So, I gave TW Ice a try this morning...the polish works great, easy on, easy off, with no streaks!

I think the key is that the car surface must be "Cool". The TW Ice detail spray is a no go, very streaky, I will stick with Meguiar's detail spray for in between times. Thanks fellow motor heads for the good advice. I am sure Zaino is the best, but I want to drive it, not rub on it all the time!!!

3M bought Meguiars last year.

Turtle Was ICE is a great product, I still like Zaino for my toys, but you can't beat ICE Detail Spray for ease and durability. I use it on everything except my GTO.

So TW Ice wax is a spray on wax, right? I've been looking for a good wax that's easy to apply.

Thye do have a spray product but the one we are talking about here is a clear liquid that comes with an applicator.

It's more of a in between waxing detailer polish spray. You can use it between washed to get any dirt marks or water spots off the car.

I used the Turtle Wax ICE today...works like a dream! AND I have a black car. Didn't take that much time or effort, and it looks great! I got the meguiar's tire spray stuff, and that is nice too!

I went out and bought some the other day and used it on my trade in and it looked good for a day then the next morning the whole car was hazy so I wiped it down again and today I looked again and the hood is still hazy in spots.

Maybe you're using too much? These new products are best used sparingly...

Haven't tried TW Ice yet but am thinking about it. Maguires Final Inspection is the nicest detailer I have used and will probably continue to do so. Might try thw TW on my old pickup as an experiment before trying on anything else.

I followed the directions and used a thin layer on and let is sit for 5 min then buffed off. I've never seen wax do this. I just wiped off the hood off again, don't get me wrong it still shines really good but I just can't see doing all these extra steps

What?? What extra steps?

I used it today, the whole Ice system, works awesome, even the interior cleaner is great for my needs. Wouldn't recommend the window cleaner though,very greasy, not like a window cleaner ought to be.

Ya, I'm not getting the extra steps.........cause there isnt any? Anyway.

I'm glad most of you are stoked on this stuff........it’s amazing. The only probs I've really noticed is people with older cars or dark colors. It rained like a mofo yesterday and hours later when the streets were dry and everyone else’s car was......I had puddles of beads all over my Camaro.

The only real difference between regular wax and Ice I’ve noticed is if you threw a cloth/rag on the paint it wouldn’t side as fast as a regular wax job - but the lack of streaks and ease of use make it way better than regular wax.

Applied 3 times already (30 mins. each application) and I’m sold.
