Re-painted cars usually require a cure period of 10-30 + days dependant upon paint / catalyst used.

Theres nothing you can really do but protect it. I would advise using a quality sealant on that bumper as well as everything in between the bumpers.....

It's not bull...i just got my car repainted. Washed it 10 days later w/ my regular car washing hose and nozzle. Next day, there are tiny little bubbles in the paint and part of the car had to be repainted. 
You can wash the car - just no soap and no high pressure on the water spray! take off the nozzle and just spray the water through the hose opening. Just wipe off the dirt as much as possible and be patient till the paint is totally cure - around 30 days. GL.
