Default Turtle Wax ICE

Have any of u guys tried turle wax ice? I have read about it making the car shine very nicely but My main question is how well does it last and protect?

Well since it is a liquid wax I don't think it is going to last very long. I used it last night and it went on very easy/quick. I like the results a lot because even if it doesn't last as long it doesn't take near the time as traditional wax. I also used it on the mirrors and such and it made them shine nicely.

I just started waxing mine with some 40-50 year old genuine blue coral...hardest wax on earth to apply, but lasts forever...I did my 71 back in highschool, took nearly a week of evenings, but it was still glassy smooth a couple years later when it went to the junkyard. My neighbors old 65 gal was bluecoraled (a few too many times- cut thru the paint at creases) decades ago, it still beads up nicely. Stuffs a bitch to put on/get off...it does remove paint , so ya gotta go carefully. I found a few kits on ebay a couple years ago- I really wish they still made this stuff...I think the way the cleaner burnishes the paint it gives it some 'bite' for the sealer to get into, it really lasts a loooong time, and shines a mile deep.

I've just starting using Zaino on my stang, but I've always been a fan of Turtle Wax. The new Ice Wax has a lot of the same properties of the Zaino including the wax lasting for up to 6 months. I don't know how true that statement is, but the Zaino has been on my car for a month and the water still beads off of it like it did when the wax was first put on.

Well I tried it out today and I have to say I was impressed. It was MUCH easier then traditional waxing and I think it turned out very well. I didnt get the pics taken till it was getting dark though
