I use mothers clay bar, but i dont clay bar her much. I stay away from the ICE stuff. As for waxing i use meguiers paint cleaner followed by good ol number 7 meguiers and then nxt 2.0 meguiers.

if you are going to switch to real clay barring make sure you dont do circular motions and get a good quick detailer or even better soap your car down and leave it that way and use a detailer for additional slickness. Also keeping the claybar in warm water helpd in the kneading

I think it works good as a liquid clay bar. A real clay bar probably does a better job though. The reason i chose the ICE liquid clay bar is because it can get in the tight cracks. I know that it made a huge difference from how it was before. Hope this helps.

Car looks good...but I'm def not a fan of those wheels at all..they seem way to small IMO.
