Most car wash detergents will work fine unless it expressly stated that it is meant as a pre wax treatment.
Personally I use this: Meguiar's G17748 Ultimate Wash and Wax - 48 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00353PWAW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ky0mzbEV7E4A0
It has a waxy compound in it, so it adds additional protection.... And it smells great.

Is it ok to use this shampoo on my car's windows?
> What kind of soap should I use?
Any regular cheapo car wash soap. DON'T use the wash + wax products though they're pretty much shit.
> Is Armour All a good choice for the dash?
No, it's a crappy product. In my experience using a bit of warm water and a dedicated vinyl cleaner have worked well.
> What should I use on the wheels?
A separate car wash mitt and separate soapy bucket from your body washing bucket.
> Should I just use old towels to dry, or is there something better?
No, go to autozone and stock up on towels, and get a couple paper bags to separate the towels by function. Only use your drying towel for drying, your waxing towel for waxing, glass towel, and interior towels. Do not mix these up, you wouldn't want to wipe wax or vinyl cleaner all over your windshield.
> Is it safe to use my power washer (electric) on my car, or is it too strong?
Mostly likely too strong. I know guys who peeled paint on their bumper doing it.
> Are there any techniques for making the wash faster/easier/better?
Just keep up with regular cleaning maintenance and it will be easier. Do the full cycle of wash, clay, and wax your car about twice a year, and it will be easier on you every time.
Yes, this
As said I wouldn't let it drip dry and streak. Also would never use actual rub-on wax.
Paint might look a little more flat with using only windex, but it definitely doesn't leave it shiny or anything. And it does a way better job.
