Default Turtle Wax Ice Car Wash

Has anyone used the Turtle Wax Ice Car Wash (http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,1,3 )? I saw it at Pep Boys and just wondering if it works good or if it would be good to use on a Lexus. Thanks

Its amazing. It doesn't last as long as other waxes but it is so easy and fun that it doesn't bother me.

No such thing as a 'liquid' clay bar...
Its clay, and its solid lol...not liquid
I bought that stuff out of curiosity, and it didn't remove anything.
I returned it and bought a clay magic kit.
My advice...don't fall for the cheap turtle wax products.

do a search using the product name here in CL and you'll get a couple of threads, but in short, people say that it wears off so fast it isnt worth the trouble unless you dig using the product every couple of days. There are better products out there... I havent gotten into this phase with my car yet because the paint needs more help than a product can cure so I can be that great of a help finding new products.

Just us a wash brush and rinse, then use scratch x if needed, then wax with some meguiars gold class (or any other wax), then use meguiars showcar glaze... does a good job for me.

you definitely want to glaze before you wax. wax/sealant is suppose to be the topper/last product added.

Bought some from Costco last month and found it to be an OK car wash. I prefer the foaming and lubricity of the NXT and Mequiar's Gold Class soaps better, though.
