Exactly. I have clients whose cars I detail from the moment then take delivery - I do the new car prep (instead of the dealer), I wash them weekly or bi-weekly, polish them bi-yearly and keep a sealant/wax applied as needed. Having one trusted person maintain the car (of course as the owner you could be that person) using proper washing techniques and tools will keep the amount of marring you get to a bare minimum in between polishing sessions.
There are good detailers all over the US (mobile ones too), find one, give him a hug, and let him love your car...
