what does everything think about this product? I've used it once and it seems to work well.

Never heard of it
I've used it twice too. My runner and wife's mazda.
From what I have tried before this goes on hands down better than any other product I have tried.
The lasting results for me are mixed. On my runner it seemed to not last as long. My wife's did and looked great after 1 yr (up until we sold it last month).
I plan to use it more often on my "white runner". Which by the way have owned 5 in the past and my current runner has questionable factory paint finish in my opinion.

I tried the "Ice" last year and it goes on great but it did not last long at all. I gave it to a friend to try and he said the same thing.
I have had good luck with Finish 2001 or as it's now called F-21 by turtle wax. The shine is just good overall but it last's for a long time. As a matter of fact a friend of mine at a detail shop gave me some real big $$$ stuff to try so I did one fender with the high $$$ stuff and the other with my F-21 and my cheep F-21 stuff lasted twice as long and was just as easy to work with.

Yeah I've had much better luck with Meguiars and their new NXT stuff. I've tried everything out there.
What do you guys think of the Poly sealant the dealership does? Ideally you're supposed to get it done 1/yr. I had a friend swear by it saying that his truck was much easier to take care of during the year when they sealed it. I used to use Blue Coral's Poly Sealant. It worked pretty good also.

Not sure, it looked decent, and I had actually thought about getting some here in the past couple days, but after reading the reviews here, I think I'll pass.
I've been using Meguiar's wax products for a while, pretty decent stuff. I also like Mother's Carnuba Wax, it's what I use the most. Lasts about six months, but ideally I'd wax it every 3 months or so. I had a brand new F-150 back in 96, had 15 miles on the odometer when I drove it off the lot. Had it a year and traded it off on a Ram. In that year, I think I waxed that truck, oh, at least 6 times lol. I even washed the underside of the cab/bed/frame a couple times with a wash cloth and soapy water. That truck was in BETTER and CLEANER condition when I traded it in than when I bought it brand new LOL. (Was alot younger, single, and living at home at the time .......)
My dad loves Zymol. Havent tried it myself but looks to do a good job.

feedback on ICE wax
Own two 4runners - 01 & 07.......
recently tried the new ICE wax..... Washed, and dryed first.......
Lighter color 4runner appeared to be great - nice shine, used on bumpers, etc..... FYI - the color is light silver.
Next on the 07 - color is shadow mica.......went on easy, but the shine was not near what I expected. Even tried to "buff" w/ the microfiber towel that came with it - still appeared w/ a light "haze", and was not what I expected. Unfortunatley, I pulled the "old turtle wax" out and put on one coat.........that brought out the finish that I expected!!! Saw my reflection perfectly on the hood!!!! no haze.
In closing - might try it again, but did not get the desired results, especially on a darker colored vehicle.
Any suggestions?????
