Darren's Comments

This product is kind of a novelty when it comes to traditional waxes. It is even a novelty when just comparing to other liquid or spray waxes due to it being completely clear.

And for some reason I find this appealing; don't know why exactly. Perhaps it is based on the power of suggestion; meaning, if you are considering waxing your car, it has been forever the worry of getting wax in, or on places it shouldn't.

When thinking of this wax, the clearness of it seems somehow appropriate, as the impression is that it will not be doing any staining of black trim. Unfortunately, I found this product hard to work with in my car detailing efforts.

It certainly goes on easily due to its very liquid nature. In fact, it is so runny, you will no doubt apply too much at first as I did. And good thing it doesn't stain black trim, as this Ice Turtle Wax wants to flow everywhere.

The packaging states that it is meant to dry for 3-5 minutes before removal. I had difficulty determining when this actually took place, as after more than five minutes in the direct sunlight, it never appeared to "dry", or haze up at all. I ended up wiping it off, or into the paint depending on your perspective, after giving up completely for it to dry to some form of haze for removal.

I was able to get good results as the finished result, but it required way too much effort, and I doubt most people would have the patience, or know how, as I also had to use a quick detailer to completely remove the streaking effect. I would not find this product acceptable on any kind of darker colored car, or for use in my auto detailing business as it would simply take too much effort to get satisfactory results.
