Anyone used Turtle Wax ICE?

Has anybody used this stuff, and if so, would you suggest it?

I did search and found and old thread, but not a lot of input.

I used the Turtle Wax ICE clay bar kit as well as their spray wax. I found the clay bar kit and included lubrication spray to work well. I used it on my black G35 and was quite happy with how it was able to pick up dirt. IMHO its a good product and would use it on my M3. The price point is good too. I've used the Meguir's kit as well as Riccardo clay bars and I believe it works as well as any of those products.

As for the ICE spray wax, my results weren't as positive. It goes on easy but provides little to no beading action and even less to hide even the most minute scratches. It provides a nice shine, but from what I experienced, the product does not last very long (just a few weeks in my case).

Thanks for the info. After reading more posts on the subject, I guess I should throw down some cash and get some Chemical Bro. or other HQ product.

For sealant/wax, you definitely want something better than TW ICE. I've heard good things about Chemical Bros. JetSeal. I've got an AW M3 and have used the Menzerna Power Lock Sealant and really like it. Check this forum for your colour car and see what the pros are using. From what I've seen, they use good stuff, expensive, but by no means excessively expensive.

I used Blackfire Wet Diamond on top of Chemical Guys Glaze II about three weeks ago and I am still blown away by how good it looks on my AW. Blackfire supposed to be great on dark colors too.
