ICE isnt bad stuff, but it isnt great. I actually also use QD on the interior quite alot, it`s cheaper than buying MQID all the time, and it looks fine.
I would say there are better things than the ICE clay, I have used it, it cleans the surface well, but nothing like a clay would do. You would be better off picking up some #671 Duragloss and topping with #105 and spraying on some AW for a topper.

Those are all Duragloss products. Duragloss, as well as a few other companies, give their products names and product numbers to make it easier to discuss (it`d be a waste of breath to always say, "use Diamond Cut, cover that with Show Car Glaze and finish off with Hi-Tech Yellow Wax" when you could just say, use #80, #9, and then #16 [don`t quote me on Meguiar`s numbers].)
Thus you have Duraglosses` numbers.
671 is a polish to prep the paint for sealants.
105 is their actual sealant. Other DG sealants are 101, a cleaner sealant, and 111, a pure sealant.
AW is Aquawax which is a spray sealant. Its number is 951 but since AW is two characters rather than three numbers, it`s easier to say AW rather than 951.
It`s tough to keep track of numbers but after a while you start to get the hang of it after you start seeing them more and more often. Still, I had to look up more of those numbers.
btw, I`ve found that ICE is indispensable for me for the MDX. Its ease of application and removal is unmatched in its price bracket, although I use the liquid kind. Since I`ve bought some more expensive stuff I use ICE primarily for my trim and it works awesomely for that. The SUV looks good. It`d probably look better with all those products but for the effort put in, it looks a lot better than I would have expected.
