Yes, wax in a spray bottle is probably a liquid. 1 bottle enough to do the whole truck and wheels (if you wax those)?

Well, there is spray wax like the ICE and then there is just liquid your pour onto your cloth. You're referring to the spray wax. lol
1 bottle of ICE has lasted me quite a while, bout 2 years now I think. Granted that is washing and waxing twice a year. I HAVE forgotten to wax my roof quite a few times. Otherwise it would be gone I'm sure.
And I don't wax my wheels, I need to get a powerball and some polish....I bet they're clean up nice.

I guess I am a little behind, I have not even washed my truck yet.lol I am too busy sticking other things on. The window tint guy washed my windows. The Tire guys will wash my rims and I guess I should wash the truck.grrrr The dealer pimped out and detailed the truck before I drove it off the lot (I think so he could make off with the 5th wheel rails). The Jiffy lube guys did a full inspection for me and lubed everything up. I did notice they did not do my U joints, going to have a talk with them on that one. I get to do all the fun stuff, no time for actual work. lol

Wash and wax. The Turtle ICE Spray Wax is ok, but I think the Turtle Wax Compound in the green container produces better results...

Looks good S

You might try a pre-cleaner product before waxing, then try a good paste wax a real wax, Sorry wax out of a spray bottle just is not on my shelf. If you step up to a mid to top line wax the truck will only needed to be waxed once or twice a year with min maintenance to keep it looking top notch. Yes the wax's are more expensive but last much longer so you use less of it. Mothers and Meqiures are no longer used by me I have gone past what they can offer.
Auto Glym, DODO Juice, Swisswax are just some of the products I use. Investing in good cleaning/care products is not a cheap endeavor but the results are worth it.

Here is a site for you to check out if you so please.

I like your new sig pix looks good so does the truck!

Thanks merc! I did check out the link, looks like good stuff.

This is the first time I've ever tried spray wax, probably won't get it again.

Edit:

Thanks dodge dude, I broke the other one removing it from the door, the driver was was wrecked, as some remember, and they had to work on the door, and used some silicone of some sorts to reattach the emblem, the passenger side still had the factory glue/tape whatever it is, and it was a bitch to get off.
