Turle Wax Ice?
I've been using NXT for awhile now and love it, But just curious about this Turtle Wax Ice has anyone tried it on their Z/G yet?

See my post a little down in the forum under Liquid Turtle Wax, I left ice out of the title since I am mildly retarded. If you want some pics of my results shoot me a PM with your email address.

I just finished using Ice on my '04 SB ZR. Here is my review:
I have never been a fan of TW products, preferring Meguire's NXT especially on my black car. But, I was intriuged and gave Ice a try.
First I polished w/ Menzerna Final, using a PC polisher and a Lake Country white pad. Then I applied Ice to a cool car in my garage using the supplied pad.
Some posters likened Ice's consistency to water; it's more like liquid tire shine and even feels a little like tire shine on your fingers. At first I thought, Oh, Sh*t, I'm going to have a real mess that will require a Dawn wash and going bact to NXT. But I was wrong.
The Ice is slippery and doesn't dry to a haze, but after about 5 minutes on, it wiped off w/ a microfiber towel easily and very cleanly. There was no streaking, no blotching, and it left a very reflective shine.
The Ice also had the feel that it might "layer", so I applied it 3 more times and got BEAUTIFUl results; deep, clear, streak-free shine that seemed to fill in minor swirls and imperfections. I like this stuff every bit as much as NXT, maybe even better with more layers.
A little goes a long way, and the first application is a little scary, especially if you're used to using pastes that dry to full haze, but sticking with it improves your confidence and extra layers really seem to pay off.
Will I throw away my PC polisher and Menzerna? No. Will I continue to use Ice as my weekly polish? YES. It's easy on/easy off, no white residue, and about the same price as NXT paste. I'm a fan.
