Turtle Wax Ice (Pics)
 

This stuff is pretty good. I wouldn't classify it as a wax, more of a polish...

It also is awesome because it leaves no white residue behind, and if you use it on black plastic, it acts like some of that tire wet and makes it nice and shiny.

First: MASSIVE drool factor on that FZ1 :drool:
Second: DAYUM! I don't think I've ever seen a polish that works on the painted bits AND the black plastic bits. I think I'll have to go out looking for this stuff tomorrow. Where'd you find this stuff?!
Third: Did I mention that's a kickass FZ1? :drool:

Wow, looks nice.

Yes, for the black stuff, it's pretty impressive.

nice

Wow... nice.

you're still a homo

^^^Still a dick. lol

Nice shine up. I think I may have washed my 600rr three times in 3 years. I've had my ZX6r for 3months now and not a hint of a wash. LOL

"I PATROL THIS BACK PART OF THE PARKWAY AND MY FRIENDS ARE COPS, IM GOING TO CALL THEM IF YOU DON'T LEAVE"

You can't call me a homo, you flyfish.

How's fly fishing homo? Making your bike pretty is homo.

I used that on the GSXR, it did a very nice job.

I'm gonna buy some of this stuff.

cool you can wax my bike too when I head out there :lol:

F U, Tom. You can wax your own bike. You lazy bastard.

:lol: I iwll find someone to wax my bike for me

I got plenty of wax you can use, but I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna wax your bike.

I will use jdei mind tricks and get you to wax my bike :rockwoot:

Does jedi mind trick actually mean threaten him with physical violence? I am pretty sure that would work.

I'm armed...and dangerous.

Only as a last resort :lol:

Damn Kyle, that is a sick ride. I'll have to try some of that stuff

so is tommy, he's our chuck norris. Gargles peanut butter and all.

Thats funny...the guys at work call me Chuck.

Yeah, I hate taking care of my things!

It will last you forever, it only takes a little to go a long long way.

Thanks man.

This weekend I think I'm going to try to black out the silver parts:

Radiator Guards, Passenger Foot Pegs, and Rear Sets

Nice job. :dthumb:
I wish I had the patience to detail my bike out like that, even if only once or twice a year.

Washing it is taking care of it, making sure it's shiny everywhere is GHEY!

I'm in the process of doing that to the SV. What black are you using?

hey kyle

It took about 30 minutes dude. That ice stuff goes on everything. Pretty awesome.

Those were the days

Perhaps, but I'd have to get the road grime out of all the nooks & crannies first.
You can't polish dirt.
:whistle:

Well of course I washed it first, silly pants.

Not sure yet, probably going to get some kind of engine enamel for durability.

Damn, I've been lusting after a red '08 FZ1 since they came out! If you get tired of it, let me know!! :lol:

I'm hoping I can sell my bike this spring and find a good used one.

BTW, the shine is real purtty ;)

What he said! I think I'll be buying some of this stuff very soon.

Old pics but I use Dupont Teflon wax. Slick as snot.

I did use a bottle of Rain-x spray on wax sunday and its decent. I'm not a big fan of spray on waxes.

Hey Ranger, what is the story with the pipe going in to your muffler? It doesn't look factory.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear that it's Auto Zone type exhaust pipe replacement crap.

Correct. I have a high mount now.

I thought that may be it. It came out good and I'm sure it was a lot less than getting an aftermarket system.

The previous owner of my bike put pretty much the same Micron high mount on. I haven't had any desire to change it. It sounds good without being stupid loud like some of the GP style dumps people put on now. It looks good on the VFR.

Actually it looks real good on the vfr with the SSS

I love the lumpy idle sound and the loud ass GP sound when getting on here. :rockwoot: Dam she's loud when she's got no muff.

Dude, this stuff is freakin' GOLD.

I picked some up and did a few spots tonight just to see how it would look on the plastic parts and holy CRAP.

(crappy iPhone pics in low light, sorry)

I can't wait to try this stuff on the whole bike.

:rockwoot:

Told yew.

I'm sold. I need to buy some asap.

To do list... Part store at lunch

Or walmart

Just got mine and some epoxy paint for the blackout project

How many coats of this Ice did you put on? I did a quicky 1 coat deal on my Jeep. I was not blown away by the results.

Yea me too... my gf bought it for her bike because of all the black pieces and we weren't exactly amazed either... Of course, I normally use Maguires Tech wax which isn't exactly cheap.

I've been meaning to pick some of that up too.

That stuff works great imho. It doesn't seem to last very long (I have the original older stuff and not the 2.0) but it sure puts a hell of a shine on the Vette. I haven't tried it on the bikes but may have too.

first coat on an older bike seems to fade fast but 2nd and 3rd coats appear to stick (so far)

I'll try more coats.

Try riding the bike more :lol:

It was on my Jeep, you dick.

Well instead of waxing your jeep you should be out riding then :scared: :lol:

I'm too busy to be bothered with riding a motorcycle.

clearly

by busy, you really mean lazy, i know i am a govt worker too

Correct.

It works good for the bikes but can be a pain to apply compared to other waxes. imho
