I used Black Ice about 11 days ago, in fact it was the reason I jumped into their entire line of products. I didn’t have the luxury of working in a garage, but I was in the shade. This stuff performed really well for me. I found it needed almost no buffing. It flashes and self levels quickly. The buff was slightly grabby, but easily buffed to perfection. I loved it! I just topped it with TLC2 and AMP a few days ago, and I really love how their product synergize! Couldn’t be happier!
100% correct advice here. Don't let small scratches and swirls drive you nuts! You'll never get them ALL. And, you can create a bigger problem on an outlying area of a scratch if you obsess on it too much. I know. The same logic applies to the interior. " Clean what you can and move on."
I love black ice! I just applied 3 coats to my parents suv and wow it looks so good! The hype is definitely real on black ice! In the past ive tried tlc2 didn't really like it because it wasn't slick at all and it didn't really enhance the gloss on my paint but wow black ice is the real deal and its the easiest and fastest paint sealant that i have ever used!!
Nice video. I like that you said you don’t have to do a full paint correction every time you apply a wax or sealant or ceramic coating. So many guys on you tube are caught up in that and it transfer to me. Last year I buffed my car out several times. I am not going to do that this year or probably even next year because I don’t want to wear my clearcoat out. You’re about the only one that said that and it’s true. Your paint does not have to look like A mirror. People forget that We are applying these products to every day drivers. And absolutely it would be different if it was a Joe(car) or a car you only brought out on the weekends in the summer and stored in the winter. And as far as time how many people have the time to strip, buff and prep. When I am going to put a coat of ceramic coating on or layer of ceramic coating on my car. Usually the old one is worn off . So I will rather just wash the car And then apply the new ceramic coating. Or I’ll wash the car and then go over it with the prep or a rubbing alcohol and then apply the new coat of ceramic coating and I have no trouble whatsoever. You’re cat is really cute.
Great video Phil! I wondered about this product. 12-18 months is a bold statement! I won a giveaway and recieved TLC v2.. haven't used that just yet. Great tips along this process. 👍👍 the water hydrophobics are fantastic with that ICE.!!
Awesome!! I may consider it when I run out of other products!! Lithium sent me their ceramic slam!!! It was a giveaway and I told them I’ll do a review and give it the good word if it passes my real world tests. Hopefully they’ll send me some stuff
I'm in Australia and have just made my first order of the "Cera Coat" for plastic and rubber. Can't wait to get it. I'm starting to like The Last Coat products. Nick and Chad are cool guys !
I never understood all the hate against products that may fill swirls or other defects a bit and help with hiding. I think the word Glaze is typically reserved for for products that do only that, but there are waxes that are known to fill as well. We can't polish every year or even every other year; have to polish, protect, and maintain. At a certain point, some swirls may start to build up once its been 3-4 years since a polish - something that fills is entirely appropriate at that point. I guess glazes get a bad wrap from hack-detailers who use it to mis-represent their work. When used appropriately though, they are a handy tool. Glazes and filling aside, can't wait to get my hands on this product. TLC made a serious splash with their v2 coating and I have found some good spray sealants but nothing I've fallen in love with yet (sorry Seal & shine). Side note: I wonder how the new Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Acrylic Black line (man, thats a mouthful) would have worked with their polish/sealant out now for this car.
I love The Last Coat. How would you recommend removing an old coating of it if you wanted to prepare it for a new one? You've got me wary about excess buffing now.
How does this product compare to some of the newer ceramic sprays (DIY Detail, Turtle Wax, etc. on the market today? I know this is 3 years old, so maybe older technology? Significantly higher price than newer products.
A little off topic, but since there's a shortage of hand sanitizer, do you think an IPA solution like Gyeon Prep or Carpro Eraser would be good to use? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Chemical guys is selling hand sanitizer. So is Adam's. Lot of distilleries and micro breweries as well an sometimes give them away for free. Look around Facebook. Everyone is stepping up to help.
