I've heard nothing good about it. It's loaded with oils and fillers that might make the finish look good for a short time, but there's very little in the way of durability.
The trim issue is always a mystery to me. Not that taping off is a bad idea - I go through a lot of painter's tape when polishing - but if you spend just a few extra seconds being careful when applying around trim, you won't have any problems. And even if you do accidentally hit the trim, just wipe it off before it dries.
For anyone buying locally at parts stores, I always recommend Meguiar's or Mothers...very good stuff from each.

I have used it in the past but it is not something that I would reccommend. It does give a good shine for a short time but it is not very durable. I would suggest visiting a CarQuest or NAPA and pick up some Duragloss 105 or 111.
They are both a wax on wax off product....no white residue to contend with and the results are outstanding.......did I mention it's less than $10 a bottle?

oic. ive used Turtle wax wax and i didnt really like that one since its a trip to buff off.. even tho i use the orbital buffer hehe..
also ive used the meguiers wax as well.. much easier to buff off
but duribility wise. the turtle wax lasted the longest.

Turtle Wax Ice is a liquid polymer sealant, just like Zaino. The difference is that Zaino (2x the price?) will last up to 6 mos, Ice will last 6 days. Just be prepared to use it often. Of course, results vary. Some say it lasts, but most don't. If you're looking for OTC products, consider Duragloss.
