Question New white truck - what do I need to do?

I purchased a 2008 GMC Serria 3500 black truck in December. A few weeks ago the truck was at the dealer for service. While there, they scrubbed the truck with a brush and scratched the paint and clearcoat. 2 trips to the detail resulted in a lot of the scratches being protected and the addition of swirls. So the dealer is trading the vehicle for a new one.

The new truck is white. I want to know what I can do to help protect the paint as well as enhance the luster or shine (yeah, I know that white is a boring color, but the experience with the black truck has put me off of color for a whole). I am really interested in protecting the paint and color since the new vehicles seem to have less paint than ever.

One local detail shop recommended a teflon protectant. My poking around the internet has me intersted in the Ultima products, Mequiar's, and Zaino.

I do not want a product that requires endless hours of detailing the vehicle to maintain the finish. So I am hoping that those of you that use this type of product every day can help guide me in the best product for my needs.

Thanks, Charles
