Protecting Red Paint

Picked up a used Dodge Dakota over the weekend. It was a great buy asI've been looking for a truck.

My question is, how do you protect red paint. I remember in the 70's and 80's, you never wanted to buy a red car due to paint fade. I know paint has improved but living in sunny Colorado (300+ days of high UV sun), I want to make sure I protect the paint. Does any wax work or are there special waxes that I need to use to ensure continued protection. I had once heard that Turtle Wax was good because it goes on thick and leaves a lot of buildup behind (bad for concours, good for protection). Not sure if that is correct.

Any advice?

Michael
