RE: wax
Don't buy the stuff at the store, it won't make a difference. Go to http://www.detailyourcar.com and that's where I get all my stuff from. It removes all the dirt in the pores of the paint from rail dust to pollution from following another vehicle. Once you're done wax it to seal all the pores in the paint. For best results, wash your car and wipe the whole car down with wax and tar remover. It'll leave the paint smooth as glass.

RE: wax
You won't mess up your paint. just get some Mothers, or Meguiars wax and a 100% cotton cloth and towl. Or you can get the cloth for waxing. Wash the car with mild soap, dry, wipe the wax on (in the shade) let it dry, then wipe off. You may need a soft tooth brush to get the wax from the cracks and moldings.

Yea it is as easy as that... and you will be amazed at the look of your car when all said and done. Since you never did it before you may wanna think about clayingit and do a 3 step wax, takes more time but it will improve the overall smoothness and shine.
