Turtle wax ICE..Love it!

That's cool man, sounds like a good product... you have a couple misconceptions about zaino though still.
1. It most definitely DOES go on (and wipe off) more like a liquid than a traditional paste wax.
2. If the car is already clean, 1 coat CAN be done in 20 minutes or so.
3. You can put it on trim pieces, wheels, bare metal... pretty much anything you want to shine up, and it doesn't leave any white residue like traditional paste wax.
Not trying to say one is better than the other because I haven't tried the ICE stuff yet, but didn't want anyone to be confused about zaino after reading this thread.

Mmmm indeed! (first) I don't know what it is but black is just the ultimate car color. When done well it's absolutely stunning. And the best part about it is it's black but you can see every minute detail. Love. It.

I'll second this. With Zaino, you only have to wash, clay, then wash, then wax etc the first time you apply Zaino or any real wax for that matter. Claying should be done for any car using any wax in the spring, and maybe once in again later in the year. Claying is not fun.
Zaino itself is very easy to use, and is quite possible to do a coat in 30 mins using the zfx accelerator. I always do 3 coats in one day though. And yes, you can put zaino on anything...paint, rubber, wheels, headlights, brake lights, the Mazda symbol's...everything. And it doesn't ever leave a white residue like traditional waxes. And, if you miss wiping off a spot for a few days....no biggie, just wipe it off like dust when you do find it.
ICE's process sounds very close to how Zaino is applied. Their marketing also very close, that is all I was saying.

That does seem like a more logical formulation for a product that's supposed to give maximum shine. It's like wax + buffing = gloss. But clear liquid + light buffing = gloss. I'm sure the levels of protection are different, but still, I've been wanting to try Zaino for forever and if this is even 75% as good as that then for $16 - I canna hack it. :\
I just waxed my tiburon today with turtle wax ice and i'm blown away by the results. You guys need to try this for yourself before you make fun of turtle wax. I have used many different waxes and polishes (meguiars NXT, Gold Class 3 step, zymol...etc) and nothing give my car the sparkle Turtle wax ice does. I'm sold. The application process is very easy. Once I washed and dried my car it only took me about 45 min to do the whole car. As soon as I drove the car out to a pizza house I got 4 compliments in 15 min about how clean it was. It's really some good stuff.

I put it on my Z28 over a month ago and only had to use a california duster to get pollen off the car. Some people say durability sucks, but has lasted great on my Z28 and Mazda 3 even in rain. My mother who never washes her car has a Pontiac Sunfire and I did her car, now she wants to buy some. My black mica 3 looked like crap every 3 or so days and would have to be washed 2 times at least a week, now I am going 2 weeks between washes. To me, I could care less what anyone thinks about it, while I spend 30 minutes 1 time a month to do the ICE, I am just happy I can make my cars look great in a short amount of time. It takes me just as long to put spray detailer on and take it off as the full ICE treatment. My wheels, plastic, everything looks like new..
Here is my Z28 with it on... only 1 coat.

allright so it has been one day since i used the polish, and my only dissapointment is all the dust that has been collecting where i applied the polish.. i wipe it off with my microfiber mitt, but is there a way to make it so i don't have to do it so often? any suggestions/ideas would be helpful.

Yeah I got some dust on mine and some crap from trees. And my moms truck also had stuff on it. Maybe the wax is a magnet.
