I have my regular shampoo that i use for my own car , and an almost full bottle of that liquid wax that i bought just because it was on clearance dirt cheap.

Would mixing the two cause any problems?

I saw that spray wax at the auto parts store and thought it's so cheap i might aswell give it a go and yeah it does something but it isn't exactly spectacular, i'm never really gonna finish using it probably, unless i use it as a quick detailer or something, and storage is a bit of a problem here where i live, i want to get rid of as much unnecessary crap i don't really need.

My car has single stage paint, recently painted in July and i applied a CQ UK 3.0 Cerqmic coating to it after letting the paint fully cure etc.
 
Try a small batch first.
I mixed two kinds of liquid hand soap once, and it turned watery. You just never know how the additives will react with each other.

I'll give it a go in a spot that is not too visible and see what happens.
I already tried mixing a little bit of the two in a small bottle, and shaked it well and it seems to make plenty of foam and i rubbed it between my fingers and the lubricity is certainly there.
 
I believe mixing the two would cause problems.
Shampoo is a soap with surfactants, foaming agents and likely grease cutters.
Adding a wax will will make a mess. Use them separately.
Find another way to clear your shelves.
