Should you use a car soap with wax?

Admittedly, I don't do a lot of car care. But if there is one thing I usually keep up on, it's a car wash! Instead of taking it to one of those drive-thrus, I wash it at home. My dad keeps getting on me about waxing it too, but I don't want to do all that work. Is it okay to use a car soap with wax in it?
