I'm going over my dad's older van while he is out of town, it is white, a little chalky like most neglected white cars get. Well I clayed it and decided to use this Turtle wax product called 'Ice' that I bought a while ago and was afraid to use on one of my black cars. I put it on and, well, it does not go on like a wax.

It's like a glaze but slicker, if it is possible to describe it that way. It does not haze up like a wax either, Looks like a oil and seems to feed the paint pretty good but what I'm really wondering is...

Is it doing anything good to the paint?

Is it a wax?

Will it protect it?

Should I put a wax on top of it?


Thanks guys.

It's a pretty mediocre car "care" product....it leaves a cheap oily layer on the car that washes off much too easily. I recommend using a good quality, yet affordable wax like "Mothers" or "Meguiars"

Do you think a wax will stick on top of it?
