I use Zymol on mine (think that's how you spell it) However, it's like $13.00 a bottle. Great stuff though. Haven't tried ICE yet, but it may be just as good.

If you're looking for something available over the counter try Meguiars NXT or Mothers F/X Synwax. NXT will hide some swirls but you aren't going to remove many by hand with an OTC wax/sealant. F/X is about $5 cheaper but doesn't come with an applicator pad. Then again F/X doesn't stain trim like NXT.

If you have Carquest in your area go see if they have Duragloss products. Duragloss 105 is awesome stuff that, IMO rivals Zaino for less money. Also pick up Aquawax if they have it, it's a bad *** spray wax.

I've had two black Trailblazers (02 LTZ and 06 TBSS) and have used many waxes and cleaners. I haven't found one that works better the Eagle One Nano Wax. It covers swirls and small scratches. Goes on very easy and comes of even easier. Creates a very deep shine.

Yep I think it does, but to get rid of the swirl marks I use Meguiars Quick Clay then the Gold class wax. No swirl marks and the paint is smooth as glass. Easiest stuff I have found for black paint.

i have used Meguires NXT i really liked it! for spray wax i like Eagle One Nano wax, i put it on my windows also works just like rainX. that new ICE stuff looks good too, i like it cause its clear and wont leave the white residue on your trim (hard to get off) but have not tried it.
