Since you obviously know what you are doing I have a question about my Argento paint. I noticed what looks like a greasy fingerprint on the paint, which was done either at the time of painting or when the dealer "detailed" the car. I tried using Meguiars fine cut cleaner and hard rubbing but haven't been able to remove it. I thought about using polishing compound but am worried about damaging the paint. Any suggestions? Thanks. I use Prima Epic and hydro as you do.

Have you tried claying the paint yet? And if possible, can you capture the greasy marks in picture? That would help greatly if I could see exactly what it is.
And I don't see why Prima Epic wouldn't be able to clean it up to be honest, they label it as a synthetic wax, but I've found it to be an excellent all in one product (lightly polishes the paint while putting protection down). Are you doing this by hand? Doing it by hand is tedious and require you to push so much force that you'd basically rock the car back and forth to achieve the same type of resultsas you would with a dual action polisher.

Here is a rather poor picture. It would appear the marks are under the clear coat but on top of the paint. I've tried Epic Prima and the above mentioned Meguiar's fine cut but to no avail. I put it on by hand.

That's a serious collection of detailing products! I just have one of each all stored in a single cardboard box.

if it's under the clear, then unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it.

a re-spray isn't worth it since your paint is still new.

That, unfortunately, appears to be under the paint. Best bet is to go back to the dealership and see what they say. You can always hire a Detailer o make sure no defects exists after the dealer agrees to fix it.

That auto finesse stuff is awesome we use it on all the cars here. Works wonders.
