Good Lord, thanks a friggin lot there buddy, now I have to buy it to try it! Now where do I get it?
Money not really an issue if the stuff REALLY works. Has anyone ever used this any of these products in heat or direct sun? Being in South Florida, heat and the sun is always an issue. Cold, not so much...
Sorry fellas but pretty much disagree w/ya'll. 35 years ago, Turtle wax was the bomb in waxes...only cuz we didn't know any better. Back then, TW had polishing agents in the wax which stripped the paint.
Nowadays any high quality wax out there will work pretty much the same as others. Some may last a little longer, make paint a look a little deeper but overall, they're all gonna do/work just fine.
Me, I prefer Meguir's but will use other stuff too. In SoFla, (where I also live,) it's nearly a moot point. The heat & sun will strip whatever wax you put on the car w/in 2-4 months- don't care if it's carnuba based, polymers or the latest greatest- ya can't beat Mother Nature.
To bring out the best shine, it's a multi-phase, shoulder burning, time consuming process. 1st you gotta wash off all the dirt, then clay bar it, then remove swirls & imperfections, then polish it. The wax is the final step that seals it all in. Meguir's & Mother's, for example, have complete kits that include all the necessary ingredients for all these steps.
But the bottom line is the wax is only gonna last so long, especially here in SoFla. And that's my 2 cents.

I use the turtle wax ice then follow up with the Meguiar's quick was or the showroom.. I noticed by using both I get the deep shine and the deep color. Plus both will last a week.
Have done this and it would rain like hell outside and my boss would ask if I was wiping the car down because it was shiny and not dirty. But once you got on it you can tell it was dirty. Even this winter the ups driver was asking how Iwas able to keep it so shiny lol

Do some of you guys really pay $100 for a can of wax? Wax? Seriously..wax? I wouldn't spend that kinda dough on a date w/a good looking woman much less a substance designed to make my car look shinier.
Again, sorry fellas, but I'm married w/children, one in an out-of-state college, the other coming up on "braces" age, not to mention only working p/t, & living in a house I can't afford. There ain't no wax in the world that's worth that kind of $$...for me. It's just wax fer crissakes. How pretty do you really want/need your car to look? The paint only goes so deep.
Me, it's a matter of priorities- taking care of my family, food, shelter, paying my electric bills, buying gas first- long before I'd ever spend more than $10-15 on wax. Shoot, even if I could afford, ain't now way I'd spend that kind of green on wax anyway. My wife would kill me dead fer sure.
