I'm new too, but a long time Corvette owner. Visit the Corvette Forum and the polish of choice is ZAINO. Just google it.
Here's my 07 Z06 that was last detailed last Oct and driven all winter
Forgive the slight blurriness as I took this on my cell phone. But you should get the point.
ZAINO is easy to use and lasts a very long time.

The detailers we have as members have their own preferred products, and I try to pay attention to them when they do plug a cleaner, variety of compounds, polish, or wax. As such, I've taken to Meguiar's gold for the soap, their clay bar and buffing compounds, and then use Zaino's polish and synthetic sealer as the final steps. Though I don't do the full range of treatments every time. The list above is usually a once a year deal, usually springtime. Normally, car just gets a bath with the soap and rinse. Spot treatments for bird poo (no bee poo in our area) and road tar is usually taken care of with the Meguiars paint cleaner.

I'd stay away from any dish wash soap (as this can run off, kill grass, and cause harmful consequences to the environment) to wash the car, and always use microfiber towels to dry the car in order to prevent minor swirling or scratching.
Be sure to let us know what you try out, whatever brand it may be!

Congrats on the purchase of your new VDP!!!! awesome choice!
I usually like to ask enthusiasts what their level of car care expertise is.....Just so that I can suggest products that are user friendly and affordable. There is nothing worse that gettings tons of suggestions, purchasing all these products and they end up on a shelf in your cabinet.
There is one product that comes to mind which was released at SEMA 2010 by Meguiar's.....
