Went to Murray's and bought it today...did a quick job on my car (took 20 minutes to wax the whole thing) and it looks just as good as a regular wax does. Definitely impressed!

i thought this was like a fast detailer. like id wash my car, dry it, then wax it then spray that on and wipe off. like you would do with quick detailer when you show up at a show. am i rong.

I am gonna have to try it out. I just tried out that Dupont was with Teflon in it. Today is the first day out of the garage with it (I hate all this rain) so I will see how it holds up.

Very good stuff! Two coats in the direct hot sun -- no problem, comes out looking great!

Around 16$ for the bottle, and it's amazing how little you have to use per coat.

I just bought some today, and I will have to say that Zaino is a much better product. On my wife's black car the polish took forever to come off, as it would leave small circles of residue on the car that took some serious buffing. Zaino goes on just as fast and comes off with a lot less effort. If you haven't tried Zaino, do yourself a favor and pick some up online. I will be using the polish for the interior of the car as that works well and for the plastic trim.

I've never tried Zaino, but everyone that's used it seems to love it. I think I'll order some for next weekend .. I have a weakness for this stuff

zaino is great stuff. made the car look like glass. it was kinda hard though to do my white evo, you couldn' really tell where you waxed it and where you didn't. the results is amazing though. it made my car glow at night time.

The Turtle Wax Ice has issues. Most notably is durability. It loses all protection in 5 days. Yeah, it is easy to apply and it looks ok. But how often do you wax your car?

There are lots of products out there that can give you a incredible shine and last a lot longer. But they aren't normal off the shelf products.

I say for most of the over the counter cleaner wax stuff, NXT is good. I definitely would not use Ice. If you're interested in a better shine, it will require more prep work and different products you can't purchase at your local auto store.
