Which combined wash & wax products have you used that give good streak-free results, or is it better to just use a wash product, and then separately wax afterwards?

Sorry folks, I may have mislead you, as what I'm after are recommendations for combined cleaning products such as Hempel Clean & Shine, which you use regularly to wash your boat when it's afloat.

Are such products any good?

I used 3M compound/polish and 3 coats of wax on the hull when the boat was out of the water earlier this year. The topsides just got a quick compund polish. The hull is still sparkling and streak free whereas the topsides are already streaked and dirty after only a few weeks....
 
I used A Glaze Marine Action + cleaner, spraying a 1 to 20 dilution for general, and a 1 to 2 dilution in a dispensing scrubbing brush (great little thing I found in the USA) for ribbed decks and stubborn seagull c**p.

Then finished with A Glaze Speed Finish.

I was very pleased with the results, no streaking, but I do have a white hull, so streaking would probably be less visible than on a coloured hull.
