It's a good cleaner wax. Black wax offers more polishing oils. Try white wax if you want more cleaning ability.

A boutique product that is priced to high. You can achieve the same look with something at a lower price.

A couple of my favorite carnauba's are Meguiar's M26, Detailers Pro Max Wax, Adam's Americana, Mothers brazilian carnauba.

This this this.. Plus it's a Grand Prix not some $100k+ sports car.. I can achieve the same look with different products.. It's all about technique and what tools you have available.

collinite 845, m26, poorboys natty blue are some of my favorites and won't break the bank.

Ill be doing it by hand supposed to be getting a buffer from my gfs mom for my bday and a whole bunch of detail products cause that's one thing we share in common we both love clean cars and if this white wax works super well I'm having her use it on her white mustang.

I still think their paste cleaner wax is better for the marginal difference. Showtime detailer spray is good stuff .
I had a milk crate full of Mothers products I gave to my brother after realizing Meguiars trumps Mothers.
Their clay bar box is the only item I use.

Meguiars Ultimate compound/Ultimate polish and Ultimate wax would have yielded far better results.
Don't get me wrong....it looks great from here. Just giving you something to think about.
If you like the stuff fine and well...... I'll just go **** myself.

With a DA, the choice would go hands down to Meguiars.

I agree and disagree. Actually Mothers paint professional compound and polish is on par with UC/UP from Meguiar's. I actually think they are a little better than Meguiar's UP and UC. The Mothers pro polish is not as oily, meaning less fillers. Their california gold synthetic wax is ok. It's a breeze to apply and remove. It's durablity is just ok for a sealant. I saw about 3months with it on a test panel. About the same as NXT 2.0. But the looks of NXT are better and I am not a fan of the Mothers Cal Gold Syn Wax having light cleaners in it. Meguiar's M26 is at a whole other level compared to Mothers carnuaba in terms of looks.

The 3 step system is ok for someone that just wants to add a good look. Remember Meguiar's 3 step system? I thought that was the best stuff at one point. Live and learn. But we all upgrade once we learn about other products that just perform better. Don't feel bad about TW ICE. You were not the only one fooled lol
