Do You Wax ? Or Do You ICE ?

[psychos2]

Tried the new turtle wax ice. I am impressed. You can use it on all exterior paint,plastics, trim, etc. Yes you can do the cladding and paint in one shot. It says not to use on glass. It is a synthetic formula liquid wax,that leaves no white residue. It took a few applications on the cladding to get it looking good and even. There has been nothing on the cladding all winter. So it was pretty dry. It comes with the applicator and the microfiber towel you need to remove it with. It can also be applied in the sun. It goes on easy and wipes off just as easy. I just applied another coat and took about 15 minutes. Try it I think you will like it. Shawn

Seems pretty cool. Can you fill us in on it's long term durability in a few days/weeks and let us know how it holds up?

thanks

I first used it 4 days ago. It has rained some since then and i washed it today. The cladding showed no signs of change. With all the other products i have used whenever it would rain i had to re apply. When i washed it the water beaded off just like on the paint. So far I think it is the best wax I have ever used. Looks better than the Zaino Bros wax. shawn

sounds great.. did you do anything to the cladding before waxing? (mothers, meguires tire gel etc)

I saw that stuff the other day and might try the detailer. As far as wax goes I'm still with a lot of folks here and swear by Collinite Insulator (although it's a little pricey I'll admit).

Yes it is good stuff, but can you use it on the cladding? shawn

Just got done waxing with "ICE"...
It's a little strange at first, as a little goes a loooong way. Also, it's hard to tell when it's dry enough to buff as there is very little visible change in appearance...no powdery "haze".
Has a very good gloss after buffing, goes on & comes off E-Z. Also has a nice slick feel when done (da).
Of course it started raining 3.420 min. after I was done , but at least I got to see how nicely it beads water .
All in all, pretty good stuff...we'll see how it lasts.
Oh yeah, nice "synthetic strawberry" smell.
Thanks for the reco. Shawn.

I don't think some of you are understanding this. You can use this wax on the cladding. No more trying not to wax the cladding and then trying not to get whatever you use on the cladding on the wax. It's almost too easy. shawn

I don't know, but it was really soon.

LOL!!!!!

I really liked the results on the cladding......, but did have to redo some areas. Does the detailer ice create the same effect?
