Thread: Turtle Wax Ice

  1. #1

    Default Turtle Wax Ice

    Has anyone tried this stuff? When it came out it was like 20 bucks, now I saw it at Wal-Mart for around $9. I want to try it but I would like some input on it before I buy it. Thanks.

    I've never tried it, but many people who have say that it has piss poor durability.

    About the best products available at a store in my opinion are Mothers FX, and Mothers Reflections.

    Many people also like Meguiars NXT.

    I used to sell it cuz i would always get people that come back to me and liked it. so i would pass that onto people, so i cant be bad.

    its nice for inbetween "real" waxes. its not a paste so it doesnt put down as thick of a protective layer so it doesnt last long, but its super fast and easy. spray, swirl, dry, wipe. no real effort put into the actual waxing part. i use mother's stuff normally, i just bought a bottle to try it.

    Thanks for the info. I think I'll give it a try. I've been using Eagle One Nano wax lately. I really like the way it turns out. I have yet to try NXT.

    Clay bar your car, it's critical for you to actually make the paint look like lets say a new car. Secondly, when you wash, use a sponge. Also try using a good swirl remover with either a buffer/applicator or some really good elbow grease.

    There is no Mothers GC. There is Mothers California Gold, and there is Meguiars Gold Class.

    Cali Gold is carnauba, FX & Reflections are synthetic.

    Actually, most detailers will tell you to not use sponges. They pickup dirt and debree much easier than a microfiber/cotton hand mitt.

    Also, I've heard a lot more negatives about the "ICE" than positives. There have been complaints of it leaving a deep haze in the paint, a couple of days after application. I'd rather put my money into something a little more promising.
