I used Meguiar's Gold Class wash, and their liquid wax. Since our car is silver, we won't get as much of a deep shine, but rather a nice metallic shine. I've heard that Meguiar's NXT wash and wax is good for lighter colors, and just colors in general. Either way, you can't really go wrong. Be sure to clay the car though, especially in the "fang" ducts in the grille. Because it's closed, crap gets stuck in there. Go generous on the wax in there too.
