you had white drips from the ice? or paste?
ive never had ice leave white drips b4
No white at all just an excess of wax that showed up as a streak. You could tell because that part of the car had alot less water from the rain and it was a tad bit darker. So too much wax in a spot that was noticeable. Dripped down from the cracks around the mirror and handles I am assuming. Came right off tho.

I waxed my car a couple weeks ago,
my steps were:
Wash
clay
wash
Scratch X
Wash
Wax (paste wax) i believe it was meguiars
anyway i really didn't like how the paste wax came out because of all the white stuff in the cracks (ughh)
so the question is:
Clay+Scratch X+ Ice wax=??
thought i might ask,
has anyone tried this yet?
by the way Scratch X is the Shizzznit .

When I got back into the detailing thing about a year ago, I started with ICE. I found out after a little internet research that the whole sealant market has changed considerably. TW ICE gave me a great looking finish that only lasted about two weeks. There are better sealants out there. For Over-The-Counter products, I have had great success with Duragloss sealants and the newest Megs NXT gets rave reviews. My personal favorite is Ultima Paint Guard Plus from Autopia Car Care. It is a wipe-on-walk-away (WOWA) which means if applied properly, there is nothing to wipe off. It cures overnight, can be layered, and leaves a great long-lasting shine. There are other highly regarded WOWA products available that I've never tried so look around, shop around and have fun. UPGP is a little expensive but the bottle lasts an incredibly long time so I consider it very cost effective. I'll post some pictures next time I clean the Fit.

ive also used
" Buffalo Milke"
made it bigger so u can see the spelling- its like milk not mike
as far as i know its only online-
it works really well too- but its white, almost as if you took ice and made it white- same stuff really.(maybe not)
the website wasn't loading for me so maybe its long gone
it was pretty expensive too- but came with a bunch of cloth diapers and junk
so the only bad thing was the white color would streak down if you got some in a crack- but it was a wee-bit better than ice in the end
