Tried turtle wax 'Ice'.....

[nikon]

.....what junk, I don't see what everyone is ranting and raving about. It goes on and off easy, but if it doesn't do anything then who cares?? I saw no difference in shine, and the parts of my car that I didn't use the stuff on is smoother than where I used the Ice......I guess I'll just be sticking to zaino, liquid glass and nu-finish.....those have been the best for me.....did I do something wrong with this stuff? I applied, let it haze and wiped it off....anyone care to chime in?

Did great on my car and my girlfriends car but ours are both black... maybe its due to the color of your car. I'd still say that nu finish and zaino are alot better. But however, with ice we could see small scratches dissapear a bit and the cars shined better... made them look wet

Re: Tried turtle wax 'Ice'.....

I really like to use the "Ice" on parts of the car that are difficult to apply and take off wax. Places like the underside of the hood. I had my new hood painted on the underside and since the "ice" dose not leave white stuff, that helps a lot if I miss a spot some where under there. But as far as the exterior body of the car I always have and always will use Meguiar's Gold Class!

I agree with this 100%. Any other part I use either 3M or Zaino wax only though.

i for one really was impressed with Ice it made my the kandy shine alot more...but i don't think my opinion counts because this was my first wax/detailer i have ever used...so what is considered the best??? we should have a poll...

In the end wax/sealant will always be personal preference. Just try a bunch of products and see what you like. I have been using NXT tech wax lately, but for my next detail I'm going to try a few layers of Wolfgang sealant topped with some S100.

i love the NXT tech wax stuff. I used the liquid wax by hand and it made it shine like i coudlnt believe. it also covered up light swirls. I used it with a buffer, and the paint looks brand new! i went and bought the spray wax today.

IMO just go with zaino products... (yes guys on my zaino kick again...)


Its one of the most durable if not the most durable stuff around...


I used NXT tech for a little while when I got lazy, it went on and came off easy but the shine wasn't as good as zaino, and it wears off quickly, like every 2weeks or so you need to redo it.



Either way look up how to clay bar, and really give the car a really good cleaning, before you wax it.
