Yeah, the main problem is people use too much. I'm used to paste waxes and all that, so when I got Ice, I just poured a bunch on the pad and went to town. I had to rewash the car to get the wax off.

I put it away for a while, but decided to give it another try and use wayyyyyyyyy less. I love it now. The detailer spray is the best I've used. I've never tried Zaino or anything though.

Huh? I guess I didnt use that much but I didnt go conservative either. I just came inside from using the detail spray - for like the 3rd time - and I cant believe how bad @ss this stuff is. Maybe its only good for light colored cars - I have SIM. But swirls/streaks??? I couldnt even make swirls or streaks if I tried. I live in Texas and just sprayed this stuff on at 100 deg. temps with no probs......

I give up

Waxing for 40 years? My god...

nards444 · 06-23-2009, 07:29 AM

buddy uses it and swears by it, im going to try it once i use some of my stuff in garge up. But it seems much more user friendly than Zaino. I did buy a bottle of NASCAR wax about 4 years ago, and that stuff is the best stuff i have ever had, ive never seen it again in the store.

Rogue Leader · 06-23-2009, 08:20 AM

I wanted to try this stuff but I've heard way too many differing opinions that I think I will stick with Eagle One Nanowax. I used it on my Black Vette and it always came out great.

I just got some of that Zaino Z6 Detail polish spray. I am going to give that a try and compare notes. I just want a product that I can keep that showroom finish without having to constantly washing it, lol.

I like the ICE wax. Works great, applies just liek regular wax. Lasts a long time

nards444 · 06-23-2009, 12:51 PM

i know all wax isnt created equal. Over the years some are easy to apply some arent etc. But all in all is there really a night and day difference between x and y product. I think some of this stuff is just a mone maker IE Zaino, although it looks good, but all that crap and time involved i just dont know. I have had great results from a cheap bottle of NU-Finish, and a bottle of NASCAR wax. I guess this stuff is probably like oil in that everybody swears by a certain kind

Thrillz · 06-23-2009, 09:40 PM

The best wax is the one u like and use. If it happens to be good old turtle wax that u can get for 5 bucks and u use all of it then kudos to you. Dont matter if its popular if u dont use it and it sits on a shelf collecting dust.

bls5782 · 06-25-2009, 11:19 PM

The Ice is nice because it doesn't leave behind any white stuff. It smells nice and goes on/off like any other wax.

And you don't have to spend $235 on stuff to wax your car with!

vdevine · 06-25-2009, 11:26 PM

Great when done, but extra work involved with Black to get the streaks.

bls5782 · 06-26-2009, 07:44 PM

did you try the water spritz when removing it?
