whats the difference between turtle wax and turtle wax ice products
 
just wondering if anyone here knows what the difference is between turtle waxes regular line of products and their "ICE" line of products the stuff in the blue bottles. cause turtle wax has their regular spray wax called wax n dry and then they have an ICE spray wax and i wanna know if theres even a difference between the two. is one more natural and one synthetic? just looking for info from users and not the companys biased answers thanks.

Crap and worse crap.

If you want to know the chemical differences, request a MSDS for each product from them. MSDS is material safety data sheet, and will include all chemicals used.

I wouldn't waste my time if it were me, because in a nutshell this is the correct answer as already posted.

Crap and worse crap.

To all the wax snobs out there---Turtle Wax Ice is pretty good short term stuff. It goes on and wipes off easy and you dont have to worry about getting it on your vinyl.

only thing I have ever used that was mildly useful is the spray syn wax that I used to use on matte stripes on my last camaro. the regular wax is hard as heck to remove, once you go to a quality product you will never want to go back!

That it's crap.

Let me ask you this... When you buy a home you have the option of protecting your $200k investment with a roof of woven palm leaves or typical housing shingles, which one would you rather have? Same goes for your $30k+ car, do you want to protect it with a $5 can of peanut butter or pay the extra $40 for something that actually works.

Bad analogy---The guys just asking how the ICE works and it works just fine. Everyone doesnt have to buy the Forum Fanboy favorite. I bought into the hype here on the favorite (No Names Please) and I used it, didnt like it and sold the remaining portion of the tin on this site.
I went back to Mothers/Meguires and in an pinch use the ICE---HORRORS
Quality Doesnt have to be expensive
You guys are victims of some Very Good advertising

No one here provided a "forum fanboy favorite", instead dismissed the ill-idea of using Turtle wax in general. The OP is welcome to research on here and find numerous reviews and tests on varying waxes and other products.

I don't know what you consider expensive, but if dropping $40 on a can of wax that will last you the duration of your vehicle's life then you may want to trade your camaro in for a Ford fiesta.

This section of the forum is dedicated to a little higher standard of cosmetic car care which Turtle wax does not fall in to.

Wax just protects the paint not the whole car. So I am just protecting a paint job. And it's crap doesn't tell me what problems you had with it.
