Default New 04 Z owner! Questions on Z.

I've been looking for a 350z for a good three months. Finally, the search is over! I bought a 2004 350z Touring with 72,000 miles in Redline.

From experience, I know red fades faster than most colors. I want to do my best to protect the paint.
What kind of wax should I used?
Any tips on keeping the paint fresh for years to come?

The dealership did an oil change and replaced the tires.
What other type of maintenance should I do since the car has 72,000 miles?
Any suggestions on the auto transmission fluid I should use?
What type of motor oil/filter should I use?

I'm getting some wind noise only on the driver's side window area. Any fixes?

My plan right now is to get the Z into tip top shape.

Thinking about doing the following within the next two weeks:
Transmission fluid change
Coolant Flush
Replacing window seal (wind noise)
Detailed to remove fine scratches

Transgo Valve Body upgrade. Only way to redeem yourself for buying an automatic instead of manual.
