It has always been Harley gloss for me, but I have been wondering if anyone has tried that new turtle ice?

I use the turtle wax ICE wash and detailer spray. The wash doesnt leave as many water spots if i don't dry the bike fast enough and the detailer kind of foam mists out, works ok. I use to use PIG SPIT and PIG SNOT, just can't find it her in La. yet. Stuff works great!

Turtle wax ICE . Have tried Mothers and ICE is by far the best . I can wash dry and two coats of ICE in 2-3 hours .
With a normal wax takes me a week after the wax job to get all the WHITE left over wax out of the cracks in the chrome and lights.
Thats not a problem with ICE. I also use ICE Car wash soap before the wax.

Meguiars Tech Wax, Lucas Slick Mist, Pig Spig for the black engine parts, Lemon Pledge, Multi Purpose Pledge, and sometimes just spray some water on.

The Tech Wax for giving the paint a deep look and the Slick Mist for in between waxing's.

I am interested in trying the Turtle Wax Ice since I have read many people like it and it works well.

Mothers Carnauba Wax on the paint and Mothers Chrome Polish on the chrome, McGuire"s Plastic polish on the windshield and Vaseline on the rubber and other vinyl and plastics.

Learned about the Vaseline from a dash repair person years ago and it works soo much better than Armor-All and the like.
