Has anyone tried "Turtle Wax ICE" polish? MIKE.

ive heard alot of good stuff about this ICE wax...
the only bad thing ive heard about this wax is that it doesnt give you an even finish, eg. some sides are shinier/better waxed then other parts of the car, so you would have to reapply

another + ive heard about ICE is that its EZ as HELL to remove after its dried on the finish, so thats always good


BTW, what does everyone use to remove the wax? a regular terry cloth or one of them microfiber cloths?

ive always used terry cloth on my other cars, which were black, and always ended up with swirls

Don't use a Terry Cloth towel unless you absolutely have to, and only use one if it is truly 100% cotton.

Micro Fiber towels rule!!!

I usually buy a pack or two every time I'm in Walmart.

You can get even better ones than those online, but I've never had a problem with the one's Walmart has in the automotive section.

If you get a chance, check out http://www.autopia-carcare.com/. There is a lot of good detailing information there.


BTW: I use ZAINO. A little pricey, and a little time consuming, but well worth it.

I used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It works good and it is easy to wipe off. I loved it.

Just over a week ago I gave our HHR a waxing with Collinite 476S Doublecoat and wanted to see how it behaved after a week of driving then a wash. Well this stuff is terrific, not a real chore to put on and it stood up to the Meguires car wash extremely well and bugs and crap just disappeared. Looks just like I finished waxing it. This stuff is supposed to be good for a year but man if it lasts 6 months I'l be very pleased...
