GL350
New Car Factory Protectant

My wife's 2012 GL350 was delivered to her on 03/31/2012 and she has enjoyed this vehicle so much more than her Escalade. However, I have been delegated to hand washing her vehicle because of the contaminates to her manicured nails and I won't allow our vehicles to cleaned at an automated car wash.
My question is:

1) When vehicles are transported from the Mercedes factory to dealerships throughout the country, is a wax or protective sealant applied to the vehicle?

2) How long does this wax or protective sealant last?

3) Lastly, what is the best and longest lasting spray wax I can apply to her vehicle without having to put forth the effort of a paste wax?

Thanks
