I've never cleaned my car, and that needs to change. I don't want to spend $40 at the "real" car wash that pays its people minimum wage, nor do I want to go through the $7 automatic car wash at the gas station that I've heard is awful for my paint.
So, I would prefer to use an all-in-one wash&wax product, because I'm super lazy and don't have time to actually wax the car after I wash it. I plan to wash my car about once a month.
These are the two products I am considering, both are a similar price.

Now, my questions are, what should I use for actually washing the car? At O'Reilly there are like dozens of different options for both washing and drying, and there are even more on Amazon. For washing, there are like actually sponge things, or a microfiber wash pad, or chenille wash mitts... I'm having a heck of a time picking something with all those choices. And for drying there are microfiber drying towels, synthetic absorbers, actual shammies, way too many options...
What do you guys like? What works and what doesn't? I'm basically looking for reasonably priced stuff that's easy to use and will not harm my vehicles because I plan to keep these ones for a while.
Thanks!