@@razetw I actually just ordered some from Chemical Guys an hour ago. And I messaged CarPro, they said Eraser could actually be used as a hand sanitizer, too.
Good vid Phil , I ordered the black ice last week. You and the Mrs be safe, appreciate the vids, by the way I don’t see the pump sprayer you preferred, any link where to purchase those types ??!!
Hi. Here are a few videos to help you out ua-cam.com/video/qpEWh1kE6Fs/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/rBHhe26eChM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/nl2YDrzZeX0/v-deo.html
Hi Actually it was in April and it was preforming really well for months, then I had to use the trunk for other products and tests. But I was really happy with the results.
hello , in terms of looks , which one do you find better , the last coat black ice/ tlc2 vs cquartz lite/reload. Both are price roughly the same , both claimed similar durability , and both look great on video . It seems that the last coat looks a bit better but lighting can make a huge difference on looks.
Use this soap. amzn.to/3mVM7ml. You can also top it with this, amzn.to/3cDP4Db and AMP to use as a quick detailer after you wash and dry it amzn.to/3jeulZ3
Do you think this is comparable to more established ceramic coatings that come in those little bottles? I’m looking for a coating that’s good for a beginner like myself. Thanks in advance!
So does this mean for as long as the black ice is on the vehicle, we can only wash/apply a topper Or are we still Able to Claybar/polish in those months, or would that remove the product?
You should only need to wash and use AMP or even the last cost as maintenance. If you Clay or polish it may remove or at least diminish its hydrophobicity.
Oh yeah that would be great. Just do a quick IPA wipe down before the you apply the coating. Ultimate Polish doesn’t really have that much of fillers on it. When people say that some don’t really understand that ALL polishes, compounds, waxes, and sealants have “fillers” to certain degree that amp up the gloss and aid in making the finish look amazing. As long as you polish with a good pad and polisher with proper technique it will correct the paint and reduce/remove swirls and such.
It did really well for about 3 months. Then I had to strip and try other products. But it worked really well. If you tip it with TLCv2 and AMP as the maintenance it’s amazing.
@@MirandaDetailing will the dozens of test shaving off the clear coat appear on your carfax when you sell avalon? ;) Love the video, your camera quality and lighting and even mic is superb! Kudos to you and the misses!
As far as I know yes. Test it on a small spot and see. Bu generally these spray coatings can be used on any surface and even matte surfaces without making them shiny.
It may be good to Clay it, but if you don’t feel it picking anything up or the clay bar is clean and not picking up bonded gunk then it’s not necessary.
It’s. It a true ceramic coating. It’s a ceramic spray coating. It doesn’t last as long and it’s not as hydrophobic as a true coating. But it still offers great protection and water bearing.
Dumb question here but why would you use this over a ceramic coating? I have a predicament on my hands. I layered my car with McGuire‘s hybrid ceramic wax and are use their detailer to top off after washes. I want to move into a direction of better protection. Would this last longer? What would you recommend? FYI I don’t have a garage to work in. Thank you!
You certainly can...but make sure it doesn’t rain for 24h if you can. Here’s a tip...after an hour apply a layer of The Last Coat and then another hour a layer of AMP.
Yes yes. I know. I know. It’s not a big deal. If it works it works. I don’t split hairs or over think it. Bead maker is great also and would work right on top of it also.

Excellent!!
Very good video. Please can you do a video of how to clean the car front grill? Thanks
Coupon code worked
Thanks bro
This is perfect . I am getting both my cars polished 2morrow and than going to be getting the last coat to seal it up
Do you think after applying I would have to wait the 7 days like the day ?
It would be good to let it cure a week or even 2 weeks before washing it. If it gets wet it’s fine.
Are we going to get an update video soon?
