What soap is best when washing my 1999 BMW dark blue?

After washing im planning on clay baring, polishing, and waxing. Do i have it in the right order? Im planning on using Meguire's product. Should I polish my car? Most people wash it and waxs it. But I think it would be best to do it all. What are the best products when washing your on cars? ThanksWhat soap is best when washing my 1999 BMW dark blue?Using Meguire's I would get a orbital buffer and use #9 swirl remover. Then wax over that. Any dark car will show small micro scratches in the paint due to the small dirt partials that grind over the finish with each swipe of the wash mit, this is a way swirls get into the finish. Also try and only go one direction when swiping the wash mit. Don't do any circles. For the wash soap I don't waste money with expensive soap since it will do no better of a job than a cheap car wash soap. I use Turtle Wax car was soap and I dump in a whole bunch instead of the one cap full recommendation.
I once owned 3 profitable detail shops at one time and we didn't use anything but water and a mit since the whole car was getting polished anyways but if there was a bucket of soap and water around we would use that. For simple wash N wax service I bought whatever the cheapest soap the supplier had.
Waxing does not put on a shell of wax what waxing does is saturate the paint/clear coat with petroleum oil products so you never use any soap that has the ability to break down oil. . So when waxing do not go right up to the end of the paint stay a little bit away from cracks and edges. This way you get a full coverage and eliminate wax in the cracks syndrome. Any of you are going to use trim shiner/conditioner put that on before you do wax. A little detailer thing is to apply a paste wax with a wet down applicator then paste wax right on top of that. It just works..What soap is best when washing my 1999 BMW dark blue?Both Meguiars and Mother's make very good products for car care. Both offer a combination "Cleaner/Wax" which would eliminate a step. Whatever product you select for washing whether Armorall, Blue Coral, Mother's, etc, be sure it's specifically made for car washing. Dishwashing products such as Dawn, Joy, etc, are to be avoided because they strip whatever wax finish presently on the car (unless that's what you intend to do, then following up with a complete waxing).
