Well, after 20+ years in the Automotive business, and owning over 30 cars in my lifetime, I feel pretty qualified to answer this one:

Wash car with car wash, NOT Dawn!
Any compound will work, just dont use POLISHING compound, use RUBBING compound
Once you rub the compound off, then use ANY cleaner/wax the first time to clean the leftover compound off, and leave the first "coat" of wax

Anytime thereafter, use a PURE Carnuba wax; Mothers is excellent, but there are others..
Don't bother with the Wet Shine Spray; you wont need it if you do this right!
Wax at least 3 times per year, and your paint will last forever!

Good luck, and rest your arms up!!!
