Turtle Wax ICE products - has anyone used it?

Saw the adverts for Turtle Wax Ice polish. Just wondering if anyone has tried it on their Mini and can report back on the results? It is does what it says on the tin it would be wonderful - paint and plastic trim without white residue, sounds too good to be true!

Quick & easy to apply, feels nice, looks ok, doesn't last too long - but so easy to apply it doesn't matter too much.
Not convinced there is ZERO residue on the trim, but hard to tell if what showed was left over from some previous treatment.

Thanks for the replies, also had a look on NAM. Seems agreement on the fact that it is easy to apply BUT it does not last long. Generally people seems more impressed with the ICE wash than the polish. Will stick with Meguiars Gold Class liquid polish and Meguiars trim detailer. Polish leaves no residue, care required not to get it on the plastic trim - a bit more work in total but the finish is excellent and it does last quite a long time.

ebay joff's classic wax,

i recently bought some and it brings the paintwork up well and it is truly a no residue wax, trim,dash ect....and ive not had any white marks (only used it once as ive only just got it) . its easy to work off and theres no white dust crap like some polishes/waxes, i was dubious at first but i thought what had i to lose.


maybe worth a try if you want low or no white residue.


bonus its british made too.
