Default Turtle Wax ICE/Phantom Black S4

My 2012 S4 is Phantom Black....so I was looking at wax/polish options.

Most importantly something that left no white residue.

Tried Turtle Wax ICE car wash followed by the ICE Wax.

Went on very smooth and it came off very easy with zip residue.

So from an application perspective I give the ICE Wax good marks.

The big question is how will it hold up?

Anyone had experience with this product?

Car only stays clean a few hours and I keep mine in garage!

Price to pay for the Winterless Winter we had down here in NC!

Not just NC here in MD cars turn yellow in a matter of hours as well. My wife's beautiful Mini-cooper S Werkes goes from British Racing Green to nauseous buttercup yellow in a matter of 2-3 hours after a thorough detailing.

Yeah it will not last long. I have found the best wax and sealant to be the Einszett products. Long lasting and give incredible shine - very easy to use as well and is cheap!

I regularly use this product and love it. It looks great, is easy to apply and leaves no residue on anything. For my S4 it's around 10 minutes to apply and 10 minutes to buff off so 20 minutes total. Downside is it is not quite as deep a shine as some other products but I'm not convinced it lasts any less long than anything else I've tried. In the end, it is so quick, easy and foolproof to apply that I believe it is the better option for me over the long run.
