Thanks i have had it about 5 months, so i think ive done alot since then but ill try to get more going. like the sway bar i got looks so nasty, i just got cambering kits on it so alot better traction. thats why i said almost looks just like urs.

What didnt you like about the Ice forty? I just used it a week or two ago and loved it. if nothing else, just for the fact that is doesnt mess up the black trim. maybe when i get my car repainted (including most of the trim) Ill go back to a nice thick carnuba, but for my 12 year old paint, the Ice worked great. and the whole process took half as long as with the old paste wax i used to use, so ill be more likely to keep up on the waxing.

Here you go Sacs

Cliff notes, it added to depth to the look of the paint, didn't mask swirl marks or small scratches, etc.. It just didnt get the job done, at all. Here are comparison pics.

Ice..


Royal Blue..




In person it is SO much more noticable.. But, if you look at the ice pic, things look blurry and in darker areas, theres no detail. In the royal blue pic, even though I'm farther away, you can still distictly see me.

I don't know, I'm pretty anal about my paint's appearance

^^ I can see where Royal Blue gave you more pop, depth, and clarity over ICE. And that's saying a lot because photos take away a lot of details. Zaino has a similar effect on lighter colored cars. But that Royal Blue looks amazing, I might have to add it to my detailing arsenal.

Definitely, at least give it a shot and see how it compares to your current products.
