First, you use this product on your freshly painted surface. This will smooth out the unevenness of your paint. Instructions is on the product, but DO NOT use this product in a circular motion.

After this, you clean your car with a dry clean cloth to remove any of the turtle wax prodcuts. After you used the products above, simply use Zaino's wax and apply at least 5 layers on it before driving the car on the street. Use this wax in a circular motion.

You really ought to leave this up to a professional. A fresh paint job will still be soft. If you don't know what you are doing you could do a lot of harm. How much is he going to charge you to buff it out? If it is less than $100, let him do it.

Nope. He's going to color-sand it. After its cured (usually about 24-48 hours MAX), use 1600 grit sandpaper over new painted surfaces just lightly, then he will go ver the areas with a buffer, using light compound, then maybe some swirl-remover, butter wax to protect the area he polished (it won't be protected if he doesn't.

Then you can wax it all you want.
