I got a good finish with it but my paint was in real good shape. It is easy and leaves no white residue. Ed

I really like the results. Thought I was going to get a bunch of Zaino is the best responses - here they come now. Or, silicone based - bad - here they come.

I use it on my jet skis. Works great. Makes all of the black plastic stuff look great (and the rest of the ski too)

I never cared for Turtle Wax products, but I did use there Ice detailer and loved that. I guess I'll try the wax.
Thanks

works great. also turtle wax makes F21 which is way better than armor all. it shines better and isnt greasy to touch and doesnt collect dust.

I've been looking for a wax that does not leave white residue. Gotta try it.

I've used Dura Gloss for both my Vette's sense the day I got them.
The turtle wax Ice is suprising me with your favorable comments.
Might give it a try.

if you dont drive your car in the rain you should be using a polish, not a wax. i use ice turtle polish. it really brings out the color with no white buildup like wax. in between use ice spray on and wipe off . works great. what you should do is wash car with dawn dish detergent to get all wax off then use the ice polish. you will be amazed how good it works.

nah, the dawn is just a soap that cuts all of the old wax and any grease off leaving the paint exposed.
people that use a clay bar on their paint before they wax have recommedned this forever
