Turtle Wax - ICE Liquid Polish. Excellent synthetic liquid polish.

(Removal Hint: Make sure you use microfiber towels to remove the polish. Buy the microfiber towels at Walmart)

Meguire's NXT is really easy to get off...I used that before I switched to Zaino.

will69camaro · 02-03-2010, 02:58 PM

S100. Can get it from the local Harley Dealership. We've been using it for years.

scythezo6 · 02-03-2010, 06:02 PM

The Meguiar's Gold class wax comes off easy.

cuspid · 02-03-2010, 06:47 PM

I have tried them all. I prefer Nu finish a cleaner wax, comes off easy. It was rated #1 a few years ago in consumer reports.

shad2009 · 02-03-2010, 09:26 PM

Or like others have said, NXT tech wax, which is a sealant.

NXT has some fillers in it to mask light swirls(suposedly)

didn't know they make a sealant, thought Meguires is all wax products

I have a few favorites.

Meguiars Gold Class - easy on and off, but not very deep looking
Meguiars #26 - Easy on extremely hard off, pretty deep
Meguiars cleaner wax is surprisingly slick, the slickest out of the three, but not near the depth or 26. you can't go wrong with 26, I still have great uniform beads of water 5 washes and a month later

I think the term "wax " is used pretty loosely with product manufactures.
It says here http://www.autogeek.net/mg12711.html that it's a Synthetic-polymar =sealant...Sal Zaino calls everything pollishes, why?..I dont know

..I geuss advertising.

I clay Barred mine the week after I got her. then layed a lcoat of Meguir's Carnauba on and she is as smooth as as babies behind. Couldn't believe the difference the clay bar alone made. Probably won't last as long as the NXT but it is a Carnauba Wax not a Sealer wax

xshortd · 02-06-2010, 09:53 AM

im wondering how you guys apply your wax? by hand or by machine, im planning on buying the meguirs or mothers products but i dont want to use a machine, can i use it by hand?

Fishdadddy · 02-06-2010, 11:03 AM

By Hand Only for this car! At least for me since it's a third vehicle with minimal use.

I just test Meguiars vs. Turtle Wax Ice and NXT Gen 2 beats it by a country mile. I pulled my car cout of the garage to check the shine and any missed spots and I was nearly blinded by the reflectivity. The ice on the other hand looks greasy no matter how much I buff...

I have the vinyl stripes.... I read somewhere that the Turtle Wax Ice is safe to apply over them. Is this true? And is this also the case with with the NXT Gen?
