it's not a wax!!!
that might be why you say it's one of the worst waxes you can buy.

Then what is it? It's labeled a synthetic polish. It's not a polish- a polish is an abrasive to remove clear to level the finish. That's not what ICE is. The people at Turtle Wax don't even know enough to label their products correctly, this has been discussed numerous times by Dylan, Junkman, myself, and plenty of others.

You can call it a sealant if you still want my "wax" term to be wrong, but it amounts to the same thing. It's a last-step product. A crappy one.

Edit: In fact, Dylan addresses this EXACT thing a few posts up in this very thread. Lol...some people.

I can confirm the Ice... it's what I use on my Jeep fenders. Briliant black everytime!

If you have the time and find it therapeutic by all means spend as much time pampering your baby as you need. For me, I've found what works for my available time and life constraints.

PS - Still Permagrining after 6 months!

If you're pressed for time, Magwiar's Quick Detailer and Quick Wax are other wonder drugs!

i wouldn't worry too much about what other people are putting on their ss finish unless i had one.

I used Turtle Ice for the first few months of my cars life. Thought it worked pretty well. Ordered Adams and like it better. Adams waxes are very easy to apply and remove. Its the prep of clay and polish that takes time.
