I requested that the dealer no twash or wax my car before pick-up, i will wax it as soon as I get home. My question is what kind of washing detergent should I use before I wax.

Do not use any detergent on your car. Detergent will totally strip your paint of any protection, and dry out the paint, and when you wax it, you won't be able to get to certain areas so they'll be unprotected. I use Zymol Clear Auto Bathe--not cheap, but it lasts a long time:
