Wax definitely helps protect the paint and lack of it may contribute to
higher wear. I like using NuFinish. It's not a wax, and seems to do a great
job of cleaning, shining and protecting the paint. My car is a 1994 GLX and
it goes through New England winters... yet still looks like brand new. I
think the factory paint is actually quite excellent. My car was made in
Germany, which may not mean anything other than the workers are hung over
on Hoffbrau rather than Corona.
