I found the new Turtle Wax Ice at Target in a Car Care kit after Christmas marked down to like $9, and used it on my truck, was astounded with the results so put it on my bike as well. The stuff is amazing, goes on real easy and when dries is not a white residue. I put it on all of the painted surfaces and all of the chrome that does not get hot. Feels smooth as glass when you get it polished up and looks like a million bucks. The kit that I got has car wash,wax,spray detailer,interior cleaner and microfiber clothes with it. You can also put it on plastic parts(like the mirrors on my truck) and doesn't leave a residue.
Just My 2 Cents
I have used it with success as well.. I have also used it on my Mustang seat and backrest pad, windshield, you can use it on just about everything..
I still love my Amsoil Miracle Wash the best (Spray wash and wax in one), but still use the ice when I actually wash my bike, sometimes.. Good Product - easy - no residue - need to use the microcloth. I have not used any other part but the wax.
You wax your seat and here to tell about it.
The secret is in the seat belt he wears. :lol:

Remember Terry... You asked...
I have had more than one scary experience on my motorcycle, such as rounding a corner a little to fast, or encounters with cagers.. These experiences have now provided me with a valuable tool I use after waxing my seat.
There is now a perminant ridge that runs down the middle of the main seat on my bike. SO, after I wax the seat, I just have to apply a little extra Butt Clench pressure on this ridge on the 1st few stop's and go's...
Hey thanks for the tip on the wax, I've been meaning to try to find a new quick polish or wax that I could wipe the bike down with before a ride. I have been dreading the searching process because of the ton of products available these days.
I say the next wrench session everyone bring a product and we can all try them at once that way you dont have to spend all your gas, tire and accessory money on wax!
That's strange I bought some Ice and didn't think it held up very well.
Certainly goes on easy, maybe too easy but wouldn't leave a hard finish.
I then found Carnu-B a high quality Carnuba wax that REALLY works well.
It take out minor blemishes with ease where the Ice would just coat it.

Hadn't thought about it not holding up very well, I wash and wax the bike at least once a month so hadnt paid any attention to that. Good point. 8-)
I don't really need it to hold up I just need it to go on pretty quick, I like to shine it up a little before we make a ride. If it gets really dull I paint it :D :D..
I like the way it shines up quick and easy, makes the chrome look good IMO.
http://www.rejex.com/ This stuff takes a little longer to get on but works great and last a long time AWESOME stuff... Great on helmets too bugs do not stick!!!!
So I looked at Target today when I was there for the wife, and found about three products under the "Ice" umbrella from Turtle:
1) A car wash liquid
2) A spray on "wax" liquid
3) A can of paste "wax" in a kit with a microfiber cloth.
Just so we all are talking about the same product, which one have you used, and with what results?

None of these.. ICE is a clear liquid that comes in a clear bottle with a blue top and usually comes with a blue sponge applicator and a blue micro-cloth.

Just as I thought -- we are not all talking about the same product. Items 1 and two in my local Target store come in clear bottles with blue tops -- but no sponge applicator or microfiber cloth.
Item 3 has the cloth with it.
All are called ICE on their labels. All are made by Turtle Wax.

I haven't used the car wash yet but I do have it, the spray on I have used with good results goes on clear,and then you wipe it off. So far all of the Ice products that I have used have been pretty good. Here is a link to the products that I am talking about,the only one I have not used is the clay bar and the interior stuff, but am going to use the interior stuff on my truck.

The 1st item on the webpage listed above is the product I use...
(http://i44.tinypic.com/vcsxvd.jpg)
Can be applied to all exterior rubber, plastic and vinyl trim to restore color and shine without leaving white residue.
Unlike conventional waxes, ICE™ can be applied in direct sunlight or on a hot surface without streaking or wax build-up.
A single application will provide extraordinary shine however; multiple layers will further increase depth of gloss and shine.
Formulated with light stabilizers to protect your car's finish from the suns damaging UV rays.
Complete kit includes a custom applicator and microfiber towel.
Many people swear by Zaino. It's too much work for me though. Meguire's Gold Class has been doing a good job for over a decade. Besides we've got at least 4 bottles here. The Zaino you have a multi step process which requires a lot of time and energy.
Smirnoff make an ICE produce that will improve the looks of anything is used liberally enough.

I have used this product in the past, only problem is that the effects wear off quickly and sometimes are shocking:lol: :lol:

Please send a sample for testing, 6 bottles should be enough but you may send more. Thanks
On the Ice wax Hoots got the right bottle. It comes out like a light mineral oil.
Slather on and wipe off the extra, kinda easy.
I still like the Carnu-B better.
