Turtle Wax
4.1

"A beautiful vintage car deserves vintage wax. Good ol' tub of paste Turtle Wax, lovingly applied, and vigorously buffed off!"
"It has gotten rave reviews, even from some of the more hardcore car detailers."
"It’s simply better."
"Turtle wax, and a lot of elbow grease."
"I use turtle wax Hybrid ceramic spray. Way easier than the old carnuba, spray, wipe off with one towel, wipe dry with a second towel."
"I like the turtle wax spray it’s last along time and is easy to apply"
"I find it more durable than Meguiars."
"Best bang for your buck is probably gonna be Turtle Wax Ice. It's a spray wax so it's real easy to apply and hand buff off."
"In the paint business never seen a turtle wax product I'd use."
