ICE is another polymer based product. It's nice for just a temporary shine and protection.
Here's a larger version of my car in the sig.

Wow you guyz did an excellent job. It does get tiring doing all those steps. I just followed what the MG website suggested and it works for me!!
There is a video there on how to clay bar as well. Go to the first page of this thread and all the links are there.
Doze I know my Vid rocks... I love how you can hear the difference. Alt your car rocks! Now you need the zoomzoom sticker and we will be twins...
From the outside of course.

So I'm going back to school tomorrow to see some friends I haven't seen in a year. Naturally, I washed and waxed today after work (MEG Gold Class and NXT 2.0 Paste). Should I throw on some Meguiars UQD tomorrow before I go or will I not even be able to tell the difference?

When I wash up my 8 I almost always apply a polish to it, usually the NXT. I'm old school though (and dont want to spend money on an electric polisher) so I apply and polish by hand. Anyone ever do the MG's 3 stage? Ugh that is one serious workout... Wish i had enough time after work today to do it before a car meet, but I'll only have enough time for a wash polish and trim/tire shine.

I just did Nxt Tech 2 prior to my Winter "storage" and then did some Griot's detailing spray just before I put on the cover. It's never looked better.
I've not used the highly touted Zaino, but Meguair's Nxt Tech has been veddy, veddy gooood to me!

I agree with Huey; Megiuar's has been excellent for me. I don't have an orbital buffer to get rid of the really light marks on the car, but polishing and waxing by hand using Megiuar's products leave the car extremely smooth and shiny. White isn't a very reflective color, but after a 2 hour session of polishing and waxing, I could see myself in the door panels straight on.
