Some very nice looking C5s posted in the thread. I used Turtle Wax Ice on the C5s I had.

It's important to wait a few weeks after new paint before you wax or seal the car. This lets impurities or contaminants to work their way out. It's also a good idea to clay bar before waxing in this situation as well.

Yes, yes, and yes. 
Bead Maker is like Frank's Red Hot Sauce. And the Colorlock is such a great liquid wax. I actually prefer it over just about any other. I corrected my neighbor's blue Toyota Tacoma and did a coat of Collinite 845 followed by a coat of Colorlock the next day. It looked amazing. Jescar knows what they are doing!

I bought this car last year and the paint had not been well cared for. Lots of scratches and some acid burns on the hood which had to be repainted because of it. I did an at home paint correction on the entire car. Applied Adams Cermaic coat and then Bead Maker. Looks like a new car front to back. People are usually amazed it’s a 21 year old factory job.
