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.

$3...

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.
