Dunno if you have meguiars where you are but they have a fairly cool "prescription" website where you tell them whats up with your ride and they prescribe products to help you out.
DONT go to the U.S meguiars it has more questions than applying for a job at the secret service and more aimed at marketing.

This AUS one is much better:

An excerpt of a prescription below.

Surface Prep.
Even though your paintwork is in new/like-new condition, it will still need a surface prep step to correct the imperfections you told us about and to maximize the clarity of the finish. Some of these imperfections can often be stubborn to completely remove. We recommend MEGUIARS SCRATCH X which is a mildly abrasive formula that's totally safe for prepping a new/like-new finish. This product will dramatically improve the finish, but may not be aggressive enough to completely solve the problem. Scratch X is best applied using a Meguiars Hand Applicator Pad, then wipe-off with a Meguiars Polishing Towel to avoid any surface scratching. You will only need to repeat the process if & when the same problems reoccur.
Polish
You told us that you are looking for the best possible finish & you're prepared to put in the necessary time & effort. This individual polish step will maximize the depth of colour and clarity of your dark paintwork. To dramatically deepen gloss & intensify colour use MEGUIARS Deep Crystal POLISH. Apply using Meguiars Hand Applicator Pad, then wipe off with a Meguiars Polishing Towel to avoid any surface scratching. Follow with a protection step. Since a polish is part of a two step system, it should always be reapplied prior to using your wax.
Protect
Polishing maximizes the colour & shine but a Wax is needed to keep the finish that way, by protecting it from the elements. To preserve the shine after polishing & enhance gloss even further, we recommend MEGUIARS Deep Crystal CARNAUBA WAX. Apply using a Meguiars Hand Applicator Pad to the entire car and allow to dry to a haze. Wipe off with a Meguiars Polishing Towel. Considering your time & appearance goals and the fact that your car isn't outdoors too much, we recommend you reapply every 3 or 4 months.
