Ugh, don't use Dawn on your car, BTW. These people wouldn't know how to take care of paint if their own genitials were made out of them.
Black, if you want to try something that will make your waxes last a little longer (and give a slick, wet look) try Eagle One Wax As You Dry. This will not replace regular waxing, but it will make one wax job go longer.
Here's a link for a Mail In Rebate so you can try it for free.

Interesting thing I found out today was that the people who experienced contaminants comming off their car SO EASILY was because they took it off with some DETAILING SPRAY as soon as they saw it. That wasn't in the instructions. :-/

Clay Bar
tfrog,
Even though your car is new, many times since cars are transferred via rail they get brake dust and other contaminants on them in transport. Paint preparation is the key when it comes to protecting your car's finish. With any paint protection you want to apply it to the cleanest surface possible.
Granted though I'm sure your car was detailed well before you purchased it, I still would recommend claying it. You can buy a clay bar at Walmart for around $10. You can also get one in our 'deluxe kit'.
It will be well worth your time and won't be that labor intensive since your car is new. My dad bought a Nissan Titan and even though it was new, the claying actually did take contaminants off it.
Let me know if you have any more ?'s. Protecting your car from the get-go with 5 Star will be well worth it.

I read MaxBoost review. Is there something I can use with the 5Star if I want it to stay slick? ie. a finishing glaze or something? I'm usually wax my cars every month because I like how slick they are after a new waxing. Although I now have a new baby I don't think I am going to have as much waxing time.
