I hated it on my Vette, liked it okay on my wife's Acura. My Vette is black, and it just didn't produce the same depth as I got with Zaino. Yeah, I said the "Z word"...

Oh, and the ICE liquid clay stuff was a joke. I threw it out after about 5 minutes. It did NOTHING.

I felt the same about my black C6, but I went back to Meguiar's. I have a bottle of ICE for sale!

Turtle Wax owns Zaino! It's very true. To me Zaino is over price, I have use turtle wax on my Vette, its looks great...Its the same company.

ICE was fabulous on my Silver C5

It does nothing for my black C6 - I stick with Maguiars

i used it on my black c5 z06. i thought it was pretty good - easy to apply, take off, etc. not sure how long it would last, and really didn't care, since i was waxin' all the time. here's a shot of my black z06 in between a couple z'd z's... to be honest, i got a many compliments on my "shine" as did everyone else.



i'm not saying ICE is better than any other product, but for the cost, ease of application, etc, it ain't bad.

I use it for quick touch ups because it goes on and comes off easy. Still prefer other products for my full wax jobs. I have also used it on my glass and it seems to get rid of a lot of haze that other products leave.

I have used the ICE liquid clay. I say it works OK for light stuff. Any real over spray or "grit" on the car, it doesn't seem to take it off as easy as normal clay.

The BEST part is that you can use it in the sun! AND it works on the black plastic parts! No residue. Good product for those of us that are lazy!

OMG - you actually don't use Zaino on your black car? You actually admit in public that you use a product you can buy off the shelf? Do you realize what this says about you and what that means? The Zaino patrol will probably come take your car.

You should be ashamed and deserve all the abuse you've set yourself up for. I'd leave town, if not the country....

I use liquid ICE polish religiously everytime I wash my car. Goes on in about 10 minutes and leaves a SUPER slick surface and deep shine for silver (I apply it over NXT 2.0)

The ICE liquid claybar is OK for removing very very light contaminants and great at clearing off old wax for a new application. It is not a replacement for a true claybar though. (I own the liquid claybar but only rarely use it now that I have a real claybar...claymagic)
