Definately wash and wax it, though I disagree with three coats, one is enough.

When you wash the car, wash it by hand (not a carwash) very carefully and using bug & tar remover to remove the bugs and tar. Then wash it again to make sure that the car is actually clean (you'll find that you sometimes miss spots when you wash it just once). Then let it dry (using a shammy if you want), and wax it, anything with carnuba oil is good. Oh, and wash and wax it while it's in the shade, not in the direct sunlight.

Whenever water doesn't bead up on it very well anymore, it's time for another coat. I wash and wax mine about 4 times a year.

when you wash it, you can try adding some simple green in the mix to get rid of oils, grease and old wax. i did that with my black car. zymol did me good for 8 months. i swear my paint still looked brand new (it was 8 months old paint). if you start to develop some kind of sandy feeling on your paint, you can try clay baring.
