Turtle Wax ICE

[Robby9]

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

Fouberglass or metal? Decals?

Where did you get this info?

Their website doesn't say anything about not using ice on fiberglass.

It's not on their web site, but when it came out I was an early adopter, as we're many on the Class B forum. Several, including me, had the streaking problem on the gel coated tops. The Internet also had complaints of streaking. The ICE web site does say not to use it if any oxidation is present.

One of the more interestings about the "What wax to use" discussions is that for the most part all wax makers use the same wax. same one the store uses on their apples I might add (Think about this the next time you bite into that nice shiny CAR WAXED Apple).

Have used ICE.. Liked the result. Also Turtle Wax Zip Wax (Spray on foam).

Were you using the spray, liquid or the paste? Maybe you were using the detailer?

I had a mobile service detail my camper. They used a liquid product called Liquid Glass and said in the future I should use liquid Turtle Wax ICE then I could follow up periodically with the Turtle Wax detail spray because it is easier to put on. They said they use both products in their detail shop. I tried the liquid Turtle Wax ICE and had very poor results. For detail spray I use Meguairs on my fiberglass boat and between waxes on my vehicles. I'v had much better results with it than the Turtle Wax product.

Agree. The detailer will shine but not last long. The wax has been long lasting in my experience.

I have tried ice on both my truck and rig, it does not last. Use the premium Meguiars RV/ boat wax. ICE contains petroleum distillates which are a big no no for vinyl graphics so if you do use it keep it off the graphics.

I have used NuFinish exclusively for many years on my Travel Supreme and now on my Cameo with GREAT RESULTS. Cheap and most importantly, EASY ON AND EASY OFF//////No ELBOW GREASE NEEDED.............I use it on all the trucks and cars as well//////Never disappointed.:W

I believe Ice liquid is not recommended for fiberglass gel-coat, it causes it to streak. Use Ice paste on fiberglass, also the paste is more durable, and lasts longer than the liquid.
I use the paste on the painted parts, and the liquid on the black plastic.

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.
