Better than TW Ice? That's too easy - anything is better than that stuff. Seriously, that is the only consumer product I've come across in the last few years that is a total and complete waste of time and money. So it doesn't stain trim, big whoop. Learn to apply any wax and that's not a concern to start with. Meguiar's Ultimat Wax, in liquid form, won't stain trim either and it won't wash off the first time you wash the car......or it rains.

I don't know for sure in Mother's Syn Wax will or won't stain trim biu I also don't care. Its good stuff and it will last a decent amount of time, and it bows TW Ice into the weeds. I don't think it's anything truly remarkable, but when comes to wax alone not much is - the real gloss and depth comes from all the prep work.

I appreciate that you're a big Meguiar's fan, but if you're looking to experiment with something else and can pick this up for just 6 bucks, go for it.
