Do not do this.
Sounds like overspray, an aggressive/medium clay should take it right off the paint no problem. Even a light clay might work, worked on mine.
You might marr the paint slightly when using the aggressive clay but they will polish out very easy.

I think he may have been referring to the actual products you used.....and tbh i wouldnt want any products touching my fresh paint for 6 weeks atleast.
As Mikey said......clay is a good place to start.

Well your clearly doing something wrong, or not following up after claying with the necessary steps (polishing/protecting).
And yes I was on about the products you recommended but also the fact you would use abrasive compounds on paint that hasn't been de-contaminated when the paint clearly is contaminated.
