Most of the car has been repainted so its in good shape. Thats why the three products you had listed sounded really appealing to me.
How do you think these would fair together?
Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish (a glaze that adds a lot more gloss to your paint) - in one word, awesome
Chemical Guys Butter Wet liquid wax 16oz
Chemical Guys Synthetic detailer 16oz - best detailer on the market - includes sprayer
Chemical Guys Maxi Suds car wash gallon +$16 (similar to the HDM) - includes hand pump
Foaming sprayer - works with your hose, no power washer needed

I remember that you know Lee - his partner, Greg is the detailing king of central NJ - at least for the exotic car crowd, excellent source of product information... I stop over once in a while to shoot the breeze.
Those products work great together - in fact Chemical Guys has a few videos where there put those products on a car (in a row).
I use the Wet Mirror myself and have sold a lot of them - results speak for themselves 1000x over. The 16oz bottle will last 30 to 50 applications, it is put on very thin.

While not a fan of liquid wax, the CG offering is as good as the Griot's - just easier to remove. I am a big fan of sealants (which are typically only liquid) and the result is just as awesome.

Synthetic detailer is the best I have ever used in terms of being streak free and it does not stain glass, metalwork, or plastic/rubber. Works on every color car/bike/truck. I swear I only use 1/4 ounce to detail a car after a wash - very economical!

CG soaps are awesome in general - the maxi suds is super concentrated, so a gallon lasts 125 washes (1oz per wash) and is perfect for the foam gun or even just a bucket. You can also use a foam cannon that attaches to a power washer if you ever want to get one.
I have a foam gun that we use in the shop - it will work with any soap, but excels with ones that give a lot of suds - like the Honeydew snow foam and Maxi Suds. Put an ounce of soap and add another 20oz of water, shake it up and run your hose to cover the car with cleansing foam. The video below shows a Gilmour, which operates the same way.
