Depends on if it is factory alarm or after-market alarm, if it's factory, then it would integrate with the car, and if it does not work, you can go back to the dealer and they will fix it.

For waxing, I assume you are referring to Diamond-Kote or Teflon paint protection, I just let the dealer do it caz they can send the car to the shop from the yard right away without having the car to travel around and contaminate the paint even more.

CompuStar - the most common choice for all types of budget.

About DIY... if you have that amount of time to kill, it's a good idea to DIY. For a complete detail job, min... 6 hours (at least for myself w/ strip, wash, clay, polish/wet-sand, cleaner, wax (2 layers) and carnauba finish/seal)
