Default Turtle Wax Ice

I tried the new wax on my Black 4x4.
Did what it says, can wax in direct sun light. ( did some too hot for me )

Sure looks slick and shiney.

You can wax over plastic and rubber, no white residue.

Thinking about using it on the vette.

Anybody else use it ?

Oh Yeah! Find it to be the easiest wax on wax off product. No longer have to worry about rubber and plastic emblems getting white residue. Gave up on NSX, Mothers, and .......don't hate me, Zaino!
Try the Detailer as well!

Bought a bottle last week. Haven't tried it yet. Might use it on the TB to try it out. RejeX is all I use on the Vette.

Glad your having good results w/ it. Use what you like , I will say I gave the rest of mine away to a friend.

It doesn't have any staying power. Its basically like coating your whole car in armor all.

Rejex all the way. If you haven't tried it, order yourself a bottle. Same price shipped to your door as buying ice in the store if you count tax.

May initial try with ICE was very positive

I waxed my Vette with ICE a couple of days ago and very please with the ease of application and take off. The final shine is quite good. Now if it holds up I will be a definite user.

Lots of mixed reviews on this product. Think I'll just stick with what I know works for me.

same here - did my black c5z06 and my silver c4, and it seemed ok. durability may be another issue - ??? i did put a coat of carnuba over the z06's trunk lid and could not see any difference - the microfiber did drag a bit more over the carnuba waxed panel - ???.

Tried it on my 04 Z06 Commemorative. Went on easy but was difficult to remove, kept streaking and leaving a dull haze. I used a light coat and let it dry as directed. I'll stick with Meguires, easy on and off, readily available, and looks good.

I had the same results with ICE as you did. Tried it once, will never use it again.

Had a little time today so I picked up a bottle of ICE.

I always used NXT before, but the ICE went on so smooth and has such a deeper gloss, I am really pleased.

This stuff rocks....
