    Those 2 brands are probally the best off the shelf wax brands but to use the meguiar's or mothers 3 stage wax system takes a good couple hours at least. The turtle wax ice took an hour to clean the car twice, clay bar and wax it.

    yea this is true, but i don't mind since i usually do it on a day off where i have the whole day and it usually takes me around 4 hours, i wash it twice, dry, then polish on and off, then wax on and off. i always hate it while i'm doing it but once i'm done, its so worth it. hopefully it will take alot less time now since i'm picking up a buffer tomorrow at work

    Buffer definatly helps. My brother used to detail cars professionally so he has a really good buffer and has some high quality stuff thats a 4 stage system. Used that a couple times on my car and it looks good. It takes about 4-5 hours and the car looks really good.

    I used the Turtle Wax Ice twice this past weekend and its so easy to use u could almost do it after every wash or 2 cause it takes so little time to do it.

    I'm goin to try this for 2 reasons:

    1. I like having my car waxed at all times
    2 I am extremely lazy about waxing it.

    yes I know this is a paradox but thats how I am.

    This stuff isn't wax though.... BUT its amazing to use in-between waxes or after the rain dries up after last nights thunder storm. Also can clean up bird poop pretty well.

    Never had any good experience with a synthetic wax, didnt last long and didnt cover swirls as well. Ive used shining monkey caranuaba(sp?) wax in the past and did not have a single complaint. Virtually, covered 50% of my swirls with only one coating. Rubbed on, buffed off.

    If properly applied that is.

    I remember I ended up liking this product much better than the expensive stuff I had to order online, plus it has such a good smell!
