Thumbs up turtle wax ice... quick detailer...

many others have spoke highly in regard to this product... during sema i spoke with the sales rep at their booth... apparently this is one of very few quicker detailer products without silicones.

and they were kind enough to provided me with a full size bottle to try out. i'm excited to give it a whirl.

Great product and the best part is that it can be used in direct sunlight.

My experience with the ICE detailer is that it leaves an incredible shine. I tried their ICE wax equivalent and was not pleased. It did nothing to cover the swirl marks (my car is black) I have been using a combination of Meguiar's NXT wax and ICE detailer and the shine and appearance is fantastic.

With me taking better care of any car I've owned, I have a cabinet with 'this, that and some other stuff' detailing products. I like the ICE alot! I pretty much use Meguiars for everything else ... but the ICE and Meguiars combo ... it's like SRT SIX said ... Fantastic!

WOW - incredible results... and i thought the quick detailer i used in the past was awesome... the "ice" shine is unreal. the 330i is one gleaming ride.

I have to agree...I don't normally use Turtle Wax, but the ICE is a great product, especially on black cars.

If I were you, I'd return it to the store and save the $. I love using ICE spray detailer, so I purchased a bottle of the ICE wax also. I used it once, on the roof only and I hated it. It was very difficult to remove and made streaks. I don't want to sound so negative, but I just wanted to share my experience with the product.

I used it a couple of month ago and loved it. Last week my brother in law wanted to know how I keep the car so shiny. Love the product.

I agree 100% with blacklimitedcoupe, take the ICE wax back and trade it for more ICE detailer. I too had problems with streaking AND it does nothing to cover up swirl marks, in fact I think it emphasized them.

Arrow Re: turtle wax ice... quick detailer...

I actually picked up a kit from Costco a couple weeks ago that included the ICE polish, quick detailer, applicator pad and microfiber towel (the towel has alot of polyester so its not going to the see the paint of any car I touch). I though the product went on real easy and came off easy, even in my garage that I managed to get up to 50 degrees. So its something I'll use from time to time and may even make my own type of spray wax using the ICE polish and some quick detailer.

So am I seeing that some of you have tried the meguiar's quick detailer and the ice quick detailer and prefer the ice stuff?
If so, I've got to try some.

I like all of the QD's I've tried but I buy my QD in bulk from top of the line detailing, its alot cheaper that way. When you detail cars on the side like I do you tend to through QD when claying, so it makes more sense to do it this way. I've used Mequiars, Turtle Wax Ice, Clay Magic lub, Mothers, etc and they all do a nice job. I've also used Mequiars #34 Final Inspection, good stuff and it can be bought in bulk and is very reasonably priced.

I've used both and I prefer the Ice. Works great on my black car.

It seems like a good enough product but from what I've read about it doesn't last long. Which isn't good if you don't like to wax your car and/or don't have the time. Now if you do though, its a great product, wax on, wax off and once a month should do it.

The ICE Quick Detailer isn't designed for long life. It is for use to detail between washes and waxes (remove light dust with a duster first). I use it almost every day and almost never actually wash my car (being in SoCal helps).

I don't personally care for the ICE product that replaces wax.

Regarding your swirls, I don't think too many waxes will cover them up.
You will need to use a polish for that, my daughter has a black Maxima and she let it get swirled up by improper washing and car washes. I used my Porter Cable dual action orbiter with an orange Edge foam pad & Pinnacle XMT2 polish. Got all the swirls out with that, then I went over the car again with the PC and some Wolfgang Polish enhancer & a blue Edge foam pad.
For the final step, I hand applied Pinnacle liquid Souveran Carnauba wax and it looks better than new with a very deep shine.

I'm going to have to try the Turtle Wax ICE detailer.

Talking Re: turtle wax ice... quick detailer...

I works great on top of the mequiar's tech paste wax. But it does not last too long on its' own.