Hi. This one was updated a few times in our weekend washes. But it’s an old video so we have already tried different products on our vehicle.
great video and product review Phil..does the pigmented product need the tint or is it a selling gimmick?b well stay safe
Thanks! I’m sure the pigment dies add to the depth and gloss and very minor filling capabilities.

Totally agree!! Did you watch this one yet? I love the new TWHSCA Black W/P and Spray Wax. Wow trying to shorten it made it seem worse!😆
I love The Last Coat.
How would you recommend removing an old coating of it if you wanted to prepare it for a new one? You've got me wary about excess buffing now.
I would use a polish like Megs M110 or M210 to compound an polish and it will remove any previous coatings. It will be fine.
How does this product compare to some of the newer ceramic sprays (DIY Detail, Turtle Wax, etc. on the market today? I know this is 3 years old, so maybe older technology? Significantly higher price than newer products.

This is the upgrade I believe...Do you like it better than seal n shine?...I'm still nursing a bottle..
I like both actually. Seal and shine is still amazing, especially the new formula. I think it comes down to personal choice.

Any update on this TLC Ice in the trunk??
Thank you! :-)
Hi Actually it was in April and it was preforming really well for months, then I had to use the trunk for other products and tests. But I was really happy with the results.
Hello. Love your videos! Could I ask how TLC black Ice is holding up?:) thanks!
It as holding up great. But I had to stripe the panel again to try some more products. I’ll use it again on a different vehicle soon
hello , in terms of looks , which one do you find better , the last coat black ice/ tlc2 vs cquartz lite/reload. Both are price roughly the same , both claimed similar durability , and both look great on video . It seems that the last coat looks a bit better but lighting can make a huge difference on looks.
Hi. I havent used the the Cquartz Lite yet, so Im not sure. But I really like this ICE from Tha Last Coat
If I apply this to my motorcycle how would I get the bugs of weekly?What would I use and would it break down the coating
Use this soap. amzn.to/3mVM7ml. You can also top it with this, amzn.to/3cDP4Db and AMP to use as a quick detailer after you wash and dry it amzn.to/3jeulZ3
I clayed and polished my car about 8 weeks. Do you think I need to do both again before applying Black Ice? I'm really hoping I don't need to.
Hi. You shouldn’t need to clay and polish and again. Maybe just check the paint and see if it needs any more light polishing and then apply.
Can, or should, you apply this over a ceramic coating thats already on a car?
Not really. Use The Last Coat or AMP or another Sio2 spray sealant as a maintenance topper for vehicles that already have a coating.
Towels reusable after this application?
Last Coat say: sponge applicator and microfibre towel should be discarded after all layers have been applied initially. :(
Mogsy28uk thanks
@@GDavis49 i's still like to wash both in hot soapy water right after use and see if they can be re-used, hate wasting good applicator/cloths.
Mogsy28uk Totally agree and the reason I asked.
Yeah wash them immediately and use them for other purposes. I also don’t like wasting towels.
Do you think this is comparable to more established ceramic coatings that come in those little bottles? I’m looking for a coating that’s good for a beginner like myself. Thanks in advance!
It’s not like the other traditional coatings but for beginners it’s totally worth trying out before you go full ceramic coating.
Kind of confused will I have to use all 3 products each time I wash it
Nope. If you already have black ice and/or The Last Coat you can just use AMP to maintain.
Where can I acquire the blue applicator pads from thanks
Here you go...amzn.to/2XbFdxM
So does this mean for as long as the black ice is on the vehicle, we can only wash/apply a topper Or are we still Able to Claybar/polish in those months, or would that remove the product?
You should only need to wash and use AMP or even the last cost as maintenance. If you Clay or polish it may remove or at least diminish its hydrophobicity.
Miranda Detailing got you boss! Great video btw! Black fire looks like a great product worth trying
How long are people getting out of black ice?
If topped and maintained with The Last Coat V2 and AMP it should last 8-12 months
Phil do you thing a quick polish with Meguiar’s Ultimate Polish.. be okay?? Says something about filler’s in it ...??
