As far as retail products Turtle Wax ICE Spray Wax or Seal N Shine are the best. As far as washing the car I would recommend Optimum No Rinse (the blue one, this is designed to be a rinseless wash product may want to read up on it), Optimum Car Wash, Adams Car Shampoo, P&S Pearl, Meguiars Hyper Wash.

Since I am lazy and am very sure my car will never be at Pebble Beach, I mostly just wash my car with a good shampoo (when the weather is nice and I can use a hose/bucket) or spray on wash when the weather is not so nice (cold). For quick cleaning touchups I use detailing spray.
When the water stops beading nicely, I consider waxing. If I am lazy, I use spray on wax which will delay the real waxing for a few weeks. If I want to go the waxing route, I use cleaner wax on my single stage paint cars and one step sealer on my basecoat/clear coat cars.
Every few years, I will go whole hog and do the wash, clay bar, compound, wax/sealer route.
For me, I have a local fellow that sells the Griots Garage (
www.griotsgarage.com) products. He lets me try them before I buy them and has lots of good advice on their use.
If you want to go whole hog, the Car Care Specialties web site has all kinds of articles on how to go about caring for your car. They are too serious for me.
