Did you use it correctly? It gets everything out, water spots, tar, dead bugs, and bird crap as well.
I followed the instructions to a T even used the micro fiber rag that comes with it Maybe I will try the paste version I already have the spray detailer.
I found a bottle of Turtle wax 2001 , it works great I wonder if they have
a replacement for it now. I only have a little left.
Ice is ok as long as you have a clean surface to put it on
I never use a buffer only hand wax.

I got a little ding from likely pepples in the road kicking up, and also from tree sap little indents in the back of my car, I need to get a full detail done on my car to fix that I doubt any detailing spray will get that out. Thank goodness they are not noticeable, of course I will notice since I am alway looking at every angle of my car, lol.

How often should someone fully detail their car? Twice a year?
Well with the zaino it says you only need to fully detail your car once every six months for a DD car. If you want a show room car finish you can do it every week if you want. But once you put the zaino on all you got to do is wash and use the Z6 spray and do a quick whip down and it looks like you just waxed it.

Yeah, I am not going to get my car fully detailed until the end of the summer. So I will just keep using the detailer spray between washes.

I just bought a couple of bottles of the Z6 spray, I'll give it a shot. I assume for best results I should wash or dust the car before, right?

I used the Turtle Wax Ice polish this evening. The low light of evening and my iPhone camera doesn't quite do it justice. I can't wait to see it tomorrow in the sunlight.

I was always loyal to the Meguiars line-but switched to turtle wax ice when it came out and SWEAR by it. I love this stuff!

Do you guys know if using the product too much can be harmful to the paint? I might use it once, maybe twice a week if I get caught in a rain storm or it has a lot of dirt and tar marks.

TW Ice is all I use. Zaino definitely gives off a better shine but it takes twice as long to Zaino a car. TW Ice goes on quickly and comes off quickly.

Im sorry but thats the dumbest post ive ever read on detailing opinions. So your buddies applied the polish incorrectly and your mommy told u not to use turtle wax so it sucks ?? Thats funny i used the products correctly to my 3 year old acadia it still looks brand new using there products. But hey your mommy told you turtle wax sucks im moving on thank god for showing me the light. Please dont post opinions on products that u have personally never used u sound retarded.
