Best Quick wax to get?

Best Quick wax to get?
Going to wash the car with some dish soap, dry it, then wax it using an easy to apply wax.
Is that going to do the job? Or is a sealant better?
I don't want to buy a buffer.
I'm making quite a few threads lately..
Any other suggestions welcome, not looking to spend more than $20 on this stuff.
Sealant recommendations welcome as well!

DO NOT USE DISH SOAP TO WASH YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
It is horrible for your paint. Go to your local parts store and buy soap made for cars. Dish soap will do more damage to your paint then wax will recover.
If you are looking to stay under $20 I would either do NuWax or that Meguiars.

Meguires cleaner wax is the ****, easy on easy off by hand. Clean, polish, protect in one step.

Personally I use nothing but Wolfgang waxes. The polymers and oils they use are second to none.

Sealants welcome as well. I don't mind hand buffing I suppose...Want this to be quick though. Will avoid dish soap haha. Thanks for the advice.

Cleaner waxes don't really put any oil/moisture back into your paint. They just help remove all of the sediment that gets on your paint. Follow that cleaner wax with a polish/sealant and it'll be on another level.

Re: Best Quick wax to get?
i use meguiars exclusively. meguiars everything. clay bar, plastix, gold class wax, NXT wax (their quick wax), the cleaner/polish/wax three step, the quick detailer, the interior cleaner, the gold class wash as well as the crystal clear wash (or whatever that one is). i've also tried their professional products, the plastic cleaner, their medium cut polishing compound... i love it all. just have to know what to use and when it's appropriate.
i just never use tire shine products. not until i find one that actually CLEANS grime off the tires instead of just shining up the grime and causing it to brown later. oh and i have also never used glass cleaning products. lil soapy water followed with clean water mixed w/ a bit of vinegar or rubbing alcohol for my windows. i do use Rain-X on the glass.

Got some Meguiar soap or cleaning stuff, a big jug.
Meguiar X Scratch Remover 2.0 thing
A Gumout Fuel System cleaner...Might just return this for a better brand on Amazon..
Got the Meguiar spray on wax stuff for the time being.
I'll try to get before/after pics later this week whenever I decide to clean it

Plus if you search around on some of the more dedicated to detailling forums, they also suggest Meguiars cleaner paste wax as a good beginner wax for regular consumers.
