Is there really a difference in car waxes? Which would you recommend?

Holy crap. I just waxed my car with Turtle Wax Ice, and I can’t tell you how amazing it is. I used to use just the regular old Turtle Wax (the stuff that dries to a white film), and it was good, but you have to be super careful to not get it on the trim and any plastic. Plus, it leaves white reside if you get it in the seams of the body of the car. Ice is perfect. You don’t have to worry about getting it on plastic or trim (actually, they tell you that is makes those look like new, too, so they encourage you to use it all over), plus you can use it in direct sunlight. That is a big plus for me because I don’t have a garage, and shade is hard to come by for me. Usually, waxing my car takes about two hours from start to finish, and on Sunday it took me less than one hour.

I sound like a Turtle Wax commercial, but seriously, this stuff was great. It is a bit pricey, but I thought it was worth it.

I lurve waxing my car. It is one of the things I look forward to every summer.

Any wax with a high level of carnauba – compare labels, and then shop for price.

What does carnauba do? Does that mean that it lasts longer or protects better?

I recently used boat wax on my older model truck, and it brought out a shine that makes it look like a brand new vehicle. Boat wax is more expensive than car wax, but it protects against salt as well as grime, and I won’t go back to ordinary car wax ever again.
