Congratulations on your new ride. Everybody has there own favorite products. They will argue till the day they die that the one they use "is the best".
I think it is a matter of personal experience and preference.
I like some of the Meguiar's products, I like some of the Eagle products. I like free products.
It's what you like. Be adventuresome and reach and try something.

A nice spelling program?

Seriously................best idea is to go ahead and search this forum for each item you listed. There are too many opinions but then you can make your own decision based on what you read.

I used to be die-hard Zaino but realized they didn't have what I wanted so I switched to other lines of stuff. Here's what I use:
Mostly Chemical Guys:

Wax- I use a a sealant called JetSeal runs about $40/16oz
Wash - Citrus Wash n Gloss via foam gun...simply amazing
Rims - To clean P21S Rim cleaner you can get a Harley shop and then sealed with CG Wheel Sealant
Leather - Danase Leather Rx - conditions, cleans and protects
Dash - Matt spray from CG for a matte shine or silk shine is you want a shinier shine
Windows - SprayWay glass cleaner.

...above all invest in some really good microfiber towels from chemical guys, danase, or pakshak...do some reading up on 2 bucket washing method...cheers

Here's what other's use...

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-show-shine-26/what-car-care-products-do-you-use-107746/

Not sure the condition of your paint but I'd follow dying here 's recommendation after a good wash and clay barring. Klasse Twins are Klasse All In One and Klasse Seal Glaze. You may be happy with Klasse AIO alone. You will not be dissapointed with AIO and SG for their ease of use and durability. I have yet to add P21S or any other quality wax and my VR sparkles. For me waxing takes too much effort, for others they say wax gives that final touch to perfection.

You can read about these products, just google klasse.

Zaino is also very well liked but Klasse has worked well I see no need to try Zaino.

If you are on a budget, get any decent OTC car soap, Klasse AIO, and microfiber towels. 70%-80% of the shine comes from here vs just washing alone.

If you got money use Zymol. Zaino is very popular.

Yup, this thread mentioned a couple posts above will answer many of your questions. After reading through many threads in this forum, I tried using Zaino. Amazing stuff, but somewhat time consuming to get started. Then no problem with keeping the car clean and shiney with a quick wash/dry.

This is also why I don't feel the urge to go with Zaino. Not that it's not a great product, it truly is.

Klasse is just easy to use. WOWO.
