Getting started on a new car?

I have a couple of questions about a brand new G37S coupe (black). The dealer applied a sealant on it when delivered (just a regular sealant not a paint product).

What should be the first steps for a new car? Just wash and then wax?
Wash, clay and then wax?
or wash, clay, seal, then wax?

Thanks for any advice.

One other thing, what do you use for the interior metal trim?

The one in bold is the recommended process for a new car. But since you are taking your G to MacDetailing, all that will be done for you.

What GC said on the first part. And on the washi trim, I can't imagine it getting really "dirty" unless you are using your G to haul livestock around. Inside I generally just use a damp microfiber towel to wipe down all interior surfaces.
