Default "Ice" From Turtle Wax

This is the new synthetic liquid polish that a number of the manufacturers are making. I bought a bottle of "Protect All" last fall and did the Montana. This stuff is similar although does not go on everything...the PA goes on literally everything on an RV or TV.

Re the "Ice"...

Likes: -Goes on very very easily.
-Takes very little time...working slowly, 1 1/2 hours for a DRW CC.
-Comes off very very easily.
-Takes very little of the liquid. Came in a 16 oz bottle...I'll be too old to drive by the time this stuff is gone.
-Everything comes with it...application pad and buffer cloth.
-Goes on plastic, headlights and tail lights and rubber.

Dislikes: -They advertise "no white residue." That's great except it is impossible to see what is done and what is not done.
-Should be put on every 3 to 4 months...my old Nu Finish was a once a year job.
-It says on the bottle "you can shine all exterior surfaces." Farther down it says "do not use on glass."
-Does not mention chrome/metal...called the 800#, got a gal with the personality of a doorknob...can't use it on chrome/metal.
-It was so hard to see what was done vs not done, I put on a second coat.
-It's expensive...$17 in WM.

So the jury's out...I'll see how it holds up over the summer. I have no intention of doing this monster TV every three months. If Ice does not hold up, it will be back to Nu Finish. I can see where it would be okay for the 5th wheel...it does not sit out when we are not camping, so the Ice should last longer.
