I would highly recommend using the Klasse System (All-In-One and Sealant Glaze). This is a polymer wax that gives an amazing shine, but the best feature is that it is easy to apply and remove and lasts for months!

For the wash, I would use Meguires Gold Class Car Shampoo

Then start with Klasse AIO. I would use a microfiber applicator and apply just a very thin coat. You don't even have to wait for it to dry. I would cover a panel, then immediately wipe off with a terrycloth towel.

The Sealant Glaze requires VERY small amounts. You basically want a layer so thin that you can barely tell its there, otherwise its a little harder to buff off (though still less effort than usual carnauba waxes).

I would wax my car twice per year (once in spring and once in fall). With this regimen, my car would always be easier to wash (and the water beaded year round).
