Hold off on waxing for now, but spray it with a hose and quality car washing soap all you want!

You can wash it all you want, but like S2Kracka said, hold off on the wax for the first 3 months or so. also, the quality of the soap doesn't matter much, but just make sure you get the water off with a soft shamois otherwise you'll have little scratches all over it.

Quality of the soap greatly effects the shine properties of the paint. Meguiar's Gold Class is the best easily available wash I have found so far. Meguair's NXT paste wax is really tough to beat too. It shines better than Gold Class paste wax, but doesn't last as long. For drying, I personally use a California Water Blade followed by a waffle-weave microfiber towel. Cotton never touches my car.

If it's a good quality clearcoat it doesn't really matter what soap you use on it, just what you're using to wash and dry it with. from my personal expierence, those california waterblades are crap. I find that they're hard to get into tight places and bodylines can be a bitch to get dry as well. Although, I do like microfiber towels.
