    Default Ice by Turtle Wax

    Not sure if anyone else has tried this product, but it is amazing! Finally a wax that can be done in the shade or the sun, on a cool car or a hot one, and best of all, leaves no streaks, circles, or white residue on any of the rubber. Definately check it out!!!

    It is the best. Works wonders on the rubber and plastic trim. I even use it to polish the windows. Shoot, I sometimes use on the interior trim. It does not last as long as paste wax, so you have to use the in-between spray. Worth the money for sure.

    Well, here are some reviews for you: 5 star shine (FSS) review - Autopia Car Detailing Forum

    It looks as though most people didn't find the product to be all that great.

    Default New Turtle Wax ICE Paste

    The new ICE Paste is way better than the original ICE. It is phenominal and a must try.

    why would it look like it?

    ya know... Chemical Guys is also an awesome brand, and their labels are cheap looking for the most part...

    take it from me and others that swear by them.... the great, professional grade stuff don't need flashy bottles, ads, or whatever else to sell.. their results speak for themselves..

    (now i sound like a tv infomercial.... ugghhh)
    LEDs.... yay!

    Exclamation Be Careful...

    Hey everyone, please keep in mind that TurtleWax ICE is a polish and not a wax. The difference is that a polish will enhance the gloss on the paint surface but will not protect your paint from harmful sun waves that causes paint fade as well as other enviromental elements. If your paint has a nice gloss to it you should be using a protective wax and only when the gloss seems to dull would you want to use ICE... check out the bottle, ICE says nothing about being a wax.

    That's why you have these other nifty products from Turtle Wax to help you with your concerns as well.



    I bought the soap (haven't tried it yet), but I'm using up all of the Mr. Clean Soap I bought for my spray gun that mixes the soap and water with the chemical drying agent.

    I tried the POLISH, I wasn't too impressed, but it did give me a nice gloss, the white wax/polish works really nice, but yeah it leaves a white residue behind if you're not meticulous on your detailing. So far so good though, the polish works good and I have no complaints.
