Turtle wax ICE wax and polish.

Has anyone used it? Does it work? I normally use Maguire's wax and polish.

Anyone use Mothers line of products? Are they any good?

I have used the Turtle Wax Ice and polish, along with the car shampoo, and liquid clay bar. It works really well and seems to protect for awhile. The nice thing about it is that it doesn't leave any white residue on black trim. It is easy to apply and easy to remove. I just purchased some Wolfgang Products with a porter cable from Auto Geeks, but I haven't had a chance to use them so I can't give any comparison. Hope this helps.

i remember using ice products when i first started driving, then i realized there are way better products out there. try Chemical guys or wolfgang products, results work better and last longer. Don't get me wrong the ICE products do work its just, why settle for less ya kno?

couldn't agree more, i dislike the liquid claybar, imho it doesn't do nearly as good of a job as a CG claybar or a swissvax yellow claybar. granted you don't need lube but i think a real claybar is a much better performing product than any of the ice products. I do not mind the quick detailer but i think it needs more lubricity. Overall they're not bad but you could do much better for the $

ICE works well for a 1 shot deal. However, the multiple stage Mothers really shines! Once you use Mothers... you don't go back. Mothers FTW

i bought turtle's liquid ice a while ago, which comes with an applicator and a cloth. It gives a nice showroom glossy look; very clean and easy to do.

Turtle Wax Ice products are junk.

Go over to Detailed Image and buy quality products. The ICE products have very little durability.

Also to get your car looking it's best you need to properly clean, remove all contaminants and polish it.
