No. A simple carwash and dry will leave it looking sparkling new. The paint systems that the manufacturer's use today are state of the art. It will eventually dull, but I wouldn't worry about it for quite some time. Most of the time you will only need to buff/polish when you have scratches you want to get out.

they make a liquid polish i think mcquires and a few others, anyway i use it on the show cars i have. you just wipe on and leave and it makes it shine and repeal water real good. you really dont need anything on new paint. i will post the brand i use tomorrow when i look

Years down the road if it fades and has some mild scratches, I would Zaino the car.

A good wax job never hurts.
