Turtle wax "Ice"

Maybe you've already used this product, but I just tried it today on my 96 3.5 LE and it covered, or maybe it blended, the bird shit etching and the sand blasting defects I have on this 10/yo paint! It was easy to apply, but different to buff, hard to explain, anyway so far its looks pretty damn shiney! I'll let ya know how long it lasts!....Here's a pic or two!

I heard this wax comes off with rain. Its just something to apply between washes for a quick shine.

I really like the fact that theres no white residue! You don't have to worry about getting polish on the black body parts or in the nuks and grannys! We'll see how long it lasts!!

yeah, tell us how it works. I used to use Turtle Wax (the one in the green bottle). It was very easy to apply and buff but with convenience comes a price. I noticed it doesn't last as long (say a month tops?). I'm now experimenting with Mother's paste wax. It's harder to buff (it can leave wax spots so needs more elbow grease to get the wax to buff out nicely) but it looks pretty good and lasts pretty long (my last wax job was on Dec 22 and water still beads off. Just waxed it on Sunday)

Well, Sunday and Monday we recieved much needed rain, (one and three quarters inches).
The TW Ice beaded well, but differently! When driving the beads didn't roll with the wind, they stayed in place and just jiggled! I've never used waxes or polishes that had beads that did that... Still real shiney!

NXT, even tho I like the stuff alot, would have washed off after the same amount of rain.

More rain is coming in the next few days maybe, Tstorms too..so I'll update later! So far so good!

I just bought some from target while I was picking up a mother Day gift. I like the fact that there will be no white crap all over my truck when im done. I hope it lasts at least 1 1/2 months. I park under a tree and home and at work there is no avoiding the darn trees here.
