Here's the deal. You post the pictures and we'll tell you.

PICTURES!!!!

YOu don't need to wash it every day. WAit a week or two, then do the whole Zaino process on the car. Apply a coat of wax every weekend. Buy a California Car Duster, and use it to get dust off the car.

Now, PICTURES!

Firstly, was the car forced dry after painting?If it was apply wax as soon as possible,if it was air dried DO NOT wax it yet let it sit 2-3 months.Also if air dried and depending on climate where you are at,it will scratch and water spot very easily.
