Turtle Wax ICE

Made the mistake of using Turtle Wax Ice.  UGH.  Streaked all to hell.  Hard to get off.  I'll never use this crap again.

Weird.

I've used it a few times and while by no means a premium product it always went on well and was super easy to apply.

I found I had to buff it like crazy. I wasn't happy with it.

The best "budget" paint polish I have used is NuFinish. Quick, cheap and easy.

I thought it was crap too.

The best off the shelf ones I've used are:

Polish: Meguiars Ultimate Polish

Wax: NXT 2.0 Tech Wax.

Both were ridiculously easy to apply and remove and had great results.

  :iagree: Tried a number of products and keep going back to NuFinish. It is my favorite. Relatively easy to apply and buff, nice shine and holds up well. Oh yeah and it is not expensive.
If you want more in life you have to make an effort.

The reason I thought I'd try the Ice was because it doesn't mark up black plastics etc.  Ah well.  Lesson learned. :)
