Rejex - I've tried them all. 2.5 years and 80,000 miles later, people still can't believe how new & clean my paint looks.

Bought a bottle of Turtle Ice Liquid Polish.. It says polish on the bottle, does that mean its abrasive? anyone know for sure whethers its abrasive or not?
No, it is not abrasive at all.

Ok, i'll give it a try when i get a chance. Its always raining here nowadays for no reason, so I don't wanna wax my car and have the rain pour all over it since I drive my car everyday anyways... Oh well, just wait till the rain stops, hopefully in a couple more days...

Hi,
Have been using Zymol for many years now. Personally, I like it very much, though it cost more.
Heard they won the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize in Pebble Beach Concours de Elegance 2005 Oct. I think they got Best Of Show too. Visit Zymol.com for more info.

Turtle Ice? Easy on, easy off? LIAR!! At least on a black car, its not that easy... easy on, yes definitely, easy off, no no... After I wipe it, I have like streaking thing occuring, maybe due to the wax drying a little bit. Any tips on that?

hi,
I have no experiences with Turtle ice. But as far as I know its a synthetic paint sealant. This stuff doesn't dry and harden the way waxes do, it needs oxygen from the air to activate a sort of chemical prozess, that will make it bond to the paint.
Rain, dew or even high humidity can disturb this process. Maybe it was simply too humid when you applied the stuff?
Tips? Well, in this case you have to remove it and........next try (a dry try)

Did you try the Zaino?
Nice results! My wife even commented on it, and usually she doesn't notice such things. Thanks for the tip!

A lot of people I know recommend and swear by Zaino; personal friends as well as people on other forums (many, many people). I've used Zymol before and loved it but I've just ordered the Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit from Zaino. (http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...ct_Code=ZKIT-2)
Can't wait to spend a day polishing my black beauty....
