A great use for "Ice".....
I bought some of this stuff way back, for my car. Turned out to be a pain in the but to get enough of it wiped back off that it didn't look blotchy + it had no durability, and in a nutshell, just wasn't worth the hassle IMPO. So it just sat in the garage.
Now, remember I had asked a while back about "waxing powder coat" ??? {and BTW, both my bumpers, and my wheels are powder coated}
Well, I got this little idea... Grabbed the "Ice" and a micro-fiber towel, and hit just one wheel, and one small side part of the rear bumper (just for a test) and it looked great ! But I waited a week to see how it would hold up.... and also how it would wash off. No problems at all. So last week, I did all of my wheels, and it made them look "better than new" ! It seems like it helps to wipe off some of the brake dust, but even if not, they look "blacker than black" with no dusty look.
Today I did all the wheels, and the bumpers, both the powder coat, and the plastic, plus my side mirrors, handles, etc !
And damn ! This stuff is the shiz ! :-) Kind of funny that it sucks on paint (which I think is what its mostly marketed for) but it is awesome on powder coat, and plastic trim !
Just thought I'd pass this on....
Peace,
Fish

Hey 06', neither... I used the clear liquid, in the squeeze bottle. Super easy to apply, and I didn't have to worry about getting so much back off of the powder coat, as you would if you actually used it on your paint (which again, I don't recommend).
Hey 05', that's good to know, as I will only use it on the wheels and bumpers (places where it won't run down onto anything) and not on the door handles or trim > in the Winter. Oh, here in Nor Cal, it only rains between October, and pretty much April ;-)

Fine.
You know what ? I had asked some time back, for suggestions on this forum, about what I could use on Satin Black powder coat, and didn't get $#!+ for suggestions.
So now I find something on my own, that works good, try to pass it on, and all I get is $#!+.
If you have not used the liquid Ice on Satin Black powder coat, you have know idea WTF you are talking about.
Have a great day,
Fish
Thank you jetech.

i got some of that stuff a while back too. found quickly that it wasnt good for anything, but i accidently spilt some on my black wheels and it turns out that it makes them look really good. i usually put a coat of it on after i wash, it keeps the wheels looking new again. without it the black on mine looks pretty dull. my wheels are powder coated too. other than that though, ICE is crap
