Hard to really see in the photos at least for me.

Big Difference
Thought I would share this before it gets moved to the Car Care section.
I had used ICE on my silver C5 with great results, but tried it once on my black C6 and thought it was way too streaky.
I have been using NXT 2.0 on my C6 and quite pleased - [ I have about 7 coats of NXT 2.0 on it ]
But today I had some time and thought I would do a quick experiment and did half the hood with ICE.
After polishing, I was surprised to see a deeper black! Some pics:
Yes, that is my garage ceiling reflected off the hood.....

Well, after seeing the difference I did the entire car, so I can't show any differences in the sun now.
I had used Zaino before, but frankly, the results with either ICE or NXT were comparable with a lot less effort [and cost].
Just my $.02....

I tried the ICE on top just as an experiment, and it did give a deeper gloss.
I was concerned it would streak like the first time I used it on black, but it buffed off very evenly with my DA polisher.
Next, I will try the NXT on top of the ICE and see how that looks.....
