Just my opinion Ice is just a little better then a spray on detail. For a polish it has zero corrective propertys. And it dulls out all your rubber and plastic edges. Also after it rains it runs down the side of your car.(This is more noticable on darker colors. At very best it will only protect your paint for a month if that. When I first used it I thought it was great product but there isnt a product out that does everything. Again JMO.

I use Adams Polishes. I started using that stuff when I had the Mustangs and I really like it. You can only buy direct or through dealer, but I love that stuff. I just did my car yesterday - Clay, 3M swirl/scratch remover and their buttery wax. Will post pics later with my new member post.
You should clay the car with care once a year depending on the conditions of where the car is. Much chemicals in the air, the more you will need to clay. Machine polishing FTW, but very carefully, you don't want to cut too much or you might end up with thiningclear coat - specially with our single stage paint.
Here are some of my Stangs and the detail of using the products I mentioned.

No questions, the Termi is my Fav, but the blue and Yellow looked so good after that wax came off. My wife's RX300 is a 99 and look at how the paint stil looks.

I've been there...... twice in three years! I have a two year old now that has me going to places like the zoo for now...
Thanks on the cars - I like the Accord so much right now.
Detailing is as important as maintenance on a car. It actually helps sell the car better since it shows people that you "care" for the car. Kinda like a nice looking lady, you assume she's clean all around... Anyone up for surprises?...... LOL

Thanks!!! That was actually the quick Labor-Day weekend clean-up. I didn't even do the trim-shine or final inspection detailer. Mojo leaves a nice finish and I kinda just want to finish that can to get rid of it. I like it's results, but the sprayer only works right for the first 2 applications. I spray it on the rag now since it doesn't spread like it's supposed to.
The TRD is on my strut tower bar. I'm going to have to take a look at it when I get home. I never noticed the scratches on the left side of the TRD before ..... I think I might have left the packaging tape on there.
