What to use for occasional waxing?
I use the Turtle Wax Ice for detailing 2 or 3 times a week, and my car looks great. I wash it fully every week, then detail it after.
Should I also be using an actual WAX or other sealant as well? For summertime, the Ice seems to be doing great on its own, (when I wash the car, I can barelty see a difference- I do it mainly to get every last bug off the bumper...  ) but when the weather gets icky I know the car will get far grimier with road salt and such...
I plan to get a clay bar over the winter and do an annual or semi-annnual claying in the Spring/Fall for shine, but I wonder if I should be doing somethig a bit less involved but still more than Detail Spraying between clayings?
Thanks!

the claying is imho necessary before each sealant or wax application.
i would probably use only the same brand & product type detailer and
sprayon waxes. ie, won't use ICE then get a Meguiar's spray-on wax.
i don't like mixing brands and product types as it tends to wear off the
product faster and also cause hazing sometimes that takes more work
taking it off.

So what would you recommend with the Ice? Or maybe I should change to the Maguire's detail spray and wax when my Ice runs out?
