Hi billyk. I have just treated with Turtle Wax Ice liquid wax T-468R. We shall see how it is holding up as time goes by.
I am dubious about the consistency of the milky product and before I follow up with the makers, I would appreciate if you, and anyone else on this thread, noticed very small lumps in it. I suspect they may be the carnauba wax improperly dispersed. If that is the case the wax would not be evenly spread on the paint unless you rubbed hard and it is about the hardest wax you can get.
I am coming from the position of a person experienced in compounding pharmaceutical creams/emulsions and ointments. These are made with "optimal dispersion" whereby you preferably disperse solids at a molecular level so for the wax you would have it dissolved in some solvent and disperse that solution as droplets in an emulsion. On the paint the droplets would be spread and break down , freeing the wax molecules and they are spread at a molecular level. TW Ice is certainly an emulsion as it will mix with water.
Often, separation occurs, so you shake before use. The TW Ice does not say that, but I did.
Would you
shake first and pour a little out and feel for lumps with your finger. I would describe mine as almost feeling gritty. If yours is smooth then I will return my unused portion.
