what do you use to polish your car. i mean do you use a buffer or just a towel or what.

My son owns a paintless dent repair business but has over 20 years in auto body repair. He turned me on to the paste, ICE. The paste comes with its own sponge applicator. He then sent me to Sam's Club to buy a bag of the microfiber cloth rags in the automotive section. 25 in a bag for $11. Use them to take the polish off. They do great! Beats the old cheesecloth method. When he does his vehicles, he uses a industrial size buffer and I must say the buffer makes his car/truck look like they came off the showroom floor. I don't have enough confidence to use a buffer for fear of burning through the clearcoat. He's the expert. I'm just a retired cop.

Yep, there is a paste available now as well.

From what I've been reading, it's recommended to use the TW ICE paste to put down a good base coat of wax, and then use the TW ICE liquid to brighten it up between TW ICE paste applications.

Reviews I've read seem to indicate that when using TW ICE liquid alone, it does not last long (i.e. protect).

How is it up in Rock Hill??? Yep I really do know where it is. My brother worked for the local paper there, but that was a few years ago.
Any hoo welcome and enjoy your HHR!

I had no idea 'til now that the paste was available.
I love the liquid,
but I will say that i think it does wear off too quickly,
as I have especially noticed on our '02 Hyundai...
I haven't noticed too much on my HHR,
but then it is only 7 months old.
I will go out and get this new paste very soon!!!
