I was thinking about trying out the Turtle Wax 'Ice' product line this year and seeing how it works. I've heard some really good about it and not so good about it. One guy I used to work with swore up and down by it. He cleaned cars as some extra cash and he only used those products. My uncle has used it on his stang and he said the ice liquid wax he used left a wierd texture to his car... not like a natural fresh wax feeling.

Anybody else used them and have an opinion on it?

My friend uses it on his Mazda and he likes it. It says it takes him no time to wax it. However he says it doesn't last as long as some of the other waxes he has used.

I have not tried it yet.

I got my turtle wax ice supplies at walmart actually. I went to the abingdon walmart. They had everything but the detailer which was just sold out.

Going to give this a try over the next few days. I am sick and tired of finding white flakes and specks all over the car again and again.

I think I spend more time getting wax out of places it shouldn't be then the actual process of waxing the car.

I love this stuff!

Because it is a liquid, it gets a little messy with the applicator when you are finished with it. I keep it in a zip-lock bag so it doesn't get the polish on the shelf or wherever I want to keep it.

I saw two infomercials on Speed Channel, one for Eagle Brand Products and the other for the new Turtle Wax Ice Product line.

I currently use the Ice interior cleaner and preservative for the dash and hard surfaces on my cars and I like it. It is a gel and does not promote that greasy look or feel but rather a subtle shine.

On the infomercial they heavily promoted the fact that the new Ice car polish could be used in direct sunlight or on a hot surface unlike most other waxes and polishes. They also promoted the fact that there is no build up of residue which makes the polishing process go faster.

As far as to how long the protection lasts or how often you need to reapply the polish I do not have an answer.

I currently use a product called New Genesis which is a proprietary formula. I met the owner of the company at Carlisle in 2004 where he was demonstrating this new product. I was totally blown away by the performance of this product in that it can be used in the direct sunlight and lasts about a year. I prefer to polish my car twice a year and use their spray on polish in between hand polishing for an added four months of protection.

The owner of the company, Art Gibson, told me that Turtle Wax was trying to buy his company to get their hands on his formula. At the time he told me that he was not interested in selling his company but maybe he changed his mind. I can no longer find his website on the internet and I have emailed him personally and he has not answered back yet.

Once I run out of the New Genesis polish I may try the Turtle Wax Ice product as it just may be the same product!
