After paint work is done, you shouldn"t use any silicone based products on the car for at least 30 days. Silicone will interact with the clear coat and not let the paint harden. It could also seal the paint and cause solvent pops which are areas where evaporation of solvent gets hung up under the paint and then breaks through.

The shop has already polished you car with new paint- friendly products I am sure. As for washing, you can wash the car anytime with the proper soap... specifically car wash type soap. I wouldn"t go through an automated car wash at this point.. you will probably get all the minor surface scratches back after one visit!

Best of luck!
