i wouldna use turtle wax, its cruel. think of all the poor turtles then had to compress just to get the wax to polish your car..

karnuba based wax is made from plants.. so using it is like being a vegetarian.

dont use it .. think of the children...

On the interior. It should make the dash shiny. So you'll see it.

Exterior, just remember where you put it.

My opinion on turtle wax is that waxing turtles makes them go faster.

Last time I was in Pep Boys they had buy one get one free on the Turtle Wax Ice stuff. I think it was a mail in deal though, which is a PITA.

Turtle Wax has always made good solid car products. The problem is that the marketing BS hype that the other car product manufacturers have practiced all these years has created a brand-name perception problem for "Turtle-Wax" with the general public and in particular with teh younger generations. This has led the general public to gain the misconception that "Turtle-Wax" products must be "inferior"...which at first consumer thought is for the most part based on the product brand name "Turtle Wax" with very little knowledge by the consumer about TW as a car product manufacturer or the composition of the TW products themselves.

Fact of the matter is TW has been making good products for over 60 years now. And the test of time and longevity says it all for their products. To their credit Turtle Wax has not resorted to stooping to the marketing BS hype that have literally brainwashed the American consumer to move toward other products.

The saying here is that if the mail in rebate address is in the US. Most likely nothing is coming back. If address is in Canada, the deal is good to go.
