Default Turtle Liquid ICE

Saw the commercials and spent the 17.99 and tried it last night... 10 minutes to wax the whole thing and it looks as good as any hand wax I've given it. I am all for this product as it also shines lights, the black molding/plastic with no residue! Didn't use much either to wax it. Now I'll be able to wax every wash (I mean, i did before anyways, right???)

Any other experiences?

I tried it and found on my car it left a film on the car that attracked dust, I had to wash the car again after I used ICE, I didn't like it at all.

I have found its easy on, easy off. Nice shine but doesn't last. I'm sticking with RejeX.

not a liquid clay bar, a wax... but it's all good. I like the way my car looked and have already gotten compliments from coworkers this morning. I figure it won't last long but as long as it looks good, and doesn't harm anything, I'd rather spend 10 minutes to wax more often as opposed to an hour, which I'm just not going to do everytime I warsh!

Maybe I would use this on my Truck, but not on the Vette as I do not wax it everytime I wash it anyway

Actually they make Ice liquid clay bar I tried it as well as the wax, neither worked well, the liquid clay bar did not clean the paint as as stated the "wax" left a oily film.

I've tried it and liked it very much. I did not notice any oil residue left behind after it was properly wiped off. its so quick to do that I usually use it after every wash. I wash and ice the car just about every weekend, its a daily driver so by saturday its time for a wash. I really like that you can apply in direct sunlight without any advsere effects, and it leaves the car looking just waxed. when I first bougt my car I got a few coats of wax on it in a couple of weeks because I have no idea what the previosu owner or dealership did to keep the paint in good shape. now I'll only do it 2-4 times a year using ice in between to keep it looking good.

I waxed the car when I got is a few weeks ago, and I haven't had to wash it since (until today when i got caught in a downpour). Each time I drive the car, I let it cool down and then spray the ICE over it and wipe her down. Takes me about 5 minutes and it makes Florida's lovely love bugs wipe off with no problem. I love the stuff and use it every time I drive the car.

I have a personal bias against any product by Turtle Wax and Armor All. Never use any of their stuff. Shows my age, I guess.
