Ice Wax

• No white residue
• Safe for most exterior materials
• Can be used in direct sunlight

If you subscribe to the notion that longevity is king, then you needn't look any further than Turtle Wax brand products. This company has been around longer than I have been around as a person. The Ice Wax is a newer addition to their line up of products though.

Sure the packaging looks neat, and there seems to be something appealing with the fact that the product itself is completely clear. I am not sure if this is the power of suggestion at work or not. I think there are a lot of guys like myself, who have been around so long that the idea of a product being completely clear is appealing; since we are so familiar with the negatives of traditional waxes like staining, dusting, etc.

Ice Turtle Wax is certainly easy to apply; too easy in fact. Because this product is like thickened water, you will likely be getting it on, and in places you would normally prefer to stay away from.

The instructions instruct to allow some drying time; 3-5 minutes. I used this Ice Wax in the direct sun as this was also a claim made by the manufacturer. I never really could figure out if it had truly dried or not; even after more than 5 minutes on rather warm black paint.

One of the draw backs to this product is its inability to remove even the faintest of water spots, or water marks. The kind of water marks that are normal after wiping or washing your car. Of course this is only on black or very dark colored cars, but the fact is, they are still there even though they will be less visible the lighter your car is.

Using the Turtle Wax Ice would require me to wipe down my paint to a flawless state before I apply it; generally, I am looking to decrease my work load, not increase it.

It is also labeled as a polish; as apposed to a wax or sealer. This is yet another example of how car care companies continually confuse us my commingling subjects and terms. Polishes, or polishing should be reserved to a product that actually has some form of true polishing features; either through chemicals or abrasives.

Using Ice Wax in my own auto detailing business would be completely unacceptable. Perhaps if you own a light colored car where visual results are less critical, and you like the way this product flows then maybe you will have found yourself a hit; doubtful though.
