Turtle Wax Ice

[whaaaaT]

Wow, I thought that stuff was horrible. I've got it sitting in my garage. I use it on the plastice and such. For that it seems to work great. On my paint it leaves streaks and such. Perhaps its no good on black? I tried it a number of times. It also leaves somewhat of a haze and the shine is like right on top of the car. Doesnt look deep at all. This is just my opinion. I tried giving it to my neighbor who said he already had it and it does the same thing to him. I actually think most of its shine comes from the micro fiber cloth. I use maguiers NXT tech wax. It seems to last shine nice and deep and last long. Sometimes I through Meguires gold gloss on there first if i have the time. And i wipe it all down with the nice micro fiber cloth the ice liquid polish came with.

I got some based on what I read here and wasn't impressed with it.. It's not wax, it's polish.. Left hard to remove streaks on the black RX-8 test subject (wife's car).. It did not cut through road grime deposits like a good wax.. Those spray polishes do as good as the Ice and are much easier to work with.

Best stuff I ever found was Turtle Wax Gold Carnuba.. That stuff leaves a great finsh, but is tough to work by hand.. You open the can and it looks like a can of bee's wax.. I haven't seen it or anything like it in several years now..

Interesting! My Silverado is silver, wifes Hummer is black. Now you have me wondering if I should use it. Anyone else try Ice on black??

TurtleWax Ice absolutely sucks as a wax, but is PERFECT when used on black trim.

All of my vehicles are black. I have used it and I love it. Easy to work, great shine, and it does not stain trim. It does streak windows so be cautious around the glass.

Perhaps the others that haven't had luck with it live in an area that is more extreme in environment (desert, high Sun UV exposure, etc). I live in south central Pennsylvania. This winter will be the first in using it so I'll be interested to see how it holds as it typically is the harshest season here.

Is everyone following the directions to the letter I wonder...? Keep in mind that there is the wax and then the touch up spray....
