All claybars are made equal. Shop by price. You'll probably only have one or two choices, anyway.
As for waxes that you can find at Autozone, I really like Meguiar's Gold Class paste wax. You don't have to let paste waxes dry, which makes them much easier to remove. That, and it smells great and is polymer based, making it a bit more resistant to the environment. And its under 10 dollars for a can that will last you 15 or so waxings.
Honestly, though, waxes are outdated for the typical car owner because the vast majority only last a month and a half, tops. I'd recommend you pick up some paint sealant one of these days. You can't buy it in most auto stores, though. I use Klasse High-Gloss paint sealant from http://www.topoftheline.com. A lot of my clients really like a layer of the paint sealant followed up by a layer of wax.
You'll want to use either quick detailer or soapy water when using the claybar. It'd be a good idea to work on one section at a time, making sure to dry the area well with some microfiber after you're done. If you do that, you can go straight to waxing.
