Default Turtle Wax Ice

Just bought some of this stuff but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Anyone try it yet? What did you think of it?

I bought some a few weeks ago after reading about it on one of the threads. I love it so far. Seems to do a better job that Maguire's and doesn't leave any residue.

I tried this stuff last year while visiting my buddy in Pasadena. It's junk as far as I'm concerned. Streaks and was next to impossible to rub off. Weird stuff. What can be possibly harder than Eagle 1 Nanowax or Maguires NXT?

tried it on my wife's black SUV before using it on my black cobra. Terrible! Left streaks. Sent it back, received full refund.

I've used it on my other cars. (Just got my Cobra, haven't washed it yet) You have to apply in small areas and don't really let it dry. Use the sponge to wipe on (about a 3 x 3 area), wait a minute, and start buffing with a microfiber cloth. I goes pretty fast and as smeredith stated, there is no residue. I've used the detailing spray also. It works good and only takes a few minutes to do a whole car.

Tried the Ice, same results as Zoom This (above). Bought some "Brilliant Spray Glaze" from Adam's Polish- that is the stuff to use! Fast, easy, great shine/depth/slick feel.

Thumbs up

Have not used the wax...just the detailer...got it in my "goody bag" on the Hot Rod Power Tour. I did my red F350 dually and the Cobra before going to London show...loved it...as mentioned above, do small area at a time and then when vehicle is done went back over with terry cloth towel to really raise the shine.

I tried this on mine just before we left for London and I liked the feel, but my paint looked the same. I will use the bottle up, but I am not sure it would be a product I would buy again.

I got he same results using that Meguires Detail spray and Glass Plus.

McGuires "Final Inspection" works better then the detail spray.

Turtle Wax Ice contains silicone which will build up.

My secret and what I found works better then all that stuff, and there are few who are more nuts then me with a black car is......just plain bottled water which I mist on and wipe off with a dryishdamp towel. No streaks, no smears!

Yup, Zaino is made right here in NJ. It is available by mail order only. If in NJ, you need to drive down to Lakewood and pick it up. Zaino has no mail order in NJ.

Still worth the drive!

Anyone used Zymol (http://www.zymol.com/) ? I have always used this on my Porsche 911s (sensible, daily drivers, as opposed to the Green Snake!!), with fabulous results. I have started using it on my Cobra, but will change if anyone has any critiques!!!!
