The big step is hand washing the car yourself. No one will take better care of your car than you. Get a good microfiber wash mitt, a soap that won't remove the coating (something like Carpro Reset) and good microfiber towels (I use Rag Company) to dry the car.
After that, it becomes how much do you want to spend. You can go all in with a pressure washer and foam gun. You can spray a topper coat at the end. Various ways to really wash the wheels, this is the hardest part. But if you are in the Chicago area, you are running out of time to wash the car outside. Then you need to consider potentially a rinseless wash like Optimum. As I said, it all depends how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go.
