I use Meguiar's Gold car wash with cold water, and clean gently around the decals. It also smells like synthetic banana, and is yellow, so double the fun and works great. If the paint is really dull, I'll use some polish to bring out the finish, and then buffer it before applying a thin coat of preserving wax. Applying wax is my favourite part.
