Ice Wax

[Bolt99SVT]

Hey all,

I wanted to see what everybody's opinions or thoughts were about the Ice Wax from Turtle Wax?

I have used the Paste-style wax on 2 or 3 cars now, and I'm debating if I really like it... I love how it doesn't leave any white clumps or residue, and I love that it actually brightens plastic trim.

But I'm having a problem with it leaving streaks... I will get done certain areas and they will look good, but in different angles I can see streaks.
It almost seems to work better outdoors in the sunlight (which is hard to believe because I'm not use to waxing outside), but I still have a problem with streaking sometimes... Its kind of like hit and miss...

My brother has the Liquid-style wax, and it does the same thing. I've seen it on his car, and he said it also seemed to be not as bad when waxing outdoors...

So what are you guys' experiences and opinions?? :shrug:

Thanks,
Frank

I love it....my nephew bought me some and said it worked great on his M3. So i tried it. It went on very easy and made my Shelby look great.... no complaints here.

its probably a sealer with alot of filler in it, and you are putting to much on, causing the streaks.

ive never liked turtle wax's products, they seem a little chessy to me. More then likely it will leave streaks depending on the outdoor conditions. Ive always had the paste work better indoors, and the liquid ice polish work great in the sun.

it might be the humidity...alot of wax's react different, thats why i only use one wax on all my cars, and will never change.

goes on in sunlight, humidity, heat, cold, you name it, stuffs amazing, but its a secret

I actually detail for a living, and agree that the Eagle One Wax and Turtle Wax is not that great. If you want something decent with out spending $150-200 for one wax like I do, look into Meguiars Gold Class or any of the NXT 2.0 products. All can be found at Autozones or Advance and will do just fine for what you want.

Also the streaks sometime depend on the type of towel you are removing it with.

Try some Dodo Juice products. If you think that over the counter stuff is nice, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Tell Dan that Matt with the mystic cobra sent you, you might get a discount too lol.

Biggest waste of money ever. The Dodo Juice waxes are not that great. Even more so for $175 for the medium container. Nothing but a very hard wax thats tuff on and tuff off.

Used some of the supernatural sample I got for $40 :cuss: on two cars and was not impressed. If you want to spend upwards of $200 for some waxes looking into Fuzion or for the low $100's some Nattys Red or Blue!

Sample pot is $27, you got screwed. Medium container is $109. It isn't tuff on and def not tuff off. You must be a pussy. And you say you detail for a living? Must be starving.

And if you spent "low $100s" on Natty's Blue I have some oceanfront property here in Kentucky you need to invest in.

OP...good luck with the wax, most every non OTC product is pretty darn good.

Where you referring to regular Dodo Juice? or Supernatural? Also you would be the ONLY and I mean ONLY person to say that the Dodo Waxes arent hard waxes. Also I posted the wrong price 32oz tubs go for $50. Dont know why I thought of low $100's.

Also I am far from starving!

Yes sorry I meant SN and where did I say they weren't hard waxes? They make both but I said was the ones I had used were easy cheesy to apply and remove. My Natty's Blue was like $20.

Well seeing as how you resorted to a childish reply, when someone doesnt agree with your wax. I originally posted that its a hard wax thats tuff on and tuff off. Your reply never mentioned for or against me saying it was a hard wax. You just stated that it was easy on easy off for you!

Also the small container of nattys blue is only $20-25. I dont buy the small containers. I buy there large tubs that go for around $50.

I used NXT 2.0 on my black cobra and black mazda 3, and they both came out looking very nice. Ill post a pic when I get a chance. I also clayed the front half of the cobra before hand.

I was just joking with you, dont get your panties in a wad! You must have missed that comment when you first replied. I could care less about whether you agree with my wax, man that's petty for the both of us. What I didnt care for was your initial response that it was crap. That simply was not necessary. Plus it wasn't true. If poking fun at someone is going to get under your skin, this is not the website for you.

+1 I heard that stuff blows. try autogeek.com or detailedimage.com theres so much info there.

 

[200310thCobra]

The Ice stuff is great. I use it on the car and all the black plastic trim. The only downside is that is doesn't last too long but its a great polish and cleans the paint tremendously!! So I also use Meguiars Tech over the top. Looks like a mirror on a black car!

+100000000000000000000 on the JUNK comment

use that liquid "wax" as a glaze if you want.

its not a wax by any means and will not protect your paint like a real quality wax.

if you aren't trying to spend alot of money try Poor Boys Natty's Blue, its an excellent wax with a nice mix of protection and shine. Im sure there are plenty of people on this site that will agree

this.

and Natty's Blue or Red is cheap, what is it, like $20 for a container?

ive detailed 7 cars with a single tub and i still have half of it left. And it holds up excellent, though i usually reapply every other wash.
