Cleaning power is there but it's nothing to be that crazy about, but the shine and protection it leaves is top notch. I was surprised how it shined and how water is still beading on the car after a few days of rain. It's the best detail spray i have used to date. I give it a 8/10, it looses points for it's not so great cleaning power but top marks for shine and protection :)

I think it cleans better than any other 'detailer' but the shine isn't really there like most others. (oppisite to your post lol)

I know it shines better then the megs stuff i have tried and the mothers...... I love it though B)
Turtle wax and eagle one must be my favourite overall line of products... Meguairs is overpriced and mothers is well... hard to find.

You know what makes it look really good no matter what type of wax it is............ reading the instructions. Every wax is different from application method drying time polishing etc. There are so many factors that play into getting the wax to adhere to the paint correctly; you have to follow the instructions.
For me you only need three things and I've been doing it this way for the past 4 years.
- Meguires Tech wax ( Liquid )
- Porter Cable dual motion buffer
- Microfiber buffing cloths.
Creates a super deep shine which lasts months. I did my GF's white GrandAm GT in October, spent maybe 20 minutes total on it. It spent every night outside over the winter and was washed maybe twice a month at a drive through carwash. Last weekend I washed it and was going to wax it again but it didn't need it. The shine was still just as deep smooth and glossy.
I have a few cars.
One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?

I used the Meguires clay bar on the Focus first and then applied the Turtle Wax ICE. I too was quite suprised with how easy it went on and off. Plus the benefit of not having to reclean all the white residue off the plastic is amazing. The fact that it polished all the black plastic parts on the car at the same time makes it the new choice for me.
I know its not even close to the same league that Zaino is in, but for the convenience that this gives me, I can adapt.

Okay so i used said product on my car today...(got a free trial pack from where i work)...anyhow...this is my review
1) works awesome...i guess, i mean my car is shiney....
2) I wouldn't recommend it on light color cars...IE..CD Silver...i just can't tell where i put it on, or if i had taken it all off.
3) I got it free, so i tried it....
4) I guess my only gripe with it is, it doesn't really HAZE up that much....which for my car for example, would be a bonus.
other than that...good product

I primarily use the Turtlewax Platinum Paste wax on my car, which I will use with or without compounding it with clearcoat turltlewax compound. But for in between actual waxes, I LOVE this stuff. It actually goes on and comes off easier than the platinum spray detailer, and it does leave a nice glint to the car, and a nice smell too. It's light, not oily, and it cleans soap residue from the carwash very well, along with other stuff.
I think it's a great product at a reasonable price. B)
