turtle wax "ice" wax
turtle wax "ice" wax i waxed my car saturday after like 6 months of puting it off, i bought this wax becuse i heard about it and i was curious. man this stuff is freaking great! its a oily liquid so it can get a bit messy working with it but its super easy to apply and fairly easy to buff out. well it can get pretty hard buffing that stuff out because its so oily but the end result was badass. i used meguirs X and gold class last time i waxed my car and i didnt like how it looked, i still had a lot of swirl marks and my paint didnt look that great, but with this ice wax all those swirl marks are pretty much gone and my paint looks better than when i first got my car so just a heads up if yall wanna try a new wax....
Sorry to tell you, but the swirls are still there, just covered up by the wax (BTW pledge funiture polish gives an excellent shine due to all the oil in it)
The only way to get rid of swirls is to use an abrasive compound to buff them out, the rest of the so called swirl removers are nothing more than cover ups, with a high oil content to temporarily fill the surface imperfections
In the end, if you're happy with it

Somethings have to be covererd up. Not everything will always come out depending on how the paint has been treated. I think I might try this on my truck... it doesn't get the best care at times

I just tried it on my car too, looks great and took me maybe 20 minutes total to do the entire car. Bottle says it is a polish, has some type of silicone and polymers in it. I have a silver car and came off easy and didn't leave any residue. It also says the more layers you put on the better the shine gets, I only put 1 quick layer on and wiped off a few minutes later. Works on the plastic parts too.. make sure you don't have water spots or you will still see them a little. Here is a picture I took after I put it on, will look better with a few more layers. It isn't a replacement for a all out wax job, but is perfect for me.

I used some Turtle Wax high gloss wax a long time back, forgot the real name. It was really shiny, the only problem is was pretty damn oily and no matter how much I buffed all I was getting was oily swirls/smears. The funny thing is it rained on the car a day later and rinsed the excess oil off and the car was shiny as a damn diamond.

I will have to get pics up after spending close to 3 days working on taking swirls out and waxing a buddies car. We used meguirs cut cleaner, 2 applications of meguires X scratch remover, 2 coats of the newest turtle wax and 1 coat of the turtle ice polish. Car looks amazing and feels like glass.

Wow that is looking awsome. I might have to give this a try on saturday. I will use the meg cleaner wax then this turtle ice wax.(is it a was or polish?) If it is a polish what do you suggest to use as a wax?

It's alot easier to apply a polish and get good results with a buffer. Polishing by hand takes forever and can't achieve what a machine can. As for wax, most people just apply by hand but you can use a buffer if you want.
