couple layers of wax and you should be good to go ..
I would clay the paint prior tho, even if u dont see a lot of grime, it will help the wax bond to the paint better. polish before waxing would be the way to go.. but if u dont have an orbital its gunna be a pain in the ***.

agreed...don't just wax!
i usually go overboard about paint looking good but if i were you i would
1. wash with dawn
2. use bug/tar remover and get off all you can
3. rinse again
4. claybar (can be done during wash with soap as lube)
5. polish
6. wax, two coats
Then you have a clean slate and in the future you can just polish/wax or just wax as you see fit... (though i always end up polishing and touching up claybar work anyway...)

OH OH I KNOW
03 should still be clayed.
Clay
Polish
Sealant (klasse AIO)
If ya want, you can add two layers of any carnuba wax on top of that. But i would def use a sealant for winter. Carnuba wax alone wont last as long. IMO

Theres different types of polish. I dont mean for him to use anything abrasive
Guess the real term should be Glaze. I have a bad habit calling it polish.
Something like a swirl remover works or somthing that will be a cleaner. But if he uses Klasse AIO then he can skip that since its a cleaner as well.
Eric, just get Klasse All-In-One. After claying then add Klasse (its a cleaner-sealant) and you should be good to go. Add carnuba if ya want after.<ul><li><a href="http://www.properautocare.com/kla-16.html">http://www.properautocare.com/kla-16.html</a</li></ul>
