Hmm, only one person here uses it?
Glad to see the Old School way of keeping your ride nice and clean is alive and well.

I used it and had some issues with it that I won't go into here, don't want a vendor bashing thread to start.

Anyways I just used Turtle Wax's ICE spray on my car with a surface temp of 115 degrees in the sun and it worked great. Now my car is back to it's old self again. :tup:

I've always had good luck with all the Meguiar's stuff I use, and I know how to use it for my needs and my cars. So I've never really had the desire to start experimenting with anything else.

While it may or may not have anything to do with the products in question, I will say that all their demo cars seem to have problems with swirls. Then again, I'm extremely particular about my paint.

NXT is some good stuff as well, its part of Meguiars consumer line. Meguiars #21 out of their professional line is almost the same stuff. For red and day colored cars its hard to beat Meguiars #26, as the carnuba really brings out the depth.

On red, I use #7 then #26.

On red, I use #7 then #26.
Since we we talking waxes/sealants I just listed what I used for that. I use #7 too and love it. For swirl removal, I'll use their Speed Glaze. I can't remember that number off the top of my head but I think its 70 or 71. I use #7 when I just need a pure polish and no need to address any swirls. Always top it with a wax or sealant, as the first wash or rain will just remove any polish if there's not anything added to protect the paint.

If you're looking for protection and the deep carnuba look, do whatever polishing you desire, then lay down a coat or two of #21 for protection and top it with a coat of #26. The sealant will last longer than the #26, in the event you don't throw the #26 back on in time.

I could discuss this stuff all day long. I'm extremely fanatical about my paint, and been doing this sort of stuff for a long time. Cleaning my cars is another hobby unto itself!

I have only tried Eagle One Nano Wax. It works great and lasts a long time, but I don't really know anything about waxing.

I use Lucas Oil Slick Mist as my 'quick detailer' and use Turtle Wax Ice for all my waxing.

It has worked great on my Competition Orange Cobra convertible and my daily drivers!!

I just tried TW Ice Wax this past weekend on my T-Bird and my wife's HHR. Awesome results, maybe the easiest to apply and remove wax I have tried.
Been using TW Ice polish the past couple years and some Meguiar's.

I prefer the Ice 'cause it works on all surfaces and looks great on the black plastic. No need for 3 or 4 different products.
I also used the TW Ice car wash too. Been along time since my car was squeaky clean and don't forget the Chamios. :tup:

Think I'll rename this thread since only one person admitted to using that waterless sh.....stuff. :p

clay bars are awesome too, if u get fall out on your car( tree sap, bird crap marks anything really.. if your paint feels kinda gritty. clay bar it and then wax it. when your done, it will be like glass.

And maybe you can answer a couple of questions like...
Why is there no money back guarantee on Croftgate products?
Where is the MSDS that I need to read before using Croftgate products?
