I asked the dealer not to clean the exterior, they have a brush system car wash. I do have a pressure washer, soap and everything, I am already washing my Mazda at home.

But how can I add a layer of "something" to even protect the paint more?

Thanks again!

So its basically the more quality time spent detailing your car the longer it will last between time needing to do it again. Wash, clay, wax, there are a lot of new nano waxes out there that are easier to apply.. There is a thread here from glen e that explains it very well. Congrats and good luck...
