Is the paint fresh, or did they say to wait 60-90 days? Usualy paint needs that time to cure before you can wax it. You can use a paint cleaner, and polish, like #80, to give it some protection till it is fully cured.
Will you be working by hand, or looking into a PC?
You will want to use the usual 5 step process:
1. Wash
2. Clay as nessacery
3. Clean
4. Polish
5. Wax - 2 thin coats
then use spray wax after washings if you want.
The exact products for each step will depend on hand/PC application.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue -

Welcome to Meguiar's Online!
If the paint is brand new, you can safely wash it with any of our car washes as they are all safe for fresh paint and you can polish it with any of of our pure polish or our M80 Speed Glaze.
What are you currently doing with the car?
Driving it?
Leaving it parked in a garage?
How does the finish look when you inspect it in full sun?
