Anyone use this new "residue free" wax? Just curious about the results. Claims can be used on hot surfaces in direct sunlight, no residue on plastic etc. etc. Priced about the same as the Meguiar's NXT but comes with a microfiber cloth too.

Thanks man,

I searched "Turtle Wax Ice" and didn't see that. It's only one person though! You use it yet? I currently use NXT on my BB. What a P.I.T.A. color to keep shiny!!!

 

Have used it with great results. Yes, can be applied in sunlight and wipes off easily with little effort and no residue.

I believe it is on sale at Auto Zone for about $15.

 

It was rated quite good and really works like it says by users in www.autopia.org

 

I use the quick detailer and like it alot, doesn't streak in the sun.

 

I've used Turtle Wax Ice and I've found that it covers swirl marks very well. However, I can never get it to work unless I let it dry for 45 minutes to an hour. Any less time and it's like pushing oily liquid around your car. Just doesn't seem to dry fast for me (yes, I shake the bottle). I do like the no residue and can go over plastic features.

 

Exactly The instructions (yes I admit, I read the bottle), say to let it dry for like 10-15 minutes. Well, that's the longest 10-15 minutes I have waited for.

I found even after an hour, the parts of my car in the shade where the I.C.E. was on, was still "oily".

Anyways.....it DOES work as advertised and I absolutely love the results

can't wait to try it! i'll go get it this weekend

 

bought a bottle today, going to use it later this week ( when it stops raining). I will try to post some before/after Picture if I can :D

 

First batch absolutely beautiful
Second application, after car wash - a little blotchy still clear but some area looked liked they needed to be buffed more

 

Thanks for all the replies and opinions!

I tried it this last weekend.

Conditions:

80 + degrees on a BB car.

Direct sun

Right after washed car and waxed with Armor All wax as you dry Gel. (great stuff for in between heavy waxing)


Results:

Super Easy to apply.

Works just like advertised. Sun does not bother it at all!

Does require a little more time to set up than standard waxes.

Polymer formula does a great job filling in small scratches.

Went right over the plastics on the car with no messy residue.

Fantastic Shine!

Opinion:

Worth every penny. Bought mine on sale at Kmart $13.00

Long lasting. A lil goes a LONG way. Much better than standard Carnubas.

Saves a ton of time.

Does require a bit more time to set but if you follow the directions which say to do the WHOLE car first then go back and buff after hazing its not too bad.

Makes the paint glassy smooth.

Great product!

 

I wonder if this is similar compound to the Zaino products. I'll have to try it when my Zaino runs out.

 

If its that great .... Im GOING TO GRAB MY BOTTLE TOMORROW !

 

HELL! that's it im just guna go to autozone tonite

 

hmmm, im very religious whe it comes to my tech wax, maybe i might give this a shot...hmmm

 

After I tried it this is the only wax I will use anymore...

i went to target and saw the bottle. Man that wax is so thin! almost liquidy! haha

 

i bought it, but will have to wait to try it out on friday

 

I tired it this last weekend. Although you won't get the results of something like zaino, it does work well and super easy to apply... especially everything you can't apply normal wax too... it even shined up the top of my windshield wipers and plastic base under the windshield!

 

interesting! i think i might be going to pep boys after work today

 

yup, instructions says can be applied to "all exterior surfaces of your car including rubber moldings, plastic trim, door handles and headlight and taillight lenses with no white residue left behind." it sounds pretty kool. doesn't smell as good as nxt though.

 

I'll have to check that product out, sounds like good stuff!....anyone got pics?

 

pix arent gonna do it justice, i can take a picture of my car without wax and it will still look the same with a coat of wax on..this is a try at your own basis.

 

got some today, will have shots tonight hopefully.
