| Re: turtle wax ice - anybody used it?
well if you t-cut a car you remove paint/ clearcoat in varying degrees along with any form of wax/sealent aka an LSP thats where you went wrong there is you t-cutted the car and left it like that you should have applied an LSP (last step product) to protect the fresh paint you exposed..... also t-cut has a lot of bite so you dont want to use it too often you better with a polish (which still has a bit of a cutting action but nowhere near that of T-Cut the ICE is a all in one wonder type product http://www.fiatforum.com/car-care/14...e-wax-ice.html http://www.fiatforum.com/car-care/13...ml#post1515544 I honestly cant see how they can call it a polish as its non abrasive... it looks fine to be used on well looked after paintwork but if its been neglected it will need something else with a bit of bite to clean the paint first.. something like Autoglym's super resin polish dodo lime lite or Meguires paint cleaner/polish http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/produc...roducts_id=119 http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/produc...roducts_id=164 http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/produc...roducts_id=165 http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/produc...roducts_id=439 if the paint is in bad nick or has lots of tree sap stuck to it you could give it a good Claying first to remove this, this is what i use: http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/produc...products_id=91 then Polish then LSP so your looking at 3 steps to get a decent finish have a read of this posting i made a bit back http://www.fiatforum.com/car-care/14...ml#post1550844 Hope that helps | ||||

| Re: turtle wax ice - anybody used it? ah thnx for your views peeps. i dont know anything about waxing either lol. i just want something that is easy, not too price, actually protects the paint and doesnt take layers of paint off lol. something that actualy prrotects my paint is my main priority and that i dont have to keep doing it every week to keep it to standard.

| Re: turtle wax ice - anybody used it? Wash the car with a good (Turtle) car shampoo, rinse, leave the car wet, spray Turtle "Wax It Wet" on, dry with chamois or leather, and you're done, car shines like new, and is protected for weeks, it's just that easy.

Anyway, with Wax It Wet, I wax my car about 20x a year (after every wash), with "normal" wax, maybe twice a year, because of all the work and trouble.....!!

| Re: turtle wax ice - anybody used it? I've used Wax it Wet and Ice too, they are both very good but i think you get what you put in when you use the ICE, a really good finish in my opinion.
