Default best wash and wax product

I have read many threads and there are different opinions on the best wash and wax product.
I have an older, 2001, ls430 and would like to take the easiest way to produce a clean car.
I just purchased a power washer and would like to know is there a product that can be sprayed on that will remove dirt without hand scrubbing?
Too much to ask?
I am using Purple Power car wash with carnuba wax.
I spray it on and let it sit and then use a sponge to wash the car.
I just purchased Mothers California Gold with carnuba wax because it has been mentioned often as a good product.
Are there special cleaners for power washers that will remove daily dirt without using a sponge?
Thank you for the help..

Add a quality random polisher, clay bar to your list and more importantly patiently dedicate 10 - 14 hours for interior, exterior, engine bay and under chasis.

It's not about best wax or polish--it's all about preping the paint surface. Regular wash and spray wax, Chemical Guys V7 my favorite, will do the trick thereafter, assuming you have quality MF towels.
