what are some good car waxes out there.

I hear mothers is a good choice

Yes, mothers is a good choice but I personally prefer Turtle Wax. It's very protective and lasts a long time.

Adams Buttery Wax is the best wax I've ever used.

I love Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0, which is a slightly abrasive polish/wax and works wonders at taking out small swirl marks. I used Zymol Cleaner Wax (the blue stuff) a couple of times, but it doesn't compare to the NXT.

do you have any experience with Turtle Wax Ice liquid polish?

Turtle Wax is junk.

What type do you use?
I've used Turtle Wax for many years, both paste and liquid, and while it does appear to protect well, I would not say that it really lasts a long time on the car. I find that in terms of durability, synthetic waxes are better.

I use Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax if I'm in a rush since it applies/wipes off very easily and quickly. However I've found that it doesn't layer very well for a truly deep-looking finish. If I have the time I use Meguiar's Gold Class instead. I prefer the paste to the liquid.

I don't know exactly what I have been using but I usually use paste. The liquid stuff is crap. It protects amazingly and lasts fairly long. I personally like it.

Dude that stuff is awesome! It's too thick for my buffer though

... but that means it's good.

Turtle wax FTL! No shine and no protection. Either go to your local harley dealer and get some s100 wax, or find a local pbe or pep boys/oreillys and get some megs number 26. Check out autogeek.net you'll find more wax to satisfy an insatiable appetite for cleanliness.
