After looking a little bit in google I could not find anything that answer my question with the type of car wash soap that I bought.
Recently I bought the Turtle Wax T-146R F21 Car Wash, but when I start drying it, I didnt feel the "smoothly" surface again. What type of wax should I can buy for protect the paint of my new corolla using this kind of car wash?
Should I need to buy another car wash soap that include a wax? If I use a was separtely what good it is, and how often it is needed.
This is my really new brand new car and I want to protect it, thanks!
It's not smooth because there are contaminants on the surface. In order to get a smooth surface you'll need to clay bar the whole vehicle. There is a sticky at the top of the Detailing forum to help you out with that.
Maybe you ought to consider using a hose-spray wax when you wash your car. This way, you can shoot your car/rims, and dry it off. Good for basic maintenance.

Many companies had to drop entire lines of car wax products; some had to re-engineer their products. There are some others who are ignoring the regulations until sanctions are imposed against them. There is a revolution taking place in the car wax industry and it’s about time!
Wax doesn't remove the contaminants, it's a protectant. If you re-read my post above, I suggested you use an automotive clay bar to remove contaminants. Wax should be the very last step you do.
must be a crappy wash/wax product. after a few months of my tacoma getting filthy dirty i take it to a local car wash, then i use Turtle Wax "ICE" product (a synthetic product) and the truck is smooth as glass and towels slide like a puck on ice. on my cars i use Eagle One "Wax As U Dry" product regularly to keep it shining and protected. the Turtle Wax spritz wax also works well as a weekly product, etc. and definitely clay bar it then wax if you want the deepest shine. Zano makes a really nice bar/wax kit.
