Isn't that the truth. I am just ready to start running mine through car washes. Yeah, there goes the paint.

I had a customer with that color on a brand new Camry bring it back because three trips through her local (spinning brush) car wash had really messed it up. It took me 3 hours of careful polishing to make it perfect again. Don't make the same mistake.
will something like the turtle wax ceramic stuff help?

It will help, but not nearly as much as a true ceramic coating. (Note, the spray on / rinse off stuff that claims to "use ceramic technology" isn't a real ceramic coating and doesn't offer nearly the protection.) That said, the spray on stuff is generally better than old fashioned wax.

The big thing one has to remember is that every single time you touch your paint, at some (generally microscopic) level, you are marring it. You may not see the marring right away, but the effects are cumulative and will show up someday. And you may not even notice the effects until you get your paint professionally polished / corrected. But when you do get it corrected, it will look like a whole new color.

Ah yes, Science™ tells us that by observing an object you interact with and subtly alter it and its location...so my baby blue is named "Heisenberg"

Looks great! Nautical blue is such a good color. Especially on the TRDOR.

It is a great color.

I only wanted that color, and back when I got mine, it was a bit hard to get in combination with the other options, saw it advertised while I was on a business trip, bought it before it even got to the dealer, traded my car in and drove the new 4runner home.
