Summary:
Great stuff especially considering the price.

Strengths:
I used to spend 10 bucks at the wand wash and now I spend less than a dollar doing it my self, getting all the nooks and crannies along with some exercise and fresh air.

Weaknesses:
One guy commented on water spots. I have gotten very few. If you're in a rush then yes you'll get them but if you wait for the majority of the car to dry by it self and then you dry the rest with a soft towel... you're lookin' like a million bucks. Though it's true when he says the water spots are more difficult to get off than they should be. I should note that I don't know what it's like to wash in the sun as I wash my car in my warehouse. Even in my warehouse the soap on the car dries very quickly so I've adopted a technique of washing one little section very well and then spraying it down and then moving to the next section.

None in fact. I was faced with a wall of stuff that all looked the same to me. I have a bottle of Turtle wax sitting in the shop that I had used way back when and that came to mind when faced with the 34,500 different waxes in the store so I looked for Turtle and sure enough, it was right in front of me.

Summary:
After washing my windows with Windex Outdoor wash it was time to wash the car. I thought that seeing the Windex bottle does sich a nice and complete job on the windows I would give it a try on the car. I filled the bottle with the Zip wax and proceeded to wash the car. NEVER did I dream I would get such a great car wash and in such a short time. For a soon to be 74 year old grandmother to be able to wash a car and have such great results is unbeliveable. Did you ever think of changing your was container to look like the Windex Outdoor Window wash?

Weaknesses:
Need to have container that sprays clear water then soap and then again the clear spray

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
one word: SPOTS. damn spots everywhere. especially on warmer days when it dries faster, and you dont get to it with the towel fast enough. these spots are also very difficult to get off, you might as well wash the whole car again.

Strengths:
cheap price

Weaknesses:
(see review summary)

im guessing meguiars makes something better

Summary:
I've used it exclusively for many, many years on all my cars and vans. It was the only thing I used on a Jeep Cherokee for 11 years--it still looked good when I sold it. Same for several vans (ever try waxing a van?). I haven't waxed in years.

Strengths:
It works to clean and protect. It does its job.

Weaknesses:
It doesn't give a show car shine. You have to soak bugs for a while to get them off and it ignores tar.

None since I tried Zip Wax.

Summary:
I can usually find it on sale at Walmart or the like. I would definitely recommend it. I have never had any negative results from using this product.

Strengths:
Good results. Usually you can find it at a good price. Doesn't take much to wash a car.

Weaknesses:
None really. This is good wash.
