I'd say use the NXT wax. You've essentially got two wax's (The NXT and Gold Class) that have a bit of cleaner in them too, and the Megs Step 3 which is just wax.

Personally I'd add a polish in there after the clay, something like Autoglym SRP is readily available and easy & effective to use by hand. Then top up with the Megs Step 3 Carnuba wax.

The process I normally follow is as follows, basically complete and set up for Swissol/Swissvax treatments (it also includes mahine polishing but thats how I work 99% of the time);

Wheel cleaning
Arch cleaning
Lower half spray clean
Pressure wash rise
Foam wash and PW rinse
Foam wash and mitt then PW rinse
Tar removal/Contaminant removal/Clay bar
Measure paint thickness including on composite panels (normally over 200 readings taken)
Machine polish to remove/reduce swirls etc
Paint Cleanse (Swissol)
Carnauba wax
Dress trim/seals etc
Clean and wax shuts
Dress arches
Wheel sealant
Clean and polish glass
Dress tyres
Polish exhaust tips/chrome

After this I've normally been working 8+ hours and a few coffee's and food are needed
