For the first 2 months or so (while the paint cures/outgasses) use something that's fresh-paint-friendly such as Meguiar's #3/#5/#7/#81/Deep Crystal Step #2, Mothers Glaze, or 3M's Imperial Hand Glaze. Don't use a wax or sealant or the paint won't cure right and thus will not attain optimal hardness.
Thanks for the reply. So, after my car is painted, I should one of the products listed above. Is there one that you recommend? I would really like my car to have a nice, deep high glossy shine. I don't know if it matters, but it is getting repainted the factory color, which is G62-P, a darker green.

How long should I wait until I use the glaze? I have never applied glaze, would I do it like a polish or wax? I do have a porter cable polisher as well.

Thanks again for the help. I am just starting to really get into detailing.
