You should consider a clear bra to protect the paint up front where the brunt of chips will occur, esp since your car is still so new. I drove about 900 miles home from picking up my Z and it has a chip already.

An investment in quality products for washing and protecting the paint would also be a good idea for a dark car. I use Zaino products, Griots is also great. There is always the more accessible Mothers/Meguiers products which I've never used.

Lay down cleaner/polish/sealer with a soft/clean pad and always buff with a very soft cotton towel, remove the tags from them too as they will cause marring in the clear coat on a dark car.

Red is almost as bad...

You're gonna love the first sunny day/dry pavement drive!!
