Turtle Wax Ice

Anyone who's looking for a great way to clean their car relatively fast, Turtle Wax Ice products are the best car care products out there, period. We own a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and off-roading is an everyday task. Our street is nothing but one mile of pure compacted dirt, making our Jeep stained with a light filth. When it rains out, that dirt makes our Jeep exceptionally muddy as we're going down the road. Clumps of mud easily become an eyesore traveling or when guests come and notice the hideous thing in the driveway. As an extra precaution, we attempted to keep our Grand Cherokee as beautiful as we first received it.
Despite failed efforts with name brand products and not to mention loads of cash spent on the cleaning items, we were unable to find a real product that simply was fast, affordable, but most importantly left our Jeep generously maintained. Then I heard about Turtle Wax Ice & remembered I had never tried any of their products before. The first thing I had noticed about the product was its design. Ice simply stood out from the rest of the other products I had, with its slanted, eye-grasping blue cap and cool car pictured on the front clear container resembling ice.
Who can judge a book by its cover though? I decided to give Turtle Wax Ice a shot, specifically the Ice Synthetic Spray Detailer, Ice Synthetic Liquid Polish and some Turtle Wax 1-Step Wax & Dry Car Wax gotten from Christmas. So I go outside and just gaze at our Jeep, wondering how long it's going to take to clean the mess. It took nearly two hours to wash it twice, getting all the mud off, but would suggest anyone else to go through an auto car wash to avoid hassle. What wasn't a hassle and took about 3 minutes for each application were the Ice/Turtle Wax car care products.
I started out mildly coating a panel at a time with the 1-Step Wax & Dry while it was partially wet, which then was cleared of any excess wax. We hadn't waxed our Jeep in nearly a year and it needed the wax. It was kind of cool standing there and watching the water dripping from the roof onto the panels and forming a bead like effect for once. Secondly, the Ice Synthetic Spray Detailer was used. With the spray action, there was no mess trying to pour it into a cloth. Lastly the Synthetic Liquid Polish was used. I was glad a micro-fiber cloth was included so I wouldn't be forced to use an old rag, which could have scratched the paint or left it streaky. The Liquid Polish simply brought out beauty.
I had my mother come out and inspect the vehicle afterwards and she had commented, "It looks better then the day we bought it." I had to agree with her, the combination of the two Turtle Wax products was just stunning. What's amazing though is that the place we bought the Jeep uses expensive professional car care products, and Turtle Wax Ice was bought relatively affordable at a store, but still looked way better. I was so stunned by the sheer performance of the car care products that I had to buy more of it, even though a large amount was still remaining after the application. It's just that amazing.

Very nice man. I guess I will be getting some new car care products soon. Unless you want to detail my car!

My brother works for sc johnson, the parent company or former parent company, and he said it was good stuff. It should also make washing the car a lot easier. It makes the surface super slippery, and nothing will stick to it. Let us know how it performs once the car is dirty again.

I've tried pretty much all of the products out there from the low end to the super high end and time after time Turtle Wax products have come out to be my favorites. I simply love em. In my opinion the high dollar products seem to be a complete waste of money. I've since given up with all other products and simply stick with what I know will work best, and that's Turtle Wax.

The story behind Turtle Wax is kinda funny too. Apparently the inventer got his start back in the day by going to baseball games and waxing one front fender on everyones car. When they came out and saw how nice their fender looked, they wanted the product to complete the job and at the end of the row was the inventer sitting at a table loaded with Turtle Wax.

Could you imagine someone messing with your car at a ball game today ?? LOL

Hey that big ass scratch on the pass side fender came out with the ice or was that something else you used? I have quite a bit of "redneck pinstriping" on my D and I can't get it off. I was going to take it to a body shop and get it buffed out but if this stuff does the trick I'll give it a shot.

Mean Green, how bad is the, I call it, Brush Pinstripping??? there are probably a few products you could use yourself to take care of it..

I would say very noticeable in the sun. They aren't too very bad and I know if I had a buffer I could take it out but I've already used some of that scratch remover in the orange bottle (I can't think of the name) and it wasn't much of an inprovement.

MoparMJM · #9 08-21-2006, 02:01 AM

maybe "scratch doctor"??

have you tried the Meg's scratch remover yet?....

although, before I would even think of taking it to someone else, I would buy a buffer and knock it out.. there are some random orbit buffers out there that you could pick up for cheap..($20-30)

There's an idea. I think it was nufinish that I used but it was only good for about a week or 2. I'm not very "outside of the car" friendly when it comes to being clean and shiny so it hasn't been waxed or anything since I bought it in Oct of last year. I guess if you have some advice on cleaning it up and making it pretty I could use it. I have some turtle wax (never even opened it yet) and armor all for the interior what else should I use.
