Turtle Car Wax

If you long for the "old school" days of waxing your car then look no further than Turtle car wax, as this is as good as it gets when it comes to rubbing! All the nostalgia of spending the entire afternoon waxing your ride can be had with this product; including the sore shoulder the following day!

• Easy to apply
• Really should be packaged as a liquid, not as a paste
• Very difficult to remove...despite what the packaging says
• Must dry to a haze
• Very dusty
• Must be used on cool, shaded surface
• Will stain black trim
• Good "filling" and "hiding" abilities

Darren's Remarks

While this product applies very easily, it is an entirely different matter when it comes to taking off. Even though the plastic "tin" leads a person to think this is a true wax paste, it is more of a liquid. I don't mind this, as it makes application very easy; actually easier than most of the true paste waxes. But this would be expected from a liquid and this is the main reason anyone would opt for a liquid or spray wax; they are easier to apply.

The Turtle car wax has very good hiding and filling capabilities just like the other name brand waxes, but all benefits of this product are immediately lost when you have to remove the hazed up wax. Prepare yourself for much rubbing, accompanied with much pressure.

Admittedly, this was my first experience with this brand, and I see I wasn't missing much; except the sore shoulder. I really was concerned that due to so much rubbing, I was going to find I had actually put scratches into the paint, instead of just covering them up. This was not the case and I was pleased with the final result; I just wasn't pleased with the amount of time and effort to get to the final result.

If you are stuck on the brand recognition of Turtle car wax, than by all means this is the product for you. If you are looking for an easier way of producing even better results, I recommend my list of products over to the right in the third column.
