what color is the car? Also, to bring out the best of a new car paint finish, buffing/polishing is needed first due to the orange peel that comes from the factory, unless its a high end car.

The thing is, I dont wanna polish. Its pretty smoothe, but I think wax in general sucks. it looses its properities after like 1 week in the sun and all lol.

not sure what you mean by "wipe". if its dusty/dirty, use a good car wash soap or a waterless car wash like optimum no rinse.

then yes, a sealant then wax. nothing over-the-counter will make it shine like something that is bought online.

that sealant that i listed above is 40 bucks, then if you want to top it off with a carnuba paste wax like poorboys world nattys red paste wax, that thing will look so deep. unless you got money to burn then get pinnacle signature series two wax.
