The black box ice is a great product..covers/hides minor scratches and scuffs on black paint. Yes, it takes time to do a black vette, but well worth the effort. I have used ice on other vechicles with success also..good stuff

I use it and it does OK. It's inexpensive and easy to work with but it doesn't last long and, while it is shiny, there is very little "depth" like one would see with a decent wax. If I had to rate it, I'd say 3/5.

It's the only product I know of that can be used for everything on the exterior of a car (except 'Vert tops). I use it exclusively for all black plastic pieces, including the wheel wells. It does well on the interior portion of the factory chrome wheels too. Windshield wiper arms, tailights, headlights, etc. It doesn't leave any visible residue whatsoever. It will work for your tires, but I prefer the Zaino tire stuff.
I use Rejex on the JSB paint and my NPP tips.

Save yourself the guess work and just skip over all the retail type products like turtle $hit and everything else. Just do yourself a favor and by a couple Zaino products and you will get the best results money can buy.

I have used ICE for years to wash my vehicle and have loved it. It works terrible in the sun. But then again, you shouldn't be washing your vehicle in the sun. I have never had a problem using it with any color. But as some have said, it does make your vehicle a dust magnet, so I California Dust basically every day. I recently ran out and have decided to try the Mother's car wash to see if I like it. It's nice to have a change every once and a while.

(2) If you enlarge the pic on the Grand Sport you will see the depth. Also ask anyone who has a Inferno Orange and they will all tell you the same thing pics do not do the Inferno Orange justice you have to see it in person. Maybe this pic is better, use Turtle Wax Ice all the time between waxing
Pic before Window Tint. Car looks wet all the time using Turtle Wax Ice.

I have used Zaino, NXT, and the Turtle Wax black box. Zaino gives the deepest shine, but the Turtle Wax Black box does a better job of hiding minor scratches on an older black car. (I have a black 2005.). Not favoring any product, just my experience.

The first time i used 'Ice' it felt like I was putting Armor All on my car. But it does buff out well and look's good. I've also used NXT with good results. I think they are all good. Going to try McGuire's synthetic sealer next. Just bought it at the Charlotte Autofair.

I use Surf City Garage Barrier Reef Carnauba Wax. You guys really need to try this product. Easy on and very easy to wipe off. The best shine I've seen in years. I've been using Zaino but now I am switching to Surf City.
