Check out my shiney clean H3...
Bought a new product from Turtle Wax called "ice". It was recommended on another board and I thought I'd give it a go. It is a synthetic polish, not a wax and says it doesn't leave any residue on rubber or plastic (reason enough to try it on any Hummer). Anyway, I am extremely pleased with the out come. I used Mothers "Back to Black" on the plastic trim and tried the Ice on the plastic hood piece. They look the same. I also bought a bottle of the Ice quick shine for use in between applications of the polish. I also Rain-X'ed the glass to keep the dead bugs from sticking so bad. I'm not one for bugshields, but I already have 2 rock chips and the bugs tend to aim for the flat front glass! I'd also like to see a rear deflector to keep the dust off the rear glass. Anyway, thought I'd share with the class...
Here is the products I used...
This engine bay has almost 12,000 miles on it and has been off-road a couple of times...
I took a gray paint marker from my son and highlighted all of the symbols under the hood...
Check out the reflection! You can see our trampoline, horse trailer, and an old Grand Wagoneer in it. Also, the plastic mirror mount...
Not a bad product, I'll report back after a month! Notice the painted skid ala this forum...

Thanks! I thought about doing it while I was detailing the engine bay and thought it would look cool. Turned out really nice and was easy to do.
Next on the list is a leveling kit, 35's and I am working on a roof rack...

Sweet. Nice results. I especially like the gray highlighting in the engine compartment.

Re: Check out my shiney clean H3...
Good works, it looks GREAT! What did you use to clean the engine? Which parts did you cover before cleaning or washing the engine? I want to clean mine but I want to make sure I don't do any water damage to the electronic parts...

I was the engine bay just like the rest of the vehicle with the various sponges and brushes I have. I don't cover anything, just hose it all off. I used the "Black-to-Black" on all the rubber & plastics and the same polish under the hood as on the rest of the painted areas. Once you polish it and shine all of the plastics, it is easy to maintain.

Re: Check out my shiney clean H3...
I use ICE as well. It is the best polish I have ever used  ... and I have used a lot over the years, trust me. It does wonders for older paint as well and it does not stain your window gaskets, trim, etc.
However, has anybody had experience with it in the winter or under Almpine conditions yet, as far as corrosion protection, durability?
I'll have to post pix of my ride one of these days... |
