I have not personally used it(I'm lucky if I wash my stuff ) but there was a thread way on this & several posters swore by "ice". It stuck in my head because they were so adamant about it.

Ice,.....is good for a daily driver that you want to look good,....for showcar use, there's better
It also does not protect the paint as well as a thick coat of Carnuba wax.

Basically all the same,technically they all suck. So,you will pretty much get the same results with all. Some will be better at some things than others as far as putting on and off,easier/harder,and some may last longer. Is it a fresh paint job(atleast 6 months old),or is it an older maintained finish? There are systems out there that do so well you dont need the old fashioned wax.No swirls,nothing.But thats another story. But as far as the one you mentioned,it may be just more money,doing the same thing as something else made by them. As far as regular wax,they all come off the finish once the surface temp. becomes 180degrees,either by evaporating or flying off going down the road.

I've heard of lots of folks who like the Ice. Personally I used to be a Zainos product endorser until I tried Adam's. It takes the Zaino quick detailer off when it wouldn't come off. Their micro fiber towels are the schiznit. I used to think he/Adam's was just a local boy trying to get in on a piece of the action until I tried his products. But you know what they say about opinions.

I will second the Adams recommendation. The anal to the max friend of mine uses Adams on his black and red vehicles.. amazing shine..

Should have tried it twice. After the first application, things weren't looking so good. After the second, things look great. I like it for Egypt because it's quick. There's so much dust in the air that, by the time you could wax your hood, the rest of the vehicle needs to be cleaned off again before you can wax it. Plus, with the Liberty, I can use it on the plastic flares too.

I used it on an old car (1985) with dull paint trying to get some gloss up and wow was it BAD. Left the paint with a white film that would not come off. The white film came up after being rained on a few times.. It looked OK when I first put it on.. I would avoid it completely..
