Default Turtle Wax Ice
I know there are guys on here who use this stuff, and was wondering if it is as good as I've heard.

I currently use the Harley Glaze polish and Harley Gloss as a detailer. Is the turtle wax enough of an improvement to go out and buy it?

Don't think it's much of an improvement BUT it doesn't leave the "white" residue on leather, plastic, etc.

I agree. I used it on my jeep for a while. Only lasts a month or two then has to be done again. It is nice that it doesn't leave a residue at all so I'll keep using it myself.

I tried it and didn't like it. It left the paint feeling greasy, didn't really seem to shine up the paint that well and just didn't impress me. Ill stick to carnauba wax.

Saw a side by side with this vs. Zaino and Meguires NXT vs. Zaino. Zaino blew them out of the water. Top it off with a coat of P21S Carnuba and there's nothing better IMO.

Question for you. Does it leave residue? For someone like me with a train and everything textured black it makes a difference.

Thanks for the info. I know ice doesn't leave residue but I think I'll give the stuff you use a try.

What do you guys use as a chrome polish? What do you use as a quick detailer for in between when the bike isn't dirty enough for a wash and was?

The Harley Glaze I've been using is for chrome too and I use the Harley Gloss or S100 for a detailer.
