Polishing fresh paint

One side of my car has been resprayed about two weeks ago thanks to an accident.

What I was wondering is can I just polish it as normal or should I leave it for a certain length of time?

Any advice?

Thanks

Plenty of time, especially if it's been done properly - in an oven.

Yeah done properly in an oven, leave it a few months before polishing then? I guess I can wash as normal..

You can polish it now ,it wont harm new paintwork after 2weeks,i am a sprayer and once car has been baked and hardened you can pretty much do what you want to it.
