Default Turtle Wax Ice

I need some more polish for bike as previous stuff ran out, it was just a bottle of green polish which gave it a good shine dad gave me.

Has anyone used Turtle Wax Ice? Is it any good or worth just getting black polish instead, or even both?

James

Okay mate cheers for your opinion, I'll have a gandy at halfrauds tomorrow for it.

Just see if there is any further recommendations of decent polish.

You'll find all the info about cleaning and products here :-

Autoglym SRP, is a filler polish, that in time will break back and reveal the scratches, but it is good stuff. After polishing, use AG extra Gloss Protection to seal the polish or a wax.

Autoglym stuff is great but pricey. I used Mer a few times and its good stuff too. I try to avoid the big brands cos i genuinely believe they spend more money on marketing than they do on the product itself. They just add a drop or 2 of this and call it something new. Thats how i feel anyway.

Now i use Mr Sheen on all the bike, including wheels. Bike needs to be cleaned well before you do this tho. But cost vs result and effort then Mr Sheen wins every time.
I only started doing this after seeing a guy who owns a bike shop polish all his bikes in seconds this way and all while he was talking to me about stuff i wanted to buy. Easy, cheap and quick
