A couple of suggestions. Read the posts on how to wash/detail your car. I thought I knew how until I read it. The paint is rather sensitive. I use all Meguires products. A good coat or 2 of the second generation wax & the times you wash & don't wax, use the detail spray. Wow does it shine then & bugs/gunk just don't stick to it as much. If you haven't yet, add mud guards. I had 3 chips in my paint in 1 month before getting them & none since. They were much cheaper from a GM parts place through e-bay than the local dealer quoted me & pretty easy to install. If you really want to protect your paint, invest in a clear bra coating. I am saving up to get it done & my windows tinted. It is barely visable if professionally done & will really save your paint.
