Anyone uses Turtle Wax - Ice?

Ive been washing my car using Turtle Wax - Ice Car wash and just started using the Liquid Polish, but ive been reading the forums and i only see people using... Zaino, Mothers, Meguairs, etc...I was wondering if anyone uses these products? or if it is good or not.

Also...

"Ice Liquid Polish
Turtle Wax® ICE™ is a clear wax formulated with completely new technology that blends silicone and hydrocarbon polymers to provide extraordinary shine and durability. "

Does that mean that the liquid polish is also a wax?

The liquid polish is just for a quick detail. It won't protect or stay like a good, proper waxing. I purchased some with a jelly blade, but I haven't had the need to use it yet. Your car should already be clean if you are going to use it.

Out of all the turtle wax products, the ICE line is definitely the most advanced and best available from them. However, I still feel Zaino and or Meguairs to be two of the top performing brands out there. I have heard good and bad about the ICE liquid clay bar. Some say it works awesome, some say its more of a cover up.

I think most people on here (or at least the posts I've seen) tend not to be a fan of it.

I haven't used the wax but I have used the quick detailer and I didn't like it at all. My Meguiars quick detailer was ten times better than the turtle wax detailer. This product left kind of a white film when I used it.

I dont like it. I used the mist and shine on my car and it defs didnt bring out the shine like i hoped. i now use Meguires polymore spray mist and shine to just get loose dirt and bugs off my car cause i dont ever wash it. As far as wax i use Malco flash wax and it brings out a awesome shine and is really easy to use.

I have used the Ice products and they are fine for something quick, but for the best shine I have had I use the Meguiars gold class paste.

I absolutely hate waxing my car, so the ICE is the perfect product for someone like me. Turtle wax actually make a wax that u spray on after u r done rinsing the car then u just towel dry as usual, even easier

Well.... a lot of mix reviews- more on the bad side... but its too late now i already got the ICE car Wash and Liquid polish...
and i take it that the liquid polish doesnt act as a wax too ... darn!

Im new to this waxing / polishing thing, how long does the liquid waxing part take?
If i get the Meguiars liquid NXT wax... can i rub it everwhere and not worry about the white residue that will be left on the trims / plastics?

i think ill copy what you do for now until the ICE melts away.
Do you do the clay bar before the wax?
