Let's Go Cruisin' & Turtle Wax has joined forces to recognize the blood, sweat & toil that many car enthusiasts put into preparing their favourite car for an event. We know the time, cost & effort required to detail your car to the max. And how your spouse or partner gets jealous that you are lavishing more time and attention on the car than on them.
Yes - there are risks involved in detailing your car!
The good folks at Turtle Wax want to recognize & reward the effort car enthusiasts put in to their cars and have made it possible for Let's Go Cruisin' to present at our events a new award, the Turtle Wax ICE Best Presented Award
All cars entering a Let's Go Cruisin' event are eligible. This isn't about new show cars, or street rods with lots of chrome & billet, it's about rewarding the obvious effort put in by an owner to prepare & then cruise in their car to the event. That can be any car at any time. Let's Go Cruisin' members will judge which car that meets the high standards of presentation required.
In line with the way we like do things, there won't be a formal judging of the concourse type using points systems or white gloves, so leave the mirrors, lights & ropes at home. It will be simply which car at an event 'stands out' from the rest and stands a good close up inspection. There are lots of well-presented cars at our events and if you keep coming along then hopefully you'll get to be a winner.
With Turtle Wax ICE, it's just so easy to achieve a fantastic finish - why wouldn't you have your car looking its very finest!
February Cruise Night 2012
Turtle Wax’s ICE Best Presented award was taken out by Rohan Hutson’s ’55 Chevrolet convertible.

Texas Holdem 2012
The Turtle Wax ‘ICE’ Best Presented award was probably the toughest one we’d ever had to judge with so many great cars beautifully presented. The nod went to Ward’s Ice Blue ’66 Mustang with you guessed it, custom number plates ICE - 66. What some people will do to collect the $200+ of ICE car care products! To collect this award against the competition at this event helps describe how well Ward’s Mustang was turned out. Congratulations. |

Back to the Drive In 2011
As busy as we all were hosting this event, we did spot a number of deserving candidates for the ICE Best Presented Award at the Dromana Drive In. Darren Pelacchi caught the judges eye as he cruised through the Drive In’s gate in his immaculate and ‘improved’ 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. This Black and Silver stunner is fitted with ’91 Corvette driveline and 18” Boyd’s to fit over the late model discs. It rides and steers with the help of coil over’s and power steering. In other words, if you’re really setting out to enjoy cruisin’ in an early ‘Vette, this is the way to go. Darren’s car was beautifully turned out and he took home a bucket filled with ICE car care products to keep it that way. Congratulations Darren. |

Texas Holdem 2010
Simon Collins not only cleaned up his candy gold and white FC Holden to take out the ICE Best Presented Award at the 2010 Texas Hold’em Poker Cruise, he cleaned out the prize table at the Poker Games ‘Flop’ as well.
Simon’s Holden was one of many very well prepared cars that cruised into Williamstown this year. But the polished blower sitting on top of the shinning small block Chevrolet convinced the judges that Simon had put plenty of elbow grease into prepping his car for the day’s cruise. He collected a bucket filled with Turtle Wax’s ICE car care range to keep it in top condition. Only a few minutes after collecting this award, he was back at the prize table collecting more prizes when he had the winning poker hand in the Blue game.
