Most of the stuff in stores aren't that good. Even Meg's has a lineup you rarely see in stores. The waxes and materials available in store, while there are exceptions, is somewhat of a hassle to find out which ones actually work. If you go to the Adams' website or Detailers Domain, you know just about all the products they have is high quality stuff. I'm not just saying this because they sponsor this site, I've tried stuff from them and everything works as they say. If anything, I've saved money. I no longer have bottles of unusable products on my shelf.
Here's some stuff I use or have used in the past the yielded great results.

Adam's Car Wash Shampoo w/Adam's wash pad
