Turtle Wax Review
How satisfied are you with whatever car cleaning products you have now? If anyone's more than satisfied, I would recommend taking it a step forward to being astonished.
Recently I was given the opportunity to review numerous amounts of Turtle Wax car care products offered by Turtle Wax. The company had sent applicators, sponge pads, syntheticliquid polish, liquid soap, synthetic liquid detailer, liquid clay bar and a synthetic paste polish wax. The selection was amazing and could cover hours worth of detailed usage if one planned to use them all in one cleaning.
I only had about two hours to spare so I decided to try the Turtle Wax liquid soap for the general cleaning of the car. Compared to other car soaps Turtle Wax offers a much thicker and condensed soap, which made the washing practice require very little of it. I probably used less than a fourth a cup to wash the entire car and that was from three buckets of water. Other brands such as Zap (or whatever's in your store) are noticeably watery when you tilt them and watch the air bubbles in the container moving quickly. You would have to use like half a container to get one bucket, but you can avoid that by simply buying the right stuff - Turtle Wax liquid soap which is in a clear container.
After washing the car properly by covering the roof first, moving onto the windsheild, side windows and pillars, I moved onto the hood and trunk. My lower panels on the 84' 190D were especially embarrassing - the car looked like it came straight out of a mud pit or something equivalent. The Turtle Wax liquid soap did remarkably well at removing dirt on those panels and inside the tire wells.
I previously had waxed the carand there was no need to. So I decided to polish the car up using the Synthetic Turtle Wax Liquid Polish. With this product, you're able to use it anywhere except glass and chromebasically. There isn't a negative effect of getting a little on one of those though. It's really great on plastic and rubber parts. But to get a full effect from it, you should let it soak in for a few hours out of the sunlight and maybe go over it twice. This liquid polish brought back the clear coat on my 24 year original paint brilliantly and applying the Turtle Wax liquid polish was as simple as squirting it onto the provided applicator and wiping every part of the car.
After using the Turtle Wax products, I have gotten three positive remarks to my car from random people. You may think your car's hot, but is it really without Turtle Wax? Probably not, so I would recommend using at least the liquid soap and synthetic polish.
