Sonus, 1Z Perls Gloss, and Menzerna are my three favorites.
SONAX Was my favorite but is no longer available in the USA. Yes that's my last bottle of it. NO IT'S NOT FOR SALE!!

Washing-up liquids should not be used on a regular basis for vehicles bodywork as their concentrated detergent soaps and usually high sodium / high alkaline (pH 8.0) content will emulsify, breakdown and leach out oils naturally found in your paint, and also any oils you have applied in the way of a polish or glaze.
Generally avoid the use of household cleaning products for automotive detailing as they are formulated for an entirely different type of cleaning.

I see you are from New Jersey. If you ordered the soap today before 3pm (e.s.t.)from Autopia, and used U.S.P.S Priority for the shipping. You will get your package on Wednesday.
Believe me I live in Massachusetts. I know how long it takes.

I'd highly recommend Eagle One Wet Car Wash, which is available locally at any major chain store. I got mine for $4.99 for a gallon at my local Pep Boys. You simply can't beat this stuff! It produces mounds of suds!!!
My other favorite is Meguiar's Gold Class, which is available at Target for about ten dollars a gallon. It leaves a nice sparkling finish and definately improves the gloss.
Hope this helps and happy washing!
