I'm currently mining ETN and bought some ADA. I don't really want to regret anything if it all tanked, so I haven't spent much. Just mining with a rx 580, gtx 970, and AMD 1700!
Any part of the car that is painted should be waxed. The chrome colored grille and the wheels can also be waxed. You can wax the headlights and taillights if you want some protection on them, but it won't really look any different. Non-glossy plastic parts should not be waxed.
I'm currently using one from TaoTronics that I got on Amazon. It was $70 and came with a memory card. It has all the basic features expected from a dashcam.
Even if there was preexisting wax, it would come off after your clay barring. Just give it a good polish after the clay bar and you are set for the sealant. Make sure to follow the directions for your particular sealant.

I used this one. The grille didn't have to come off. I just tucked the vinyl into the edges and then used the razor blade to trim it. It will take a couple tries though, so watch all the youtube videos you...
I decided to clay, polish, and wax the car after neglecting the paint for 2 months. I never used Collinite products before, but heard good things about the wax. It was reasonably easy to apply and remove for a paste wax. I applied it to the paint and wheels and it turned out pretty well. Hope...
I had an Acura TL that had a blue light in the same location as the Civic, but the TL's light was a lot brighter and actually illuminates objects in the center. Not sure why they made the light so dim for the Civic..
They shouldn't be too expensive if it's just oil change and tire rotation. As GAVZ said, they can void you warranty over this. My Civic (turbo) is going to be serviced at around 10000km for the first time, as the maintenance minder told me recently.
When I first got the car, the paint already felt like glass, so it didn't need to be clayed. I don't think a new car should have badly contaminated paint unless the dealer stored it badly.
The paint will likely crack when the dent is popped out. If it does, the car will need paint and blend. It can get up to $3000 if your shop has really high labor rates.
