Turtle Wax ICE Spray Detailer Review

I went ahead and gave this product a try because it was on sale at my walmart.


Design:
I like the actual bottle and trigger design, just as good as UQD. The ICE Sprays more than it mists.

Application/Removal:
The application required the flip of the MF to remove product, where as UQD just needs one swipe as you apply. It also leaves smearing if overused, sort of like a wax.

Water Beading:
The water did sheet and bead, but not nearly as good as UQD. UQD produces many very small tight, tiny beads that are even on the surface where as the ICE just had random large beads and didn't sheet very well.

 And with UQD, it is very small tight beads (which I prefer). I guess it's just opinion:

Look:
It did make the paint pop, but again, not as good as UQD does...

Smell:
The product actually smelled pretty good, but not as good as UQD.

Price:
As far as price though, I got 32oz bottle for only 6 dollars.
Where UQD is 22oz for 10 dollars.


Out of 5, I give the product a 3

It doesn't compare to UQD, or any other Meg's Detailer...
I don't recommend buying it unless it's on sale and since it's cheaper you could use it at least once a day and not affect your wallet.


Below are all the responds:

Re: Turtle Wax ICE Spray Detailer Review

I actually used to love this product until they changed the trigger(I bought one when they first came out) Like you mention i doesnt really mist and mine foams and then i noticed the smearing, i just threw mine away i was disappointed.

Re: Turtle Wax ICE Spray Detailer Review

I haven't used the detailer, but I do really like the ICE microfiber polishing towels and their drying towel. It's nice to be able to just go to Wal-Mart and find some better than decent towels.

Re: Turtle Wax ICE Spray Detailer Review

Great Review!!
Although there may be some bias, but it is okay.
I liked the Spray Detailer and that is all I liked from the ICE line.
I did a good job and helped with "wax".

Re: Turtle Wax ICE Spray Detailer Review

I have a bottle and it worked pretty good for me, also have a bottle of MOTHERS Showtime,Wax Shop Slick Stuff HD and KIT PearlGlo as well as the UQD,all seemed to work as advertised, No bias here I like to try them all

Re: Turtle Wax ICE Spray Detailer Review

I though that Turtle Platinum spray was better then Turtle Ice spray.

Re: Turtle Wax ICE Spray Detailer Review

I actually prefer the look of the ICE over UQD. I have a white vehicle and, in my opinion, the paint just pops a bit more. The reason that I buy UQD is for the hydropholic properties and that I can stock up when Target has a sale on UQD bottles.

The TW Ice claykit is actually pretty decent as well. The Liquid Claybar portion is fairly worthless but the clay and lube provided does a decent job on contamination removal.

*********************Pity right?************************
most of the time that I found out the negative review have Merguiars product along with them.But basically Merguiars is much more expensive than turtle. And only turtle have basic grade wax such as hardshell to higher grade platinum, nano extreme and ice to serve multiple categories of consumer.
Is there any one side bias review? I had been enjoying the hard shell. let see more information below:

It's not bad, out of that and car pride hard wax, I would choose the car pride, if you must stick with TW, then I would suggest the Platinum, here is a pic of the results the cleaner wax you are reffering to can do

 I will suggest audience to have a look at a more neutral review as below:

We gave the new Turtle Wax ICE system a review, but before we start we have to ask you how may times you have read the claim "leaves no powdery residue" before ?

Well you may be pleased to know that we found all the ICE products leave absolutely NO (zero) powdery residue of any kind.

We are talking not even a tiny microscopic amount of powder residue is left anywhere... nothing... Which is amazing because we read this on other products, but still see traces of powder after we use them...but with ICE, the claim is 100% true.. ZERO powdery residue. Finally some truth in advertising.. haha.

Ok lets begin...

 In fact....yes. this is awesome. !

Turtlewax legend of hard shell- The easier and affordable protection!

Nothing much to say but the picture tell. To get a budget price with enough of protective of surface.
Here is it the Hardshell... it had been the legend . time tells~~ yo.
That's why i like it, cheap and easy.

 

 I had been using it for my own car..and sometimes shine is not as complicated as mirror reflection but the simple clean and shine which can be delivered to anyone car. as easy as possible. Just that's it.
The main reason I have my great time with turtlewax hardshell is that I need the conservative way to protect my car and let it shine as per normal instead of purposely to create it an extra-ordinary outlook. A very good information HERE for us to understand more(About: Paintwork Correction or Paintwork Preservation ).
I'm a driver who have no luck to modify my car at all, I just want it to be original. Hence in this body car of my car, I wish it shine at the most safety way as possible.
When I reach here, don;t catch me wrong that I like car detailing as well. But not what we think as the trendy car detailer thought.


Here it is. My Turtlewax hardshell paste.Just finish it .....

But let say for us to have a full protection with enough of economical budget for our car, hard shell is always the legend to offer this price tag to our consumer. 

Let see what we have with hardshell and buget protection for our car:

 First thing, a must have from me, hehe.. The legend . The turtle hardshell paste. Economic and enough for a great shine.

 Secondly, for faster application to car body of for those who like easier waxing than paste wax. Here it is, the liquid hard shell!!

 Not to left out this! the Turtlewax Express shine. This is very cool. fast enough to show fast shine, apply and wipe away. so easy so easy....just that easy and fast. that's way it said: Express shine.

 Let say If I'm busy for some weekend stuff to do, I need to cut down some waxing time. This will help alot...! wet wax. skip the wax curing time. Hence for times we are busy. Have this one
 when we are short of time~~













But what is the best match to perform the waxing?
OK. 1 hard shell paste/liquid for base application after wash and clay. then follow up with a coat of express shine. And this will cover for weeks to months depend on your car is a garage keeper or hot sun babe~~
I will suggest to get wet wax for who don't have enough time to spend on wax or want thing fast. But don;t forget, express shine is always a good topper for all kind of wax product.  Enjoy!

And This is still bead-ing of rain after days I applied. Still awaiting the next weekend to wax it again! IT just so fun to do it at the same time enough budget for me to make this hobby easy!!   ^0^
