Default Turtle wax I.C.E

This past weekend I tried I.C.E on my black JK. At first it was kind of weird, it almost felt like oil. As I began to wipe off the thin layer that was applied I noticed that it wasn't that easy to do even though I did everything exactly how the instructions read. Shortly after I finished the whole car, It started to rain. No big deal, I was expecting some that day. What bothered me was the oily streak marks running down from every panel! Am I not supposed to use this product on a humid or rainy day? Anybody out there with BLACK JK's having better luck than me with this kind of wax? ( I really made sure I wiped off all of the wax with the polishing cloth!)

I used Mothers 3-Step. Takes time, but worth it.

one of the best products if you can find it anymore is eagle1' "wipe 'n' shine" used it on all my jeeps even if it was dirty ie dust or other light crap just trigger spray on and wipe off w/t a shamy.

but in all best is wash then wax then use a clear coat polish and it will help prevent the swirls you get when you wash and dry

I haven't used either one of those, but I've heard good things about both. I use Zaino Brothers products. Here's a link.

No problems on white or red took 30 minutes to do each car was nice and it's lasted 2 months so far. I didn't use the small cloth they gave you I used a regular old bath towel that I use for washing and drying cars.

That Eagle1 is my favorite!!! SO DAMN EASY! Another good one is DuPont Teflon. Really easy off and a glassy shine.

It makes my silver Magnum look great too; even when it's dirty.


The Rubi doesn't look bad either.

I used Turtle wax ICE on my motercycle and loved it! Which one did you get? There are a choice of three I have tried two of them and so far so good.
