I recently got a sample wax from Obi Dan Karnubi the maker of Chocwork Orange Wax. I applied the wax to my F-150 and the results were great. Here is the truck with a beading shot. The wax was easy to apply and really made the vehicle shine. Great wax. Obi Dan keep up the good work.
 
Cquartz on the paint, Adam's Quick Sealant on the sunroof, and GTechniq G1 on the windshield:




 


ICE Paste from Turtle Wax. This is the latest formula off-white beige colored wax, extremely hydrophobic.

Very nice. It looks like TW got the latest version of Ice just right. Keep us up to date on durability.
 
As far as short term water durability goes, when I did my water test going up against Meguiar's Ultimate Paste on the other side of the hood, I noticed the surface tension of that wax was noticeably being affected after wetting the surface for about 5 minutes. Whereas the ICE side was standing up strong throughout the entire duration of the 20 minute test, doing what I prefer to see waxes do, which is beading tightly and sheeting water off really quickly. The Ultimate Paste seemed to switch to a sheeting based wax after 5 minutes of wetting (water going completely flat against the panel and slower sheeting action pulls most of the water off), and generating flatter oblong shaped beads). Doesn't mean much as far as long term paint protection durability goes, but is interesting to note for those of you who love super tight beads and fast sheeting. I was pleasantly surprised at this new ICE formula (new to me at least, I hadn't tried or tested Turtle Wax for quite some time until recently).
 
The Wife's current daily after a summer rainstorm last weekend. CG blacklight/v7 combo used on this one.

Gtechniq C1.5 Silo seal. By far, the slickest sealant I have come across.
