I've used the detailer spray before, but never the polish/claybar stuff. The Ice detailer spray is by far the best stuff i've ever used before. I swear by that stuff...
What was in the kit?? There are a few different Ice products.

yea i got that kit at target for 75% off ended up being 7 bucks. Havent gotten a chance to use anything though. It came with the detail spray, window cleaner, wax, interior cleaner, and 2 microfiber towels.

I have mixed feelings. I use it on the truck for a quick wax job that I know won't last long. The detailer does work nice. The liquid clay bar is worthless.
I do believe the ICE is a synthetic polish that contains no wax. It does offer protection more than a true polish though.
I have used Zaino, I think it looks good on dark colors. It's a pain to use, so now I'm sticking to Meguiars (as long as 3M doesn't screw them up), Mothers, and I have recently tried Surf City and it is pretty damn good too.

anyone know a good carnauba wax thats less than $50 that looks good on a black car? i think i wanna go the route of a carnauba on top of a synthetic sealant. i used megs nxt 2.0 and it looked great and i put zymol cleaner wax on top of that. it looks pretty good but idk if i wanna buy another bottle when that runs out. i know zymol cleaner has some carnauba in it and its like $20 a bottle. plus it smells delicious. so any opinions on good carnauba waxes that wont kill my wallet?

put a few coats of Zaino polish and some NXT 2.0 and you will have an awesome shine. Would still be under $50 too.
Heres a Z06 I did with Zaino polish and Meguiars carnauba liquid wax. Black too ;)

I think I have a few sample bottles of Surf City Garage 100% pure carnauba around the office. PM me your address and I'll send some to you.
I work for a division of NAPA Auto Parts and we just added Surf City as a vendor of ours. I'd like to get some other opinions about it. All the guys in my department really like it, I think it works as good as any Meguiars or Mothers.

another vote for the nxt tech wax 2.0, put it on the car after a 1500 grit wet sand and buff and it took out almost all the swirl marks, and the stuff is slick. went to the track a week after putting it on and didn't have any rubber stuck to the quarter behind the tire, and the car SHINES man, looks like a fricken mirror. ohh and it smells good too.
