I recently received Turtle Wax brand's Ice Spray Wax for my birthday and thought I'd try it out on my Audi. Usually I buy the Turtle Wax's liquid wax as I have always thought it did a better job of protecting the paint than the spray products. I was amazed, however, at how well the spray wax did. The concept behind spray waxes are not new, however, in recent years it has become extremely popular as a more time effective way to protect your car's paint. For the Ice Spray Wax 3 or 4 squirts of the bottle was more than enough to cover about a square foot of car. What I liked most was that I only needed a microfiber towel and a little elbow grease to get an even layer on the A3. Instead of having to repeatedly remove and buff out the wax I could just spray, wipe and be done. While perhaps not as cost efficient as using the traditional liquid wax, the spray wax was far more time-effective with me being able to finish the entire car in about 20 minutes as opposed to more like 45 with the liquid wax. I also noticed that even after the waxing was complete, the car retained its post-wash shine. This could be due to using the "Ice" brand as I had not used it in the liquid form before.
The ability to choose how much was I wanted in certain areas was also a handy feature. For example, the Audi tends to get bug splats and small rocks right near the license plate area. Usually, I cannot get a good layer of wax in this narrow space as it would require hulk levels of elbow grease. The spray wax, however, made it easy as I sprayed the area about 5 times and and just wiped as best I could. Again, with buffing not necessary this makes waxing your car much easier as you don't have to worry about the wax getting too dry before spreading it. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone as either a supplement to traditional liquid wax or as your new wax of choice. I will warn that the spray bottle tends to run out faster and is more expensive than liquid so keep that in mind if you wax your car frequently.
