Eagle One Nanowax is a great product! I have used it as well, I got it a couple years ago when it came out, only problem I had was the darn wax would poor out of bellow the dispenser, and then the pump eventually fell off. Other then that, its great stuff, easy application, coming off is a little more difficult, make sure to shake your cloths when taking off, as it dusts easily

I just recenlty bought turtle wax ice.I used it the other day and i think it works great.It did cover up lots of scratches and shines pretty good when used on plastic parts.

Okay, I'm not into detailing really but I'm intrested in learning.

I've been reading a lot off of Autopia and I guess when you wax. you take an applicator pad and take the wax and put it on the pad and rub in a circular motion.

Though how would you apply the ice if it's a liquid?

it's liquid
comes in a spray bottle.
spray it onto a body panel, use a (microfiber) towel to evenly spread it, let it sit for a while (while you're applying it to the next panel), use another (microfiber) towel to "polish" it.

at least that's how i did it.

Why is it that sometimes people prefer Microfiber towels than Chamios? Could you still use the Chamio for the same purposes as the Microfiber towels?

Correct me if I'm wrong but a chamois is used for drying and a microfiber towel is used for buffing.

i use the chamois for drying.
i use the microfiber both for drying and buffing/applying wax/polish

don't think that you'd get very far trying to buff with a chamois

Bexause dirt can get trapped on chamios and scratch the paint. The microfiber is also softer and can a hold some dirt without scratching.

hahaha.. ok.. you guys are saying the same thing as if you were to say "cotton is only used to make blue shirts". Microfiber is mearly that.. a fiber. You can make any type of cloth out of it. You can buy microfiber buffing, drying, polishing.. even cloths for glass.
