The problem with your assertions is, it doesn't align with my experience.

I used the gold class, and I've used the turtle wax, and I find the turtle wax superior.

You might disagree, but you make it sound as if any challenge to your opinion is a challenge to your integrity, and since I doubt your opinion, I find myself forced by your behavior to doubt your integrity.

So tell me what the turtle wax in your eyes makes it better. Problem with Turtle wax is that majority of them will dust badly buffing off and their durability is very very low.

With the turtle wax ice, there is no dust I've ever seen. I can't speak to durability because I reapply the wax frequently, probably every 4 weeks.

As for what I consider as the superior quality of turtle wax ice, I find the Kona Blue metallic particles to show more vibrantly with the turtle wax. Almost like the turtle wax is more transparent, a crystal overlay rather than a softening overlay. Then there is the property of the turtle wax that allows it to be applied directly over the entire car. Not only can I touch the black trim without it turning white, I can actually apply the wax to the black trim and it takes on an attractive satin sheen.

You call it crap, but I consider it a superior finish compared to the gold class, and I'm someone who is willing to do more to get more. If the turtle wax ice was harder to apply than the gold class, I'd still consider it superior, but it's actually easier to apply.

I'm 56 years old. I have several cars, and before I drive my 5.0 convertible, I detail it. It doesn't leave it's stall without looking sharp. I care about how it looks. I use turtle wax ice, and I'd consider using other products to try them out, but I'm not going to be putting Meguiar's Gold Class liquid wax on my Mustang again, as long as I can find Turle Wax ICE.

well you just said it there Gold class liquid. I was not referring to the liquid at all I was talking about the paste wax. Well you can continue to use what you like. I am just saying turtle wax is not that good of a product to use.
