I always follow up a wash with Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax which allows the cars to have a superior water bead.

For a spectacular Stand Alone wax look at NXT 2.0. If you know how to actually wax, then there is not an issue. Try the liquid if you have a poor technique.

I used to use ICE liquid wax and all it amounted to was a hyped up booster wax which has issues with heat, also its not a true wax barrier.

Ouch!!!

All I said was this is prob the best store bought polish I've used on my car. Never said it was the best thing on the entire market.

I know I'm not the best detailer in the world, but I know my stuff... I've done over 100 different cars and like trying different products. I barely ever apply anymore by hand. Usually only use my buffer.

Well, everything listed in my 2 links were Local Autozone/Pep Boys Bought. Though I do use more online only products but everything in the post was locally gotten.

No worries and the results from what I have seen look good but I am willing to put up Meguiars to Turtle Wax any day of the week. Also before I forget, if you cannot find Ult. Wash/Wax at Autozone, Walmart also carries it too.

** One side note, I know the product says polish, but to polish is to infer that there are abrasives that will break down or even out high spots in the clear coat. What ICE does is simply Wax the surface or to creat a barrier. I know it sounds like nit picking but using products like Meguiar's SwirlX, ColorX, Ultimate Compound are True Polish.
