Turtle Wax Ice... Anyone tried?

[sk8runeg]

I was recently at the local autozone and saw this stuff called Turtle Wax ICE. It was like $19 for a bottle and the applicator. I'm wondering if anyone has used this stuff yet as it seems pretty new, and did it work well?

Thanks

I have not tried Turtle wax Ice, but I've had good results with the Platinum.
It is very rich looking and cost around $9.00.

I detail cars for a living. I personally dont like to use anything from turtle wax, just because of the fact i have a black car. If i were you i would go to a local detail shop to see what they are using and try to have them get you some. I use this grape smelling wax after i buff my ride and let me tell you for something that doesnt have a name brand it works great. Also i sometimes use a really expensive wax called COLLINITE. Just because it says turtle wax or mothers or meguires doent mean its the best.

Any wax can look great. Its the durablility and consistancy that you're paying for. I used regular old ColorCure by Turtle Wax on my black car and take a look. The downfall is that it doesnt last for very long at all.

turtle wax platinum is good, thats what i bought so i'll be using it for a while, i wax my car prob once a month, and wash it twice a week and it holds pretty well

I tried the turtle wax ice last week and is great. Is really not a wax or a polish, more like a UV paint protectant and reminds me of the stuff you spray on tires to get them to shine. You wipe it on the car, let it sit about 10 minutes, use a microfiber cloth to remove it, shines up all plastic parts too, even windows. Turtle wax says not to use it on the front window, since the wipers could get smears if you do. Requires no hard buffing and goes on like putting armour all on the car, then wipes off. I've never seen my cars look this good. Tried it on my silver 02 Z28 and wifes Black pearl car and it looks great on both. Is all I am going to use from now on. Site says you can wax your car with regular wax, then after you wash the car, you can apply the ICE. Once you try it, you will never want to wax a car again.

this stuff is incredible, works on everything, even tires....we'll see how it holds up... the black trim looks sweet, try and you'll love the ease of use and the awesome results..

[Twotone TA]

that stuff works awesome, used it this past weekend loved it

[juiced00ss]

hey rob just so happens i used it too. Didnt i tell you about it? lol

[4get gto]

Tires ?????
What made you think to use on tires ?

[mpdcnva]

the last thing i did was go around all the cracks and crevices. wiped the weather stripping, and was amazed at the results. that gheto azz armour all and the other kind of products always leaves little jerry curl explosions behind the wheels no matter how much i wipe it off. this stuff doesn't do that, the applicator is always black by the end and i always throw it away, so why not...jet matte black tires are the result....:love:

[TheKitchenSink]

Well this thread convinced me to give it a try. Seems like it did a good job, I was impressed with it. Simple to use, couldnt ask for much more. Heres a picture of what the finished product looks like.

Ice works great- easy to use and no residue.

[Bose2683]

i wax my car everyday with rain-x spray wax and 3 times a week with goldclass and goldclass is the best i havent used ice but the gold brings out colors on my blue T.A. that no other wax ever has

[Fedge]

I tried the Ice - I guess it's the detail spray - and it was great, 1 pump, wipe, no streaks, great shine...I like it a lot. I like it a lot more than the pink shit I had and the Meguier's I used to use...a little Invisible Glass on the windows (which i also recommend) and my whole car was done in about 20 minutes :D

[rotwiler]

I have used the ICE now for a month and still like it, water beads off really nice still and has rained here for about 2 straight weeks. Car is much easier to keep clean now and made the plastic trim look new again. I tried the spray ICE once and it did what it is supposed to do, but I like the non spray stuff the best. I kinda see no reason to use the spray stuff since the regular stuff is so easy. I even did some detailing under the hood with it and my bilstein shocks lol

[baker5209]

Tried it today was easy to use will see if it holds up to Mich weather or not. Worked great on my black parts.:notworthy:

[Scorch]

I'm going to try this out too. Sounds good. :thumbup:

[illcul8troffcr]

fellas we should see about getting a discount for this site ... this is free advertisement for turtle wax we need to see about getting a discount from them... we need a hookup

[Wesman]

Sounds like good stuff. Thats a first from Turtle Wax :p

Is there 2 different kinds of "ICE"?? I've only seen it in the detailing spray, does it come in liquid/paste wax form as well??

I may have to pick some up and try it :)

[rotwiler]

Yes, there is 2 different kinds.. The spray is for in between the main stuff. It is liquid and comes with a applicator and micro fiber towel.

I just got the liquid "ICE" and it shines as well as anything i have used on my black SS. I never used anything as easy to apply and remove,good stuff IMO.:yup:

[superman4evr]

I have been using this stuff called Liquid Lustre.
I bought it at the Grand Rapids Auto show 2 years ago. I was immediatly
hooked. I put this stuff on with a foam applicator and wipe it off right away
with microfiber. In my opinion, its the best I have ever used. I've used it on my Wifes white suv, my black gtp, and now my red T/A. Everyone I talk to compliments me on how shiney the cars are. I experiment from time to time, with other brands. I'm sure theres a dozen great waxes but, Liquid Lustre will always be on my garage shelf!

[Wesman]

I've been using Meguires NXT Tech Wax on my car, in fact I just did the T/A today and it came out awesome.

Anyone have any personal experience comparing Meguires NXT to Turtle Wax ICE??

[caseyWS6]

so you can use it on the interior also?

Which one did you use the spray or regular stuff. I am going to go buy it and try it this weekend. I am wondering if you had any problems with it, I have a white z and wonder if there is anything I should watch for. :dunno:

[baker5209]

I have the regular. used it 5 times and no problems. It works great on your black plastic parts. It seem like baby oil on your hands but i wait and do the whole car before i start wiping it off. Rick::notworthy:

Do you have to wax before, or use that as your wax? I read up in one of the threads they washed and waxed then :thinkin: use the ice.

[baker5209]

Its my wax. seem to bead up good like a wax and the water runs off good. :dunno:
