Physics Materials: Ice, Wood, Metal, Rubber

I cannot seem to get the Ice, Wood, Metal or Rubber physics materials to work. Only bouncy seems to do something. I'd really like the Ice to work. Can anyone clarify? Would having a non-pro Unity be causing this? Thank you, I appreciate it.

I just made a tutorial video on using this. the thing to note about using the ice material is that it works best on a slanted floor. Meaning if you have a plane, and a capsule with the ice material added to it, make sure the plane is tilted. Then adjust the friction levels for the ice parameters (click on the ice material and adjust in inspector panel). If the plane is completely level the capsule may not look like it’s working. if you bring the dynamic/static friction down to zero you’ll see the effects much better. Hope this helps.

Because this comes up in searches for example Physics Materials, here are the original Bouncy, Ice, MaxFriction, Metal, Rubber, Wood, and ZeroFriction from Unity:
