as the container reads,, as the commercial shows, everything about this product rules. wipe on,,, wipe off , that easy.
works great in the sun as well although i dont do that.
not once was there ever a white powder substance to clear off.
10 out of 10 in my book
O.K.,fine....I'll get some.You talked me into it........Hey,you could be the next Billy Mayes.
TURTLE WAX ICE !!!!
WIPE ON !!!!!
WIPE OFF !!!!!!
it's THAT easy !!!!!!!!
anyone tried meguiars ultimate quick wax. same claim.
seems easy to use.
The issue with the Ice is that it doesn't last long, or protect well. It's almost like tire shine for paint.
I still use Meguiar's stuff. "Step 2" car polish followed by Gold Class paste wax. It's great stuff. As a matter of fact the only non Meguiar's car care product I use is Invisable Glass. I like it better than the Meguiar's glass cleaner.
No but I use their Ultimate Quick Detailer. Great stuff :D
Hey Lou, How about Meguiars 2.0 Tech car wax friend ? :poke:
Dan ;)
+1
It's a good in-betweener though.
I don't think I've tried that one. I've used Meguiar's carnuba, Gold Class, and NXT paste wax. Out of the three the Gold Class seems to make the car's paint look deeper and have a harder shine, at least that's how it looks to me ;). I always, always use paste wax. It lasts longer than the liquid wax hands down. Also, and here's the key, don't just wax the car. I always use car polish followed by a coat of wax. The polish helps the paint shine and the wax seals the polish so it doesn't get washed away.
Lou, I have used that Car wax on our Cougar since last year only because our Paint man suggested it. And backed it up with the Meguiars quick mist spray like you use friend. :D
It's great stuff isn't it? You know I actually only wash the 88 once a month. The rest of the time I just dust it with the Meguiar's quick detailer.
the 2.0 is the latest nxt. has no cleaners like gold class. i use
both. tried the ultimate detailer too. i also use captain richards
best-detailer. love it for the bike and truck.
2.0 is on the cougar.original paint not clearcoat.spent a lot of
time on the black with other meguiars polishes to get the paint back
before any wax.
I'm still a Mother's fan.I've used it since it was new.
the reason for the post to to share my experience with how easy it was to apply and how much of a difference it made from my past wax. this stuff was very simple to use and really didnt require the elbow grease from my past years of experiences with wax that turns white.
It was that simple,, lay it down on a thin coat, wait about 5 min and wipe off.
watter repel we nice but I will see how long it holds up.
from my perspective, I wash the car enough to where every couple weeks or three, i can add another coat.
Different wax systems get expensive to just try but someone told me about this then i saw the commercial, wife bought it while she was out and i about shiznit myself when she told me how much she paid. 20 bux.
it goes a loooooooooooooooooooong way though.
just food for thought if you find yourself in a situation where you regret waxing because the buffing takes all the fun out.
with a car like mine, it has many up close paint issues but this stuff blened the imperfections well beyond the past turtle wax, canuba wax, mothers or the other two wax things i have.
I know there is a thread somewhere here about wax products, i couldnt find it our else i would not have started this new thread.
sorry .i apologize. if you want more walmart does carry
it for 9.95. didnt mean to offend.---irv
I don't know what happened with Turtle Wax but like Scott said, in the past (like 1980s-ish) the paste version used to be really difficult to remove. I tried using it on my first '84 back in the day and while it worked quite well, my arms paid for it shortly afterward LOL. Actually for that particular car, Blue Coral worked best because it filled in the scratches nicely (light blue car, light blue wax).
Within the past 3 years I've switched over to using Turtle Wax Platinum liquid wax. It may be discontinued now, as I'm having a very difficult time finding it lately--actually it may have been superceded by the ICE stuff. But same premise: easy on, easy off, no residue, lasts a good long time. I'm disappointed that the ICE wax is so expensive, which has been a major reason why I haven't tried it yet (still have some Platinum left). Maybe when the Platinum runs out I'll give it a go. Thanks for the info Scott.
if you look at the back bottom of the bottle the part number starts i believe with a t. the platnium series is still available in my area.
When it comes to show car detailing tips, we should all sit at the feet of the master trophy winner, aka Mercury Man. :bowdown:
im facing east towards the detail mecca--evansville,in.

Its fair stuff,Ive been using it here and there on stuff for about a year.just like any wax wash it with a non detergent soap and it will last a good while.
Im just presure washing lightly.
