Car Washing and Waxing

Hello all, I have read all that I could on this subject, but have a couple of questions about what should be used.
I am going to Claybaring NEMO with the Meguiars kit.
Then I would like to stay with the same product for the washs and waxing.
Meguiars makes 4 different types of washs, but only three have the liquid waxs.

NXT Generation car wash, Tech Wax, then a spray wax, and a Speed Detailer.

Deep Crystal Car Wash, Deep Crystal Polish, Deep Crystal System Carnauba Wax. (a 3 step system)

Gold Class Car Wash, Shampoo & Conditioner, Liquid Wax Conditioner.

Plus other Quick Detailer, other spray waxes.

Does ever one stay within the same group? Or is it just mix and match?
Any idea of this group would be best in the Hot FL sun and the car never in the shade. My wax at present is not helping, so I am making a change.

Need help if possible. (for NEMO not me I am beyond help)

I use the Meguiars clay bar,then Show car glaze #7, followed by Yellow carnuba wax or liquid deep crystal carnuba wax. It is a sin how nice it shines. Show car glaze gets every bit of the car to shine and when you put wax on top it just shines even more. Dirt just bounces right off. Take my advise you won't be sorry.

I have a business and ill tell you that mixing products can create some fantastic results.

Also carnauba waxes are a dust magnet. #7 like he said above is a decent otc glaze but its heavy on fillers.

Just cause you make one good product does not mean to make other good products.

I like the Mothers Clay bar, wax. But use Meguires also. Washes vary. Zanio also makes excellent waxes/polishes.

I take it as:
You make a good car wash, but not wax. or is it the other way around?
I just wanted to keep it simple when I went shopping, ordering online, and a good product. Now I guess I still need to mix and match.
And Yes I know nothing in Life comes easy, if it does it was not worth it.
Thanks all.

I know alot of people dont like it but I used the Turtle wax ice clay bar and paste wax and was very satified with the results. I got it as a gift and do love it. I use the Detailer spray to keep it shinney!

Does it matter what you use for a WASH?

Yes it does. Some washes are very harsh and will remove your lsp. If you buying over the counter I would probably use Crystal Wash, Gold Class or DG901
