQ's at Liquid Glass, they claim that it is non-abrasive. That aside, I use liquid glass but I have an excellent respray. Eventually it is going to be switched to using Pinnacle Souveran Paste.



I need to upload some newer pictures.
