Turtle Wax ICE review

Hey guys. Today I decided to not be a piece of shit and get something done. So after cleaning the basement pretty good and talking to some friends I decided to go give my car a good wash/wax. I started by getting all the easy shit off myself in the self serve bay and doing the highest level automatic one (hey, why spend all afternoon scrubbing when the giant wheels do it for you in about 7 minutes?). It was sorta funny, after just the self serve bay I was like, damn almost dont need to run it through the other wash. After the auto wash I was like DAMN, I almost dont have to wax it. Well, after about two hours of buffing and polishing, I just looked at it and thought, "DAMN that shit is HOT!" My car has never had that crazy wet look before, its soo much fun cruising and seeing people look at it again. Even to the point of when I look in my drivers side mirror I get destracted with the shine off the side of the car. That was the best $15 I have ever spent on cleaning my car by far and I definately recommend it! I am going to try to find a cool spot to do a photoshoot tonight, pics soon to come!

Sweet... Which car did you wax? Waxing a white car doesn't do much IMO...

It's too bad the luster doesn't last very long, week or two and it's already faded... nothing beats the oldschool buffer imo

Re: Turtle Wax ICE review

turtlewax ice is pretty crap of a polish compared to the other stuff out there. Boostplz is right it will fade fast. Try using a bunch of a poorboy's polishes and their sealing wax. It's sweet and lasts much longer. Need to touch up places just pull out the polisher/buffer.