Oh yeah that would be great. Just do a quick IPA wipe down before the you apply the coating. Ultimate Polish doesn’t really have that much of fillers on it. When people say that some don’t really understand that ALL polishes, compounds, waxes, and sealants have “fillers” to certain degree that amp up the gloss and aid in making the finish look amazing. As long as you polish with a good pad and polisher with proper technique it will correct the paint and reduce/remove swirls and such.
Your an awesome person and I much appreciate your help ..
do you need the debunk polish machine? or can I use it by hand?
Hi. Sorry I don’t understand what you mean.
So this is just for black vehicles?
Hi. Nope. It’s just called Black Ice. It’s for any color vehicle. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing thxs.
How has this held up over the months?
It did really well for about 3 months. Then I had to strip and try other products. But it worked really well. If you tip it with TLCv2 and AMP as the maintenance it’s amazing.
How is the last coat black ice holding up so far after 3 months is it a keeper?
It was going strong at a month but I started tested other stuff on the hood. I’m going to apply it on something else to test it.
Sounds good keep us posted .@@MirandaDetailing
Can you use black ice on oem metal alloy rims
Oh yeah. The coating can be applied to paint plastic, metal and even glass. But probably not your windshield.
Have you ever fully corrected your Avalon?
Nope. Not the entire thing. I want to leave panels to test products on.
@@MirandaDetailing will the dozens of test shaving off the clear coat appear on your carfax when you sell avalon? ;)
Love the video, your camera quality and lighting and even mic is superb! Kudos to you and the misses!
My car had contaminants after using the black ice I got it removed off by a compound buffer do I have to start over ?
Hi. Yeah the paint should be at least clay barred and lightly polished before applying the Black Ice.
Miranda Detailing I have to do it over ?
Yup busing a compound would have removed it.
Miranda Detailing ok
Can you use it on the windows?
You can but it might smear a little more on the glass, so it takes a some time to wipe off completely. But it will work.
This one or CarPro Cqaurtz Lite ?
Either one....you can choose which ever one you like to use. I think it’s just personal choice.
Can it be used on matte color thx
As far as I know yes. Test it on a small spot and see. Bu generally these spray coatings can be used on any surface and even matte surfaces without making them shiny.
@@MirandaDetailing thx a lot 👍
Do I have to clay my car if it’s new paint from June of the year?
Clay bar treatment is always recommended to remove unseen bonded contaminants
It may be good to Clay it, but if you don’t feel it picking anything up or the clay bar is clean and not picking up bonded gunk then it’s not necessary.
Is it like can coat
I haven’t tried can coat yet. But from what I have seen in other vids it’s probably like that. Minus the aerosol.
Does anyone know is it solvent
Not sure on that one. But I don’t think it is. None of the other last cost products seem to be solvent based.
Easy on. 👍👍👍👏👏👏🥰
Is this a ceramic coat
It’s. It a true ceramic coating. It’s a ceramic spray coating. It doesn’t last as long and it’s not as hydrophobic as a true coating. But it still offers great protection and water bearing.

I have no garage can I still use the black ice?
You certainly can...but make sure it doesn’t rain for 24h if you can. Here’s a tip...after an hour apply a layer of The Last Coat and then another hour a layer of AMP.
Miranda Detailing whaaat u mean? Amp and the laaast coat I don’t wait a week?
Nope you can apply each layer after an hour. I have talked with some fellow Detailers about it and it’s an awesome combo.
How long to wait between layers for black ice
Just put one layer of black ice, wait an hour and apply a layer of The Last Coat, then another hour and apply AMP.
This is not ceramic coating it’s ceramic infused spray why confuse people that makes my angelwax certifications mean nothing 🤦🏻♂️
Yes yes. I know. I know. It’s not a big deal. If it works it works. I don’t split hairs or over think it. Bead maker is great also and would work right on top of it also.
