Default How long to wait for first Wash/Wax

Does anyone have any opinions on how long someone should wait before the first wash/wax on a new car or paint job?

I waxed mine THE first thing I did when I brought it home. It has "cured" for thirty days on the ship from Japan. Don't wait, protect it.

i agree with boiler...
if i had to do it again i would have asked the dealer not to wash it- i would have had the first wash and would have "finish first"ed it then...
the dealer did prep mine so i did not detail it for a week or so-

me too - next time i get a new car the dealer wil be instructed not to touch it . . .

then it will come home and live with me - the first day home it will get a bath and loving application of the finest protection i can put on it.
