No, no real reason, but I'd be interested in which one you end up with. There is a pretty decent size thread around here about the best wax. Of course there is a ton to choose from.
Did you get the Meguiars clay bar kit? I used it about two weeks ago. Comes with two clay bars, polish, wax, and a towel!

I can hear the Zaino guys warming up now!

You should of used the clay bar first. The clay bar will remove the wax. You are going to have to wax your car again.

Yes, while clay is designed to remove above surface bonded contaminants, clay will also remove some wax protection from the surface. We strongly recommend following the claying process with a coat of wax for maximum gloss and protection.
