okay since nobody asked this, or I'm blind... Who makes a TRUE POLISH ? Zaino...Mothers ? Where can I get one ?
Here's a picture after I detailed my 98 TA in the following manner:
1 - Wash
2 - Paint Cleaner [ Meguiar's ]
3 - Polish [ Meguiar's ] - 2 coats
4 - Wax [ Meguiar's ]
All buffing done by hand [no machine work] using Microfiber Towels!

I use Mezerna Intensive polish to get the scratches and swirls out. Then Mezerna Final polish to smooth the surface and make it shinny. Then I put a layer of wax down.
The two Mezerna products I mentioned are "true polishes" but really should be applied with a machine like the PC.
BTW Rahul your car looks sick.

ive used this stuff twice now, i had a harder time with it the 2nd time, i guess i was tired i dont know, but it works awesome, i used meguirs scratch x and meguirs gold class before this but i didnt like it since it left all that white residue in between cracks and on my plastic, but this ice stuff is badass. i did two coats about 2 weeks ago and my paint still looks pretty good, a little dirty but good. i dont know about what steps to take with other products, but i just wash, dried, and put the ice on. i liked the results, i'll try to post some pics this weekend i think ima wax it again

the pictures suck but you get the idea. Also Jay Vicious what is your current setup with polishs and wax, because your car looks awsome.

Good from start !!!!!!! 1. Washed car with Dawn soap
2. Used leftover Zaino clay bar (not sure if needed, but did not hurt)
3. Applied Turtle Wax Ice as directed on everthing but glass
4. Removed as directed with microfiber cloth
If the deep wet look shine last 2 to 3 months or 3 to 4 as it says , what a time saver and invention !!!!!!!
I stand behind Zaino until then !!!!!!!
This Red SS as of now looks likes it has been Zaino'ed , but with much less time !!!!!!!
Will reply when next wax is needed !!!!!!!
Later

I gave my car a good wash and used the ICE for the first time. It left it feeling nice and coated, not quite as hard waxy as the regular can-o-turtle-wax but its pretty nice.

I washed, dried..and put this stuff on... First coat was ehhh... second coat...hmm interesting.... third coat... WOW!!
Spray on a bit [don't wash the car again with this stuff.. just a quick mist is good], and wipe [no aggressive rubbing needed]...I used two Microfiber Towels
OP: Great find!!... Guys, try this stuff out....
Just try and get atleast 2 coats to see the difference!!
