Re: new car, what to do?
If you are happy with the finish then you can add a coat of your favorite wax or sealant. If you think it needs to be clayed and polished then you have that option. Some new cars do end up getting swirled at the dealer.

Re: new car, what to do?
I would for sure use a fine clay. I've done plenty new cars that have accumulated debris while sitting on the dealer lot. As for the swirls that may have been added by the "lot washer", maybe you got lucky and this one was just produced and shipped to the dealer? Check the build date inside your drivers door jamb if curious. Have you seen any of the spider web light scratches while looking at the sun reflections on your car? Definitely put on your favorite wax/sealant asap, even if you're not ready to tackle any swirl removal yet.John @ HillCityAutoDetail.com

Re: new car, what to do?
I almost forgot to mention that you have the option to use an all in one aka cleaner wax and top with your favorite wax or sealant. The new Meguiar's 3 in 1 has lite abrasives in it which can correct some swirls. Claying will induce some kind of marring so don't use too much pressure.

A polish will also remove any defects but it will impart gloss as well.
