2006 Ocean Race ... some questions...new owner V70-XC70

So...here's some more questions:
1. Paint protection- The finish on my 2006 was very well cared for. We are approaching winter here in NY...no garage. What finish protection do you all use...It has to last the winter, as I am NOT waxing the car in the snow! AND...what do you remove white wax from the black bumpers with? I hate to have to tape off the car before waxing.
2. Any way to have the Park Assist with an aftermarket radio? I can hear that the beeping comes out of the speakers.
3. I heard of someone cutting out the splash pan to have access to the oil filter/ plug so that it does not need to be removed every oil change. Any word on this? Seems to let road debis in the cutout. BUT...it would be nice to not have to remove the pan every time....lazy.
4. What is the final word on maintaining the finish on the black plastic bumpers? Mine are in good nick, just want to maintain them with the upcoming salt and rains.
