Default Turtle Wax Ice SUCKSSSS!!!!!!

Just wanted to drop a line to everyone on this new turtle wax ice. It is not worth the bottle its in. I just spent the better part of 4.5 Hours trying to get that wax off of the truck. Im going back to my good ole Meguiars Gold Class. Trust me dont waste you your time or money to try this stuff out.

ya know...Turtle Wax use to make some really good wax IMO back in the early 90's.....course now all most companies care about is makin money....I think i'll be sticking with my Meguiar's or Zymol wax for now

yes i remember that was all my father used. I thought as a teen it was the best. I guess dad never discovered Meguiars Gold Class. regardless, that was why i was willing to try.

Meguiars is a good wax I won't disagree with that. But I do have to have to disagree with your comment about the ICE wax. I have used it a couple of times and I have to say it is one of the better waxes that I have used for the simple fact that it stays longer than anything else that I have used and trust me I have used most waxes. It is a pain in the *** to get off but the results are great!! Everyone is entitled to there own opinion, so use whatever makes you happy.. my 2 cents

I don't know about the wax, but the ICE Polish works great. I use Turtle Wax platinum series ultra gloss liquid wax, and I really like it! I also broke down and bought an orbital polisher/buffer.

I use Turtle Wax Ice on my Wife's Jeep Liberty...to be honestI like it becauseI dont think it takes long to do. I used the micro-fiber cloth that came with it and it comes off really easy...but only if I used it. I tried using an old Tshirt once and it took forever.
I dont think the stuff lasts very long butI hate waxing the liberty so LikeI saidI only use it cuz it doenst take long to apply/remove. Also the jeep has the plastic fender flares and you can use the Ice on plastic without it turning white later on.
I use LiquidGlass on my Dodge though....that stuff lasts FOREVER..but if you do it right its kinda labor intensive and takes a while to do since you're supposed to use the "pre-cleaner" first and that alone takes a bit of time...but its the Dodge so its worth it
