Ice is easier to apply/remove, however I like NXT better because it has seemingly better durability.

You can wax/seal right away, and should. NXT typically lasts about 3 months.

Buy both - they're under $20.00 a pop. Try one for a month then try another and see which you prefer.

I have many different brands of wax. Recently tried Teflon Ultra Wax. Which has silicones. Unlike most car wax. Its pretty durable even after a heavy rain storm. Everytime I wash the Z, I always apply the Wax as you dry spray. This helps the wax last longer. I saw the product you guys are talking about. Its clear and thin like regular spray and wipe.

that soldout comment is kinda dumb

NXT will last you longer (you dont waste as much)


I dont like Ice for the very reason it looks like water. Its not thick at all.

Have you ever used it? I think you have not, because I applied a nice full coat to my car, and I barely put a dent in the bottle. I am guessing I can get 13-20 coats from one bottle (spreads very well).

I just tried it yesterday.. and its the bet wax I have used so far at least in terms of how easy it is to apply and remove and also the shine and smoothness of the paint after it is done.

how long will the polish last on the car.. not sure.. prob not very long.

I have tried zanol, zymol, NXT, meguires, other turble tax and this by far is the best one so far. ..

its all liquid.. almost like oil. at first i thought that its going to suck because of how fast it will get used up.. but actually the bottle just keep staying full.. I did my 3000gt and my 350z and it still looks full like most other products on the shelf. i give it 2 thumbs up..

its still crystal clean today . i see no pollen/dust on the car. i will see how long it lasts. i greatly recommend this wax.. and for the new owners.. try it and you won't have to try anything else.
