Another fan. Used the detailer since it came out but avoided the wax because I was a fan of "real" wax. Then I read the label and found that it contained a blend of carnauba *and* a synthetic. Then I was kicking myself for waiting so long.

Ditto on Zymol....been using it for years on paint, chrome, light lenses and shield. Great stuff and only need to use enough on rag to be moist. Originally discovered Zymol was best for my Black Tahoe. Works great on all colors but especially nice on black or darker colors. 1 bottle goes a long way!

Ice is great for 'between waxings' but isn't a replacement for a high quality carnauba. I wish it was cuz it's so damned easy.

I have not been that brave yet. The only thing I use is the Harley spray cleaner. I've heard to many horror stories when it comes the the windshield. Maybe some else has tried and will pipe in.
