Turtle Wax ICE

So maybe the issue is ICE does not last long? Don't know, never tried it, maybe it just gives a good shine with very little effort.

I have always disliked Turtle products, because of the difficulty of removing them once they're "set", until this one came off the chemist's bench. I've relied on Zymol, but have happily moved on to Ice! Not having a whiteish residue is fantastic, as the primary use is on a custom Road King Harley. As any clean freak will tell you, it makes life easy! That said, our choice for all our other vehicles is Nu-Finish, as a result of Consumer Reports' extensive testing of everything that's out there and it's top rating.

Have not used it yet but plan too.

I will add that if you get the white stains on black plastic from other wax, peanut butter will take them off. Put a little on your fingers and rub, then wash well.
Any Jeep Wrangler owner knows what I'm talking about with the stains on the fenders.
I use ICE on our Wrangler to avoid the stains.

I've read good stuff about ICE but never tried it. A lot of folks over at the Tundra forum use it and really like it. I use Nu Finish most of the time as it's economical and seems to work fine and hold up a long time. Anything from Mcguires is good too, I used a lot of their products.

I don't believe it is a wax. It is a polymer coating much the same as Nu-Finish and Rejex. It is also very much the same as the overpriced "Lifetime" paint sealant that you pay hundreds for on a new car or trailer. Even though it is touted as a lifetime coating it needs to be "checked" and re-applied every year...Lifetime???..it should work as good as any of the polymer coatings. I have had very good luck with Rejex as well as the less expensive Nu-Finish..

Anybody using turtle wax ice on their rigs? It looks like a promising and easy to apply wax.

Fouberglass or metal? Decals?

I would reccomend Turtle Wax Ice on your rig. I don't use it on mine because I use http://www.corrosionx.com/rejex.html. Last time I reccomended it, no one responded so I just continue on my on. It is very easy to apply and last along time but so does Turtle Wax Ice, so I reccomend Turtle Wax Ice.

You have gained the necessary wisdom to survive in market driven society.

The manufacturer's website indicates it should work well on the vinyl graphics as well as the gelcoat sides. I'd love that since I wasn't excited about using different products on the graphics.

Of course, I've lived long enough to not believe everything a manufacturer claims.
