Using polish on new paint

It has been about a week and 1/2 since I recieved my camaro back from the paint shop. I am getting sick of the huge water spots(2" wide) and how quickly-dirty the car gets. (color is polo-green metallic) Can I use zaino polish on it yet? I want that mirror shine to be just a little clearer! If I can, what products should I order from the zaino site. Please be specific. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The paint is a base/clearcoat gm paint.

I waited nearly a month before polishing my paint... some people would say I was impatient as well.

i use wizards polish and its breathable so you can use it like 24hrs after painting , you can also use nufinish since its a polish and not a wax . You dont want a wax since its not breathable and nto good for new paint .

I said polish not wax. And no, I haven't put any on the car and do not plan on it. That's why I said polish.

The paint was baked on but i still leave the car out in the sun hoping it'll cure better. I just want away to make it look cleaner.

Might try that. They sell that stuff where I work(autozone) so 20% discount!
