Default Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss

The new Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss that is in a dark green, almost green black, bottle with a silver grey cap is GREAT!!!!!!!! stuff.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=goodidea.gif][sm=smiley2.gif][sm=exactly.gif] I finally got around to waxing my SRT-4 for the first time and it is by far the best stuff I've ever used, and I've done alot of waxing over the years. This stuff goes on nice and easy like most and it comes off easier and better than any wax that I've ever used before. It only takes light wiping to remove it, no more hard to rub off, swirl causing and arm tiring effort. I waxed my car faster than I have ever waxed a car before, all because it comes off so nice and easy.

I also highly recommend the use of microfiber towels/rags, they are truely 100% lint free and work beautifully with both wax and Meguires Quick Detailer as well as others.

Here is a picture of the Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss wax:

I myself have never had any problems with Turtle Wax products, I've always used their waxes and chrome polish with great results, but the waxes were rather hard to use requiring lots of work to rub out. A friend of mine has had the problem your talking about with his Tiburon, we've tried a few different kinds of Turtle Wax and other waxes and all of them left it horrible looking. They would not rub out without leaving it splotchy with some areas darker than others and some areas still hazy. Sometimes it would even out with enormous amounts of rubbing using enough pressure to buckle the metal panels.[:@] Saturday night we tried a few test patches with this new Turtle Wax on his Tiburon and it worked perfectly, no patchy areas or hazy spots and it rubbed out with little to no pressure whatsoever. As I said, this is by far the best wax I have EVER used.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=goodidea.gif][sm=icon_rock.gif][sm=exactly.gif]

Well, it looks as though the Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss did what no other wax has been able to do, it easily waxed a Tiburon that wouldn't take to any other wax we could find. All the others would leave it patchy and swirled, but the new Turtle Wax took care of it and came out like it should.

Looks like I am going to have to try this and see. I normally use Mequirs and I love it. But I'll try anything and see if it works better for me. Thanks for the tip.

His Tiburon is black, so every single little mistake shows up like a beacon. We have tried waxing it a few times with hideously bad results, it would turn out looking like black camoflage with lighter and darker spots. It would have turned out OK if we were using a buffer, but just rubbing it was far too difficult and would have taken an entire day of rubbing to get it looking the way it should. The more we worked on it the better it became, but it was far to labor intensive to put forth enough effort to do it. The Ultra Gloss did the job though, it was simple and easy and wiped off perfectly leaving it looking like an ultra shiny wet glasslike deep dark black hole. Here is a picture of his Tiburon from last years Neo Classic right before the GTP next to him kicked his doors in[sm=icon_rofl.gif]:

You will love this stuff, I have showed it to a few people and they are buying it and trying it out after seeing how well it works for themselves on their own cars. You won't be disappointed.

You're a good "pitchman" RR!![sm=smiley36.gif]

I'll see if my nearby Wally World has it. If not, then the Auto Zone across the street.

Thanks. I got to see it in person yesterday and I must say that it's the first and only one to get the job done right on his car, that to me is more than enough reason alone. You should have seen what a POS @%$@% his thing was to wax and how crappy it looked afterward. Thanks to this Ultra Gloss it's just a memory instead of a nightmare.
