When you say you got your car 3 days ago, do you mean you got it brand new or used?
Simple, go to a petrol station and look at your paintwork under the lamps. if you see anything other than a perfect mirror finish, i.e. it has swirls, or light scratches in the paint, then it means that someone at the dealership didn't wash your car right. Cars coming off the port are usually filthy, so as part of the pre-delivery process, the car should be properly washed, and in most cases polished.
In many cases, most dealerships use rotary polishers instead of orbital polishers. The former gets the job done more quickly, and is effective in the hands of an experienced body shop professional. However, if not used properly, rotarys are the primary tool in introducing swirl marks to paintwork, even paintwork as tough as factory ones. Orbitals are more time-consuming (about 30% more effort) but with the good ones, it is hard for even an amateur to mess up paintwork.
Going back to your question: If the paintwork is perfect, then all you need to do is focus on maintenance and protection.
If the paintwork is not perfect, get a professional to work on it till it's PERFECT, then work on maintaining it. In most cases, even the best effort will result in light marring over the course of 6 to 8 months, but touching up is easier with adequate number of layers.
If you like, we can meet up some time and I can take a look at the paint condition and advise accordingly :)
