Hey sigep611, welcome.
You'll not want to put double posts up, annoys people, takes up space. Also, the search feature is helpful. Here are my tips on a black car from a couple of months ago, similar question as yours:
Almost any wax is good, though some are better. Sealants last longer, and make a great base for wax. I don't know Blackfire or Menzerna, but Klasse All-in-One (KAIO/AIO) is great. The Sealant Glaze, though, is difficult to use, and may not be a beginners tool. Here are my tips if you want to keep your car sharp (black is impossible):
1. Always make sure every applicator and microfibre towel is spotlessly clean and without dust--always.
2. Polish as little as you can; wax/seal as much as you can.
3. Wash with the slickest soap, the least harsh chemicals, without letting the car get too dirty.
4. Wash with a grit guard or several buckets.
5. Wash with a lamb's wool mitt--not synthetic or a brush. If you can't do this in winter, pay for it at a shop and watch them do it.
6. Park in safe places that aren't crowded.
7. Wear an apron or don't work on our car with a belt and buttons.
8. Get the plushes mf's and best products you can find. If money is an issue, Natty's Blue is great, preceded by EX-P. If not, go with Souveran; I love them both.

Is there anything specific that I should do/shouldn't, needto/don't need to do with a new vehicle?
After a lot of reading on here and looking around. I think I'll purchase a wolfgang kit. They have a nice discount on them right now and I should be spending so much right now! I bought a car and a house in a two week period! I can't decide which one kit though lol. My paint on my week old car looks pretty good, I'm not sure if I need clay. I don't think my car sat out at the dealer long.
I think I would rather use poorboy, but right now WG is cheaper.
What is good to remove adhesive? I found some stuck to my bumper and a couple other spots. The dealer told me that parts of it are wrapped in plastic when shipped and leaves adhesive. They thought they had cleaned it all off, but apparently not.
