Pete likes the Ice (Turtle Wax that is)
Well, I decided I had some spare energy yesterday afternoon, so I started on the annual wash, detail, and polish routine of Shiny Pete, our Flying Cloud 27fb.
Pete has been babied most of his 3 and 1/2 years, living in our pole barn when he is not camping 50+ nights per year. However, he still gets plenty grimy with dust, pollen, moisture, etc., and I usually wash him like 3x per year. I've done his spring polishing with Walbernize in the past, but at 4 pm yesterday I discovered I didn't have enough left to even start.
Hmm..........what to do........didn't some folks on AF mention Turtle Wax Ice some time ago as a good solution? Shazam, a quick trip to town, and let's go.........
And, I am happy to report, both Pete and I are very pleased with the results. Super shine, easy to put on and take off, and it may just be easier than Walbernize (sorry Airstream purists). The Ice is a liquid, non-cleaning/abrasive polish, in a 14 oz bottle, and I used almost exactly 1/2 of the bottle to finish Pete late this morning, for a total project time of about 6 hours.
So there you go. Oh, and you can use Ice on the cast parts and plastic parts as well for a nice sheen. Hope this helps.
