My recommendation would be tell the dealer not to wash the Ext. of the truck. I would wash yourself , claybar , polish & wax. After it cure's you can add multiple coat's if your using synthetic wax/polymer based product. If you using a pure carnuba there is no need for a 2 coat except to get better coverage. Carnuba wax does not last but give's a great glow. If you use carnuba , find one you like and use it every couple week's, you should be ok.
I personally use a spray type carnuba/polymer blend that work's awsome and last's longer than many paste carnuba waxes. Be really into detailing I use , sell and test alot of product's , MF towel's ect... I'm no expert just giving you my opinion's.
As far as what type of product's to use , that's all up to you. There are alot of thing's on the web and alot of pretty decent thing's out now at your local auto store like NXT , Eagle One , ect.... I would recommend getting plenty of microfiber towel's .
What color you have also make's a difference in what type of wax,polish , sealant you use. Some product's hide imperfection's in dark color's better than other's.
Any ?'s let me know , I'll try to help

Yea,
I got a new truck about 3 weeks ago. '06 Black SR5. . So far, from my arsenal, i've clayed with Clay Magic, I was very happy with the finish after polishing with Optimum Polish. I then went into my ClearKote line of "Moose" products. Vanilla Moose, followed by the Red Machine Glaze, all topped with teh Carnuba Moose Wax. Wish I had my digi camera, but i'll be in Houston next week and will take some pics there. I apply all my products with a Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher and a variety of pads from ExcelDetail.com.
Really though, once you have the finish you want, the key is all in how you wash. I started with the 2 bucket method with a THICK sheepskin washmit. As for drying, i use my leaf blower. Finally, i have a Waffle Weave drying towel for some nooks and crannies. Also have a couple of old microfibers for the jambs.
Hope this helps, let us know if oyu have any other ?'s. Also, I frequent www.autopia.org with questions, as that's where MANY of the Pro's post.
