I've used Mother's (pure carnauba), Meguiar's products and now Turtle Wax ICE over the years on multiple Mustangs I've owned. i gotta say, being 48 years old, the ICE is very easy to use and comes off making the Pony looking really nice!

For me, wash, ICE clay, rinse (basically another quickie hand wash), ICE wax.

clay is easy to use man...use a lot of quick lube and let the bar slide across the paint. I break the bar up into smaller pieces because if I drop one it has to be thrown away. After you do one panel roll them back up and flatten it to get a clean piece of clay.

I haven't used a lot of different waxes but I am am pretty happy with the Meguires NXT 2.0 wax.The original NXT wax was good but didn't last very long but the 2.0 has lasted through 4washes and numerous rainstorms.

I follow a similar procedure as someone already listed - wash, Mother'sclay, wash or rinse, Griot's machinepolishes, hand wax.

The clay is really easy to use. The only wayyou would scratch the paint is if you were to drop it on the ground and get some debris in it.The things it will pull off the paint won't scratch the car as long as you keep folding andkneading the clay every fewminutes or so. It's pretty amazing how much smoother the paint feels after using clay for the first time.

Cut the clay bar up into about 3 peices. So if you drop it, yuo dont loose the whole thing. Use plenty of lube!!! Plenty!!!!!!!! and you should be allright!

I use all the Adams products. Love them. I think as long as you wax and take care of your paint on a regular basis, you'll be doing more than the average Joe and your car will love you.
Me too!

I've been using the Adam's products for a few years now and have always been pleased.
